Prostreet Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Here's what they typically run. \\ Your build is looking good, nice work. Edited March 31, 2012 by Prostreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The bars on the back of a front drive drag car are more like traction bars. When the car launches the weight transfers to the back, unloading the front wheels and killing traction. These bars help keep the weight transfer under control and maintain traction. NICE BUILD! And yes, a small how-to on the intercooler's would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Great stuff! You don't see many Honda Builds, let alone Drag versions. It looks like you have a good handle on things, but in case you need more insparation, don't forget to check out Honda Tuning: http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/index.html Good luck ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
