How fast will your car be in 2008?
-
New manifold, clutch, synchros, LSD, tranny swap and retune. We'll see what happens.
-
After I get the built tranny in we'll see, should be good for 15's but I'm not too optimistic with the 2.73's in the rear end. It probibly won't be in by May 24th but I might go anyway.

How many people boost a honda up to around 400 horsepower after the motor has 100k on it, then put another 80k on it with 0 issues? Gas mileage not so much. Once I get gears and the HO conversion finished my car will be as fast as Shawns was last year if not faster, due to the auto. 14.5's in a car that has full interior, weighs about 3800 pounds with me behind the wheel, and has about 225 hp. Fine by me. Sounds better than any honda ever built too.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

When did you boost yours up to 400 hp at 100k miles and put on 80k miles with no problems?? And wow, im impressed that the car might be able to do 14.5's with all of your stipulations, it must be the magical powers of having a V8.

If you spend enough time talking to mustang guys you'll hear about cars like I described. The magical power of a V8 is obviously something you don't understand, I could care less if you are impressed, if I really wanted to impress people I drop in a built 460 with an 8-71 on it and a 9 inch and try to beat Matt's probe. I want my car to be comfortable and faster than 90% of the honda's in this town, guess what mission accomplished. As for you Jason, I love you too. I have over half of the HO conversion finished. I just need a new ECU, MAF, put Shawn's old cam and the injectors in. I have heard stories about the stock 7.5 axle breaking on cars that have no mods at the track so I don't want to push too hard until I get an 8.8.
