I'm glad you put them in their place. How could you even think to talk chit running a 22. Then be dumb enough to line up. I would believe him when he says he miss shifted. I just went out 2 weeks ago for a import event and these guys can't shift. some guys were hitting the rev limiter 2 and 3 times and these cars would still run in the 12's. One car hit the rev limiter 5 times in one run. I would think they would be drivers if their dumping all that money into the car. It looked almost like stop and go traffic, real fast , bad shift, real fast, bad shift, etc.

Pulling a 2.1 60' on a street tire and stock gears that is damn good.... The best 60' I ever got out of my brother's 97 gt was a 2.24 stock gear street tire.
Any word on those 1/8 mile times and mph's and the 1/4 mile mph's???
Just curious

The car still doesnt feel right after the PI swap I can spin my tires little to no more than I could before the swap. One of my O2 sensors is saying the car is running lean on the drivers side Could this be causing some lack of power? and possible the fact its still on the 89 tune for the NPI motor?

I would have expected you to run better after a PI swap. Did you swap out the intake manifold, heads and cams? If so, you are going to need to get a tune to take full advantage of what you did. I would say you are definitely not running at 100%.

easy....put some money on the race
I once had a ricer while we were in the lanes ask me my I bought a POS Mustang. He had some hot looking jap scrap with a pearl paint job, big wing....ya know, we've all seen em. I just laughed and walked away. Guess who I got matched up against? Yep. He ran 17.6. So i followed him to his pit and asked him if he got good gas mileage. He didn't like that......lol.

22.8?! An automatic civic ran a 22.8?! Thats a solid 4-5 seconds slower than stock... Was there a tow truck in front pulling it along? Or maybe a couple friends behind pushing it? I mean, I know civics are slow, but 22.8... Im pretty sure a stock Geo with 60hp could beat that. I wish I was there just to figure out how its possible
It actually happens all the time at cecil..
The idiots make the cars slower with big rims, body kits, wings, bull****, try to manuall shift thier autos after banging the rev limiter for 3 seconds in each gear.
They turn 16-17 second cars into 20+ its great

I used to have a 06 Legend Lime Convertible GT and ran a 13.9 stock with it... when I got the new car (in my sig) I ran a 15... I was like WTF. Both cars were auto...
It took a while to notice but the problem was that the carpet was getting jammed under the gas pedal so it wasn't going down all the way ... got down to a 13.9 after fixing the carpet, no prob and could have gone lower while still stock but ended up modding the car first.
