I guess you really can't compare awd dyno numbers to 2wd dyno numbers. Jeez. My Civic when it had exactly 400whp ran a best of 11.5@123mph with a 2.0 60' How the heavier evo traps almost the same with about the same power is beyond me. I'm guessing Adam's car definitely has power to be deep in the 10s, but he has to put the power down. The factory gearing is going to hurt. I would run a slick that has a wider diameter than stock.

Yeah I saw that. If you can go 130 in the stock 5th gear you are going to want to run a slightly larger tire. Also the trap is the last 10 yards average speed, so your actual speed at the finish line can be 2 mph higher than the start of the trap area. Plan your tire size for 140mph.
I can step down to a stock AP1 s2k rim w/is 16".
Not sure @ that point what I should look into.

dan I wish I listened to you when i was dragging my civic. I had baby slicks on it (22x15x8) and experienced too much wheelhop. I now know why.

Well I'm not saying that you couldn't still have wheel hop, but it helps a lot. Also if you have big sidewalls and this matches the natural frequency that your suspensions would like to oscillate at you can run into problems. Of course you need good bushings up front, a good front diff, good shocks, no slop in any of your suspension etc. You also need to have a good clutch and know how to use it. I preload my drivetrain with the hand brake to take the initial slap shock out of the picture. I basically put it on the 2 step, wind it up, preload the car to get the turbo whistling a bit, and let it out briskly. Its like winding up a rubber band and letting it go. My launches don't set the world on fire, but I haven't broken any parts related to launching.

Motor mounts and even traction bars did nothing but slightly exacerbate it,but still it never fully went away. One time I tried my buddy's drag radials (Nittos) and it helped huge,but my car would bog. lolthestruggles

You use meth, that shit is no good for you or your car. Take a good hard look at your brake booster............

But when it's spraying their is no vacuum?
It only comes on during positive pressure, so therefore it shouldn't be sucked into the rest of teh system.

No,but you get combustion byproducts after you drop the throttle,right? Catch can?
Dont kill the messenger. Im just guessing at what Dan's leading on. lol
