I broke 10's on Twins!!!!

Just kidding. That was my tease to get you to read my post. I am planning on going to the track for the first time with my FD and I just wanted to see what you would expect for times. My mods are:
Pettit Streetport
3mm Apex Seals
Pettit Cold Air Intake
Pettit Main Drive Pulley
Pettit DP
Pettit Cat Back
Apex Power FC
Blitz SMIC
Pettit Short Shifter
Eibach Pro Kit
Misc. non-performance mods
I am hoping to get in the 12's with my street tires 245/45/ZR16 BF Goodrich G-Force KDW. I am going to drop air down to around 20psi and hope they hook up. Any info would be great. I have a midpipe on order as well as a Denso fuel pump but I won't have them on before I go because I'll have to retune my Power FC and I don't want to hassle with it right now. Thanks

Sorry, but you have to admit it was a good attention getter. Come on someone give me an estimated time that you think my car is capable of.

I think you will run a 14.3@ 97 mph with a 2.5 60' time.

First time at the track, you're gonna stink it up.

I bet you could hit 10's with the stock twins if you took that 13b-rew and put in a 1st gen that was gutted. Think so?

Not my first time to the track but first time with my FD. I know how to cut a light and I can usually get good 60' times but I am trying to get a feel for my FD. On the street I run through our 1/4 mile strip at around 108 but this is before the Power FC and the Blitz SMIC because they are not installed yet. XS is tuning the Power FC for me and I have heard they do a good job. Wheel hop is my main concern because I hop a lot on the street and I want to get some Jimlab differential bushings at some point becaus eI heard they help a lot. Anyone else have any estimated times besides 14.3, haha, if I run a 14.3 @ 97 I will sell my car to the first bidder. My 97 GSX would run a 12.2 and I eventually hope to have my FD running faster. My new RUF would run a 11.6 with me driving but I like my FD better. Wait a sec. ... I don't have a RUF, that damn contagious lying, will it ever stop.

I wanted to go but the motor is not in the car I blew the motor recently running out of oil, don't ask. I had to replace both rotors, all three plates which were cracked, eccentric shaft (which the rotor bearings were welded on to) just to name a few. The housings and Apex seals were perfect thank god !!!!
I will be out soon. The Pettit ecu is gone and the haltech is in. That was tony that ran the 10.8@115MPH. He actually let off when he hit 4th gear, he thought the car was detonating.
Hes gonna go great this year with the T78. he just installed it.

It was an HKS AIC, really simple setup that controlled 2 injectors that were mounted in a Greddy elbow. Very simple setup.

that is what i was planning on running, but many people on here claim that elbo is a joke. they were saying that the rear rotor would run lean by design.
i am going to be plumbing them into the runners and maybe use 2 stock 550's. what size are you running?

Oh My God! What an idea! I can't believe I didn't think about going ot the track to race and get an estimate for my times. That is one hell of an idea. My little sister had the same idea but she said if I don't like my times the first pass, then to just try and crash my car on the second pass. You two share a lot in common, how old are you, she's 9. JK. I'm just trying to see what other people with mods similar to mine are running to see what my car is capable of, not exact times of what my car will run down to a gnat's ***. That is why I want an estimate. If people can run 12.7 with these mods and I run a 13.7 or some **** then I want to be like WTF or if I run a 12.7 then I can be happy because my car is performing close to it's potential and so am I. I've seen people with my mods and a midpipe running low 12's so am I way off hoping for mid 12's?

So..... Why wouldnt you run the car first then find out what its supposed to be at? I mean come on, some people can drive and some cant. You cant base what your car "should" do based on other peoples driving cause frankly, I have seen a ton of **** drivers and I would never base what my car is supposed to do based on other peoples results.

BTW, my previous statement was pure sarcasim if ya couldnt tell
