tonite a buddy of mine ran his rx at the track,first of all this is a 88 se w/o emissions,wired open 5th and 6th ports,header and true duals and he ran a 14.9 in the 1/4.how caould his car do this with that lil amount of work?his car is set up basicly like mine but with out the porting.

 

That's a good run for an SE. Has he done any weight reduction?

 

SEs have less options, so that means less weight. That is probably a factor.

That's a pretty impressive time.

 

Ya thats a really impressive time to me. I got a damn low 16 with my TII All I have is an intake but stock I should see low 15s. When I get my tires I'll see if I can redeem myself but ****. I think I may have low compression or something, even though the engine was rebuilt not too long ago. Might be time for the ATF trick

 

all the weight reduction that he did was remove the spare tire.i have no idea how he did it but i do knowthat is very fast for that lil amount of mods.and oh ya he romoved the muffler and ran strait pipe

 

true dual with headers and no mufflers??? dam, be probably broke the timming machine with the noise

 

he said his ears were buzzing for about 2 hours afterwards

 

man that was really mooovin, sure he isn't sneaking some nos or some other little secret he isn't telling you?

 

I'd imagine that was pretty loud...I heard an FC with just a header, cat and pre-silencer, and it sounded mean as hell.

 

What kind of tires did he have?

Alot of quarter mile times are dependent on how well you do the first 1/8 mile...so if he can drive, then he can get those times.

...of course, those times are REALLY good.

 

no cat if running a pre-silencer unless it is a short header like a PS.

if you listened to Alf's bridgeport idling that is what a header/pre-silencer/straight pipe (no mufflers) will sound like at idle.

deaf at redline

 

must have had a great 60' time
with 75 shot of nitrous it should be in 13s...

 

I ran 15.8 in my 86 Base N/A ...

only mods listed below and P/S A/C removed..

That is very impressive time 14.9... Good reaction time I'm assuming with a GREAT launch.... was it a cold day?

he running good tires? sounds like he won't have too much low end, but high end he should be roaring if he managed to launch it high and keep it high then all good... Very impressive!

 

i know for a fact he is hiding nothing i live with the kid,the exhaust was header to strait pipe no cats nothing just pipe,he ran my AVON road race slicks on the back.

 

I was wondering the same thing. That's a little too quick for that kinda of car. Running an open header like that...man that's gotta be loud.

 

88 se's tend to do well in the 1/4 spitflamesho on the forum ran 15.1 in his SE. nopistnsnoproblm ran 15.9 basically stock. the best i could get in my 89 GTU was 15.98 with headers hiflow cat intake.....
