That's not bad for a stock LS

 

[dc2b18]

yea not bad at all

 

[red98teg]

i guess gutting a car is a cheap way to "make" a few hp lol

 

[jcun360]

nice for a stock ls. do some bolt-ons and get into the low 15's

please, explain this to me? How can i make hp by taking out interior?

to the OP...not bad times. Ive seen modified LS's run slower that that. 8)

you take the curb weight of your car and divide it by the amount of horsepower you have. The number you end up with is how many pounds you need to take out of the car to get 1 horsepower. For example every 18.9 lbs i take out of my car i gain 1hp.

Thats actually pretty good guys, think about it. back in 1999-2000, that gen Civic Si, with the B16 dohc vtec motor ran 16's and that was supposedly quick for being stock then. A Integra running half a second faster than a vtec b16 civic? That's pretty quick.

yeah guess gutting it does make a big difference, my fastest is a 16.8 (laugh it up lol)....for real though i need to practice my launch

 

[Cheesenip]

guttin will help you out but no one has ever gained HP from it. I like his little math equation on free hp.

 

[JimmyRos.]

if that's the case. if i can launch the car and jump out simultaneously while leaving a brick on the gas pedal i should go faster because less weight is in the car. yes....... i must try it!

Do it in the civic..then get the evo
