RE: Prep. car for racing
is it stock? how many miles. ok put it this way there isnt much you can do that will make a difference. but if u insist lol. oil change, clean the fuel system, deflate the rear tires a bit, take out as many things ie. the spare tire.

Car isnt stock but close to it. I had the oil changed about 4 days ago and it wasnt synthetic cuz im putting the car away within a week anyways because of winter. I have a motoblue 42% UDP and a CAI and Iridium spark plugs... I am running fuel injector cleaner through it currently...

Racing with a stock V6? Eh
Hope it's like stock D series Hondas and 4 cylinder Fox Bodies. No offense to anyone in here.
Definitely lower the tire pressure to about 25 psi. That lowered my 60' at the track last time by about .3-4 seconds.
