it would depend on how much you ran with stock. Also how much hp is the intake and vaccum hoses gonna give. When you switch to silicone it should have your car running the average stocked hp.

Have the same mods I am running 14- 13.8 with 2.5 second 60 times . with more practice I should get my 60 down to 2 seconds or less Keep in mind it's all about the launch. With some practice you should run in the mid thirteens

well it is true that you need launch but its also shifting. if you miss clutch or screw up on shifting in anyway you will loose (learn how to downshift). Also the grip on the tires is an issue too.

Why the hell would you downshift on the quarter mile?

I was thinking that too...maybe if you missed and did a 2nd to 5th, then you would need to down shift

A good intake, downpipe, & proper boost @ ~11PSI is good for about 240-260 at the wheels.

I know a guy that has a drop in K&N, bottom cut out of the stock airbox, gutted pre-cat & about 8.5PSI on the second turbo. He put down 231 corrected on a VERY hot day.

Nick from N-tech pulled a 13.5 1/4 on a bone stock touring model with stock tires! He dyno'ed 220ish. So a healty Intake+DP is capable of low 13's- high 12's!

He pulled an awsome 60' though IIRC.

Also get a boost gauge to diagnose possible leaks.

Because he was granny shifting and not double clutching like he should.
