mods in sig, what should I run?

you can see the mods. What do you think with a good driver the car SHOULD do in the 1/4. Assume the power FC records .84 Bar after the run. Assume a 2.0 on Nittos.

12.5-13.0

If i remember your posts correclty, i think you are trapping a bit low at 106 mph (if i am wrong...sorry). Something might be up somewhere in your system as you should be trapping 110-114mph.

Also consider a midpipe. i have raced two different FD's. with dp,cb, intake, and power fc. I have those mods plus a mp. one race was at the track. i bet him by a half a second and he had a much better 60' time by three tenths. The other race was on the highway from 55mph roll. I absolutely murdered him...i just ran away. After that race we slowwed down to bs...he thought i had alot of mods but i just had + a mp.
GET ONE!

Matty,

I know there is NO comparison between a highflow cat and a MP. Interesting #'s you show me.

Just to clarify...

You think I should run a 12.8 with a 2.0 60? I can see a 12.8 with a really good 60'. But with a 2.0?

with a MP I would say yes to a 12.8 with a 2.0 60'. What is your reasoning?

ya know....at the strip i really dont think an IC makes that much of a difference. My opionion is that it allows you to run more # boost if you have the fuel thats basically it. Get bigger inj and a mp run 14-15 psi and you will have one sick as street car

I've got similar mods.... You should be running high 12's, minimum. With the Nitto's, you should be under 2.0 60 foot time.

I'm still not sure if I will head up.... I might wait until the October Grudge night, when the temps will be high 70's instead of high 90's.

With your boost level and if the PFC is slightly tuned, a 12.8 shouldn't be any problem with your mods.

I have the ACT s/s, M2 ta & tl, and got 1.9' on normal street tires. You should atleast get that if not a 1.8' on drag radials.

So did you run it?

I dont have an intake or pfc yet and I ran with street tires 2.1 60' and ran 13.3
I would say 12.8-13.0 sounds right
