Not impressed by the civic honestly. Should run better then that given the power and weight.

Mustangs doing work though

The civic puts up a pretty good fight against my buddy's ~630 whp nitrous corvette and runs pretty much dead even with a local "700" whp vette.

So it has trouble with a 430whp vette but puts up a fight with one that makes 630?

I went to a bigger tire the day before, 225/50 to a 235/60 and it actually hurt the car and didn't have time to change the tune. Car is 2280lb, probably close to 2400lbs with my buddy and a full tank of fuel. Also the vette was on the bottle, 540 or so.
I had fun, I'll get it worked out and give it another run just to impress you though

I kinda figured after seeing that run again the vette was spraying. There's always another side to the story

I have yet to see a 235/60 car run as strong as the 225/50's. The tire is just too big IMO.

Im assuming that's non vtec?

I honestly like the tire man, but I will agree they're huge lol. M&H over M/T for me now. It picked up on the top end with the tire but it don't jump out as hard now, only downside of them to me. It's a LS-v though.

2 sides of the story thats what I was told. The power went from 400 to 500 depending on who I ask same with the boost. The owner said 400 at first then a couple of mustang guys from his area said 500 he later said 450 I mean who really knows no one tells the truth

It's around 420 on 26lbs, car did make 500 but it was on the race gas tune and with other cams. Someone also told the cobra guy's it made 600, I was honest with you guys the whole time about the car. If it don't come out of MY mouth than don't believe it lol. It was a fun night and also enjoyed meeting you guy's!

I think they are a good for the track, but on the street they probably take more time to get heat in them and the size puts alot more load on the engine. I wouldn't rock the M/T either just because of how fast they will wear.

Take a look at NT01s or R888's.
