I'll be out there with open headers, slicks, and clean the junk out of my car lol.
I'll probably be out there tomor and open header. I've heard that the omni CMC is good as well. Also my shifter bushings really helped my trans with goin into 3rd and giving the transmission a better feel.
Omni CMC is night and day difference from stock. I had stock when i went to the track, it sucked getting into 2nd gear....if I had the Omni I woulda went faster, no doubt.
Well I ran this same Ep3 you did donsep3, both times from a 40 roll and he got me by 2 cars by end of 4th gear. I don't have video unfortunately because it was a heat up getting to the spot so I took down my GoPro. But he slowly walked out to about 2 cars and it stayed there, so that ep3 is running good, especially for full interior. Ima try to get a rerun.

Nice!! He gotta have at least head work done to it.
So this K20a3 EP3 is pulling a bolt on/tuned K20z1 EP3 and a 103 trap RSX? Must be at least FBO (manifold/TB included) a ported head and cams on the a3 if he's still on the 5spd.

My car lost too.

He pulled a 370z from a 40 roll too, by 2 cars. I think he has a Z1 or Z3 swap plus headwork. I saw his motor and he has an RBC Mani and fuel rail and he admits to being Kpro tuned. But there is more to his setup. Because he has absolutely NO weight reduction done to the car.

Was the mani cut?

Nah it's not cut.

I've heard of him running spray in the past from other ppl too. But when he showed me the motor I didn't see any lines or anything, plus he only pulled 2 cars on me. Hes probably all motor.

Yeah I'm curious too! That's little Ep3 moves tho. After you do cams you should run him, probably be a good run.

Yeah, we will see.
Didn't the 370 have a passenger though? I've pulled 2 370s, and have had 2 pull me. Never ran one on my current setup though. I'm sure I'd be even or maybe pull a stock one, but not a modded one. I need a tune first.

Yes 370 had a passenger (donsep3) but he is a light guy. The 370 has intakes and I believe exhaust and maybe test pipes, it runs good tho. Either way you look at it that 370 is probably a 105+ car with a passenger and those mods at the very least. And that ep3 pulled 2 cars on him up till about 110. The ep3 is a solid high 12 sec car in my opinion.
Too bad you guys are far, I'd run that Ep3.
make a trip down here and and well grab a few beers.

I second that!
Maybe sometime in the fall, we'll see. My roommate from college lives in Georgia now so maybe I can stop over there as well. For reference, another RSX-S, I believe an 02-04 dyno'd on Xenocron's dyno with the DC 2.2's. Stock block, stock head + cams/valvetrain, DC Sports Header, RBC, 2.25 Exhaust, not sure what intake, put down 198whp. My bolt on setup on that dyno put down 197whp. They are going back with a PLM header and 3" exhaust, I hope they can put down another 10-15whp. Don't get too obsessed with the overal peak numbers because the dyno reads really low, corrected on a dynojet my numbers were 225-230whp. I can't wait to get my car back and get back on there. I really want another 20whp out of this setup.
