Running a boosted integra this weekend!!

Yeah my buddy just finally got his car put back together and i asked him if he wanted to do some runs this weekend. I asked what kind of mods he had its a gsr boosted he is using a sc61 dual ball bearing turbo. He told me he was making 437 on 18 lbs on pump gas. Should i be worried? I have a large streetport , turbonetics t66 turbo tuned at 15 lbs never been dynoed. What you guys think?

Nope, i wouldnt be worried at all...Your most likely at the same weight as him, and there is no way he is getting any traction until atleast top of 3rd mabye 4th(depending on suspension setup and such). You are most likely making around 400 wheel, mabye more. He has a little power, but you have traction

yeah he wants to do a 60 roll i'm kind of worried cause he ran an 05 z06 with intake, long tube headers and a tune and beat it by a car.

Well if you cant beat him on the roll just see who can do a better top speed. That trans on the integra should only go up to like 130ish.

With 437whp I don't see why he wouldn't have removed the speed limiter already. And if he has sticky wide tires with a proper alignment he shouldn't have any traction issues from a 60 roll.

What year is it? If its the latest generation, I think the tranny allows 140mph before redline, which means if you keep going you will pass him.

That integra is going to be pretty fast especially from a roll. If it was a dig he would have MAJOR traction issues. Even from a roll at 60 without sticky tires he is going to spinning. My friends civic hatch with about 300ish whp spins tires from a 60 roll.

Remember spinning ain't winning.

why are you doing this only on his terms?

From 60-140. In otherwords only where HIS car performs the best. Because below 60 he has no traction, and above 140 his tranny runs out of gear.

He has a better power to weight ratio but the FD is a great all around sports car, and he is denying you that ability to use it. I'd say do at least one run from a dig all the way to 140. See if he ever catches up.

Just do a run in the rain. THEN you'll have traction issues haha

No screw that. I cant imagine how dangerous that would be.
Lookin forward to the vids!

Race in the day night vids suck. How hard is it to find a camera man honestly.
