Depends on the milage of the car. I'd say very high 14's though, because without the flywheel it'd be around 15.2 to 15.5, depending on your abilities, but I'm not sure about the condition of your engine or how much difference the fidanza flywheel makes.

manual Vtec preludes run about 15.1... so you can make a judgement from there if you race them often.

This one I raced was at the track it had exhaust and intake. I beat him but I only got a 15.9. He got a 16. But all the cars ran like crap nobody was pulling excellent times that had any work done. The humity was 100% and the temp outside was 75 F. So Im quessing that made a pretty dramatic difference. I know in second and third gear my car studered as well as my friends cars. My buddy in his evo8 couldnt get lower than a 14.4 (stock) and there suppose to break 13s. And Ive seen them do it when its colder out. Thanks

Cool see. Whats getting me is I had another guy drive my car in november of last year before I fixed my camber, before new tires, clutch, radiator, mounts or flywheel. And with me in the car 175lbs of extra weight. He got a 15.7. So I know the weather has something to do with it. Because Im actually at alot higher speed than I was then and my 60ft times are real close or the same. I dynoed at 143.1 pwr, 143.7 torque to the wheels in 4rth gear at 111 miles an hour. On a hot day humid as well. On 93 octane. So its over stock and my power band is sick looking I have alot of power in places I didnt have it before. Thanks

My guess is 15s depending on the temp and the driving conditions, plus how you drive

You'll run low 15s.

If you hit 14s, come back here...WITH a timeslip scanned...and brag to all of us, 'cause you'll be the first.

I hope. Im not the first Ive seen it done. The only difference was he had cams, but I have radiator and some other mods on him. He rolled a 14.6. So it is possible Im adding a nismo fuel regulator and walbro fuel pump, and 300zx fuel filter to the mix. Ive gotten into the 15's but not low yet Im waiting till the weather cools. Thanks

100% humidity? Yeah, that would definitely cause some issues.

there was a guy on here a couple months ago with A LOT of work done, bragging 14s. i dont think ever scanned a slip though.

and saying for traction you have kumho ecstas is kind of an oxymoron

i ran a 15.6 and im still bone stock (except for suspension) since then I got wheels that are 6 lbs lighter each. I gotta get i/h/e and pulley. I think that will put me in low 15s.

you really noticed a huge difference with flywheel though??

Yeah I have a ton of suspension. I havent had any trouble with the kuhmos You just have to heat them up a little they stick pretty good. Yeah the flywheel was awesome. What kind of wheels did you put on. How many miles are on your car?

I put kosei k1s on it, i had lame motegi mr7s. i have 90K on my engine, had 82K when I ran it.

suspension setup is kyb agx (set on rock hard) and tanabe springs. I know my nitto neo gens grabbed the road good at the track (after a sicky burnout). I havnt ran at the track with the kumhos, but I dont like their grip on the street.

Well this might help to for traction. I put a wider tire on. I have 225/50r16 instead of the stock 205/5516. That inch on the tire I think is the improvement. I was impressed with the kuhmos for the price. What was your top speed if you dont mind me asking of that run.

Well now i have 225/50 R16 ecstas on the koseis. I had 205/50 neo gens on the MR7s when I ran these .....

The first one is my 15.6, and the second one is a 15.7, but check out that reaction time!!! .000 is perfect at Cecil Dragway, not .500 like most tracks.
