Low 12's with these mods

Is anyone at all close to low12's high 11's with similar mods to those listed below?

Streetport, 2mm hurley seals, Apexi PFC, m2 Large SMIC, Intake, dp, cb, fuel pump, 1300cc injectors, boost controller (14lbs) radiator, ast, act s/s clutch, with decent tires. Just trying to get an idea what times people are running with similar setups. Thanks!

youll get 11s maybe on slicks....rikki has that setup basically...and he ran an 11.7 on slicks...if you drive perfect then youll hit low twelves on street tires once the car is properly tuned.

I don't think you'll hit 11s without a midpipe. 12s for sure.

Actually the stock cat flows well...I have seen a difference of only 6 hp between a bonez hi-flow vs a stock cat..(dyno)

care to mention what boost you were running?
sometimes that can be an important factor in hp

brooks is cool he's been helping me with setting up a manual boost controller

he still remembers his rx7 stuff although he's in viper land

I bet you his old rx7 can't run a 11.4 now!! hahaha
it's in rx7 heaven

you forgot the stickers!! gotta have stickers!!

right rikki!!


hahah

whoever said the stock cat flows well doesnt run enough boost to know how restrictive that unit is.

now granted...i run the m2 bb set...but I can not run any more than 15lbs on a CLEAN stock cat. no matter what i do it chokes it at 15 lbs steady. Im not sure what cfm that is...I will try to find out...but anyhow...open the cat up and its free flow time. there was a big power gain for me with no cat.


its loud as hell....and stinks like a ****.

I am a moderate driver and was also thinking about adding a mp. I just don't want the noise and smell. Maybe I would just throw it on for the track. However, that would require some more tuning. Would I still need to port the wg if I had the Blitz SBC-iD?

Actually this :
October 8, 1997
Temp F. 83
Absolute Barometer 28.19


Dial
Reaction Time 0.543
60 ' time 1.665
330' time 4.746
1/8 mile time 7.338
1/8 mile MPH 95.79
1/4 mile time 11.42
1/4 mile MPH 120.60

Since I just finished breaking in my new clutch, I thought I would try my luck at the track again....

First run out was a 12.02 @ 114.5 MPH. As I hit 4th gear, I looked over at the boost gauge, only 12 pounds of boost......amazing what you'll forget when your out there at the track....I forgot to turn the boost up.....

On the return lane I adjusted the valve to 15 pounds.....

Next run was a 11.42 @ 120.6 MPH.

His car made 362.5 rwhp @ 14 psi so 15 Psi would have given him ~370 rwhp...the temp was also warm so on a cooler day his car would have been quicker..... as all of us know.
