Hey guys, I need some advice. I own an automatic sohc vtec 96 civic. Now, What should I do to improve my 1/4 mile time? I did have a short ram intake on it but it took away all my torque and I gained about -10 hp. I ran it at the track with the intake at 17.4. Thats ridiculous, I want a 15 sec car without the help of the juice. My launch is disgusting, I take off like a 300 pound 12 year old who just ate two pizza pies, how should I launch the car? Power brake? Would puleys make a huge difference on an automatic? Im so confused...I keep getting different opinions from different people. What should I start off with?
thanks.

if you have to start with the auto sohc set-up i would suggest a header and exhaust. maybe further down the road port your head and throttle body. and add a larger cam, ignition

In my old beater civic dx auto hatch I could launch good (relatively speaking) by reving the piss out of it in nuetral and then pushing it into drive... I could do some pretty decent burnouts

Probably wanna avoid doing this if it's your daily driver.

You got the wrong car if you looking for performance. 4 speed auto sucks... you can spend thousands on mods and still only be capable of hanging with a stock 5spd. Only solution for you is Nitrous.
