Help needed to set up up a Drag car

[JoeC]

what's with all the hate in this thread?

I'm 98% sure his 500whp were with forced induction, not NA. Removing any restriction in exhaust like mentioned mufflers/resonators/cats, adding straight pipe which just happens to be hood exit exhaust might benefit such engine too. Maybe not for +200whp, but who knows.
To me more interesting seems how can that car still be streetable if possible changes to engine/suspension/cage addition and so on for drag purposes would certainly make big red sign here at least if legal side is considered. Are inspection rules State-side that much different?

Are you retarded ? I said I'm going back to the dyno and I stated I'm on and old tune. I assumed you'd be smart enough to realize I'll be adding more boost.

haha, I am just having fun with you, I thought the wing part and civics would clue in to the fact I am being sarcastic haha! I am interested in your build though I want to see more drag FRS's running the FA20.

That stick up your bum is extra weight you could be removing. ROFL I kid but come on man post up some pics and vids I'm a bit curious to see how fast it moves out of the gate

This is the only coilover I have seen on the forums that suggest they would be better for drag racing than autocross etc.

Other than that I would have thought an alignment that gives you minimal toe and camber when squatting would be a good thing for traction.

I wonder... looks like they use very similar parts to the HKS Hypermax and Skunk2. I wonder which factory in Taiwan is making those for them and where it's located. Taichung or Tainan?

R888's aren't a particularly good drag tire... get a drag radial with softer sidewalls, and run the smallest rim diameter you can to give the tire maximum flex (and grip).

They aren't, not at all but I've had good luck with them on many other cars that had more horsepower, and i was also dailying the car so i needed something more streetable

My new wheel setup is this

Will those slicks even fit under the fender wells? They look to be almost 3 times the width of stock tires...

[wparsons]

^^ Which ones do you mean? The really wide ones in the first picture, or the ones standing up in the second picture?

I'm assuming he's running the M/T drag slick that's standing up in the second picture, not the really wide michelins laying down in the first picture.

500 hp give or take how much?? Forged bottom end components and all else stock, what the hell else are you running? You have to be running more than upgraded pistons and rods under boost to almost triple the power output like that.

The Mickey thompsons with skinnes the wheels stacked in the back are my Viper TA track set.
