Arrow 0 to 60 WITH THESE MODS?

I'm thinking of buying a TII with these mods:

--New Streetported motor
--3" exhaust Turbo back from Racingbeat
--Intake cone
--Starion FMIC, nice size
--Stock turbo rebuilt & modified to flow 850cfm
--12A distributor modified, 2 MSD 6AL BTM's, 2 60,000
volt coils adjustable spark
--Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
--Digital fuel injection from SDS-EFI, programmed by
handheld keypad.

The guys says that the EFI still needs fine tuned. He said he took it for a cruise and it ran pretty well. He said it pushed him back in the seat.

I was wondering what 0 to 60 this thing is capable of doing? Also, with these mods I figured it would plant your *** in the seat, could the EFI not being fine tuned effect power that much?

Thanks guys.

Who knows. There's a million variables here that can change this. I would guess, at first blush, probably 5sec flat to begin with. It all depends on the amount of air the engine is moving in and out at its quickest and most loaded speed. Get it on the dyno.

Yeah raising the overal power curve and avoiding spikes & dips is the key.

Once tuned though - zoom zoom.

If everything is running well (which I doubt with the SDS), it's possible to crank out a 5.0 0-60mph time or even possibly dip into the high 4's.

well considering the street port, bigger turbo, and big exhuast all lower the bottom end power it's probably not the greatest. but tune it right and wind through 3rd and 4th and you'll probably **** yourself
