mid-13's is a lot of difference than a 14.0x.&nbsp We're talking 50hp here.&nbsp Mid 13's is like 250bhp with a perfect launch.

Turbo.

Or some serious weight reduction, lots of nitrous, more radical porting and more fuel.

You could do it Honda style and drive around with one seat and a gauge cluster for interior.

An fuel system of some kind would be a good addition. An SAFC of if you have the money you could get a Haltech.
Weight redux ie A/C,P/S, airpump, convert to electric fan, and remove everything else under the hood that you dont need.

Its pretty damn hard to get an NA in the mid 13s. But at least you got a streetport and are willing to use N2O. I'd say you need some drag radials at least and maybe bump the N2O up to like a 75 shot. Also a fuel controller of some sort and some dyno time should help alot.

Well, My second gen weighs just a hair over 2400lbs with easy weight reduction, but I had no idea that another 200lbs could be dropped.

How'd you get it down so low?
