He just threw those tires on. He had the car dialed in with street tires. I think he was break boosting on the closest run they had. The one from his helmet cam or whatever. This is the same car that beat the E85 bolt on GTR on street tires. He just slapped those big *** tires on and its hurting his hit he says.

I've had mostly good luck keeping cars from jumping out on the hit like that with less tire.

The power is obviously there, but like most hondas, its not all working.

I seriously underestimated brake boosting until I got a car worth doing it in. Ive run with/outrun cars that by the numbers I shouldnt stand a chance against. Its great. Id run 2SS for the pure **** of it if he hadnt moved to columbia to sell hookers and blow.


Btw, any of you guys know of a guy here in Norman, OK with a white 5th gen SS running a hellion turbo kit? He said its a stock cube forged motor with a hellion kit at 12psi. Said it made 695 to the wheels on the stock block at 12psi.

You don't live in a polluted city in 100F 90% humidity all day with temperatures soaring over 100. Buildings everywhere and heat is a killer down here. Literally in my car in traffic if I don't have FULL AC on I sweat like crazy.

New mod motor record was just set at 6.08 this last weekend. Dropped a few tenths.
