?? on 1/4 times

Im just getting my car back from the shop in the next 2 weeks. and i added a few new mods to the new motor. And i had a few question as to how much better the car will preform with these mods on the 1/4 mile.

Has anyone had the setup of...Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, PowerFC, S/S Clutch and 9.5 flywheel?

After i have saved a little more moeny to afford tunning and IC i was thinking about goin with, Intake, Exhaust, Downpipe, Midpipe, S/S Clutch, 9.5 flywheel and IC, and non-seq turbos. what times can be seen with this setup?

13.5 Unless your an Ub3r shitty driver. Expect to beat him. Im thinking stockfor stockw ith your car in good conditiong and some sticky tires you could've beat him if he's as shitty of a drive you say he is.

I know someone with that same setup and they ran mid 12's consistently

If he's asking, it means he's never been to the track and has no idea what his car will run, or possibly even how to launch. To say it will run X is misleading at best. There's no way of knowing how well it will perform until he actually goes to the track. The saying "you're only as fast as your last run" was coined for a reason.

I know someone with that same setup and they ran mid 12's consistently
Just FYI, driving skills aren't genetically passed to other owners of the same type of car.

I was saying in general if he isn't shitty drive he should be able to pull a 13.5 and beat the cobra..."IF"

To be rhetorical.."IF" he isn't a shitty driver..its all based on possibility...not reality because he hasn't done it yet.

I have PFC, intake/dp/mp/exhaust, act clutch, and I'm already non-sequential. The previous owner claimed to have run a 12.8. Im not even sure if that was possible. When it worked I raced a guy in a 350Z with just exhaust and barely pulled him. Then again this was when my car first started acting up and had the weird turbo/bov noise.

I gonna go out in the LIMB.

I say he RUNS high 13's or 14's.


I always find it funny when people ask " what will it run"
So many variable in racing, from traction, to shifting and etc.
But the fact he asking newbie questions.. I say he runs
what stated above.

Not flaming.. just my opinion. Let us know, hope you prove me wrong.l

I predict first three runs he'll bog it.....

4th run No traction

5th run Wheel Hop

6th Run 13.7 no better

....My point being...PRACTICE

But you aren't asking if you would be able to beat your friends cobra and...how many times did you practice before pulling off that time?
