Video of Mike B's FD getting run down by Civic w/ 142mph trap speed

Well, I'm so close to joining the 10 sec club! I ended up running a 11.2 @ 123mph. This last weekend, I got my FD retuned with more fuel and tuned. I ended up dynoing at 472hp and 424ft/lbs torque. I was really expecting much more but oh well, it felt really fast.


I know there's a lot more in the car as we tuned to 21lbs and advanced the timing to only 13 degrees. I am very worried that I will break a inner CV stub again so I didn't launch the car like I normally would.

Here's a video of me getting run down by the Civic. It had 680hp on the same dyno and ended up running his best of the day and then blew his engine on the following run! I guess that will teach him to pick on my FD!

We will see if next month I can break into the 10's by going to a track that is a little lower in elevation. This video took place at Bandimere which is 5280ft.

i know a guy that came from colorado and moved to New Jersey, and he told me it was night and day. He said it made alot more power. I dont know how much, i just remember him saying what a difference it made just because of the altitude etc.. nice vid and nice fd... PS. no matter what that civic ran.... at the end of the day, its still a civic. lol Not a bad car but its no FD.

You must be talking about my buddy Brandon in Silver FD? He moved from CO to NJ.
