1- What numbers should i expect to run?
2- I have no mods besides a "ricey" dual tip muffler, and my friend that i made a bet with has a 1990 Integra with air filter... he drives a stick.. should i expect to win the bet?
3- Would it be worth to invest a K&N filter at the last minute?
4- Am i crazy to try to run in a track with no mods and will I make a fool outta myself?
5- Power breaking? allowed? good? bad? do it or not?
6- Lights.. somebody told me that once i see the last orange light.. to go... is that right or am i really supposed to wait for the green?
7- Any other suggestions will be heavily appreciated... Thank you
Pedro,
Later

heres the scoop, i got a 89 sohc auto with just a n1 dual catback so i feel your auto pain.
I ran two 16.8's leaving he car in drive with OD off.
mph-was 84
To get the best launch i think you should do what i did(it will work even better ifyou have LSD)
Just stage and start powerbraking it, increasing RPMS until it starts to break loose then let off slightly so it stops. THen gun it on the last yellow(dont worry about redlighting if you leave on the last yellow because our cars arent fast enough to get out of hole quick enough. I beat a wrx off the line and rsx type s(of course they both murdered me about 20 feet later) haha but anyways. Its an easy method and its consistant and it seems to work well. now good luck honda hunting(prey that they cant drive unless its a low end model haha) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

BTW- this was on a 118k motor that failed 4 weeks later..So i expect you to run anywhere from 16.5-17 at about 85mph...Plus our altitudes are different im sure. I have no clue how far above sea level where you are or ohio where i am

I think the integra probably has you here, unless he sucks at driving, or is cripled and has to push the pedals with a stick and his chin... haha jk, but just go out and try, I dont think you'll see much difference with just a filter. Maybe consider a 5spd swap? But good luck anyways, hopefully you didnt bet too much money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
