quarter mile times...

Just taking a brief look at the quarter miles times and mods I'm trying to understand how people are shaving in excess of a full second with with bold-ons with stock boost and turbo. Then factoring that a professional set the stock(car and driver) times, it just seems obsurd...

FYI, the CAD time was 13.9 and factory was 14.0

Easily. You can still signifacantly increase hp with bolt on mods and a good tune. Also a good set of slicks can shaved around a second off the time also.
