is this possible? i don't believe it. i raced a guy this past weekend and all he said he had was cai, exhaust, and pulleys. and it was a sportshift. well i have a 5 speed which is pretty well modified and when we raced, he was pulling. he said that he is running 14.8. i looked under the hood and i didn't see any nitrous lines. what the deal. i still can't believe it.
did you check the intake see if it have any other line going into the intake pipe usually they hide the line but can't hide that, another thing might be possible is he got more **** in there and not teling you like camshaft and head workand port n polish. B/c there is no way he can hit 14.8 with thoes mod, even stick will have ahardtime hiting that time man, i'm not saying its not posible for stick but its just hard. I myself and my sorry assdriving skillz can't hit that time at all hehehe
Ok the best I have ever run was tonight and I ran a 16.5 with my I/E only, so there is no damn way that he runs that time with just I/E/P on his car, if I'm wrong I want to see the time slips that prove it too.

As I know, a bad combination of I/H/E could slow down your car like 1-2 sec and a good combination set of I/H/E can help your car run 1 or bit more sec faster.
Sometime different track will give different results, depense on track condition, temperature, sea level and etc....
I did saw a Prelude SH with I/E ran 17sec (yes 17sec) in 1/4mile in the 1999 summer , and the best 5 spd lude I saw can do is mid 15 sec (With I/E). I did 16.1sec with an exhaust and with the air box open. The temperature at that day is around 32C degree.
I saw many cars had I/E and still run slower than a stock car, so , I think it is important to chose a fit I/H/E.
And true that the UR underdrives pully does help a lot, SS owner should go for it.
1-2 secs slower or 1 sec better? Are you on crack? Clearly, different elevations will produce different results, but there is no way that any aftermarket intake, header, and exhaust could worsen your times by 1-2 secs, much less make them better by 1 or more seconds.
Most of what you've seen with preludes with differing amounts of modifications going different speeds has to do with driver skill. Not the combination of mods.
The only thing true in your statement is that the pullies do help SS preludes a lot

Hum.... I heard a smell of fire here, where are the moderators?
If you guys want a Proof, go buy a Japanese auto Magazine names "Best Motoring", it shows many type of test with different type of modifications. Another good example is from "Option Fans" a Hong Kong car magazine which showed a WRX STI with a non suitable exhaust which made it run more than 1 sec SLOWER.
(a stock STI run 5 sec and they did almost 7sec , so what is the different?) and their website is www.optionfans.com.hk send email to them and ask please.
Passart VR6:
When did I give **** in here? Are you talking about the equation about 1/4mile's run? Ha, funny, I reply the same thing like more than 20 times, and you still don't get it. First, I said 1 sec is not 10 cars' length from the race between 2 PRELUDES. It could happen when a Porsche VS Ferrari.. Then after FEW DAYS, someone did made a good research and find out a high school equation, well, the equation does not have any problem BUT, if you learn more care fully, that equation only works if both PRelude run constanly (let say 89MPH VS 91MPH) from 0- 1/4 mile.
In the real world, it is not true. car's speed keep changing from 0-10MPH, then 10 - 20 MPH and etc.....
Let say if a Prelude SS is really 10 cars behind a 5 spd in 1/4mile, then may I ask you again what is the speed of the SS at that moment? Remember, the speed or velocity, distance keep change, not constant.
Who speaks BS here? I remember you said a Prelude can keep up or even beat a WRX, well..... But when I just get a MBC and boosts it to 15PSI, I did 13.9sec in1/4 mile, hum, and the MBC cost me only 300$, so, what do you think? Still can beat my WRX?
And you said your good friend with XX lanch is like god 's skill but he did 15.1sec in 1/4mile with I/E in winter time, so, who speak BS here? Funny.
Guys, I am just trying to help some of the Prelude owners, but the funny thing is, because I have a Prelude SS in my garage, then some of this guy keep blame on it ..... That is why people laugh Honda owners.....
I am still waiting to get a Lancer Evo VII in Canada, and let see which of the Prelude owners will say he can keep up or beat a Evo with I/H/E and etc.... (Evo run less than 5sec in 100KM/H and 13sec in 1/4mile)
and 1 more thing is, when a 5 spd owner said he lost to a Prelude SS owner (both with I/E if I remember well, someone plz go look for it), then tons of 5 spd owners keep say that the SS owner should has NOS in it, but that guy say he can't find any NOS in his car but all 5 spd owners just keep saying , "he should hide the bottle or pipe some where you can't see" Well, good try.
When a Prelude 5 spd owner said his Prelude keep up well and smoke cars like Supra, RX7 or 300ZX etc, everyone will say "good kill, our Preludes are the best" .
Oh, and I am wondering where is this member "Variant"?
This member only comes to blame me everytime I do reply and post... Then another specific member will come "on time" and try to make "their" or "his" agreement become stronger.... Hum...
So, PassatVR6, didnt you email them yet? I still have the magazine to prove what I was talking about, and tons of Japanese Magazine proof NOT ALL performance parts can make your car run faster, sometimes, it does the opposite way.
And I am still confuse about what and when did you proof as you said I am a "dumbass"?
When a Prelude 5 spd owner said his Prelude keep up well and smoke cars like Supra, RX7 or 300ZX etc, everyone will say "good kill, our Preludes are the best" .
Good behavior...... [/B]
Well I've beaten a 300ZX(non-turbo), an older RX-7, and some of the older Supra's. But of course not the newer ones.....

Cool, I am agree about it too, but what happen here is "A Prelude 5 spd owner (with mod) got BEAT BY A PRELUDE SS with the same MOD (or even less)..
