Nope. High 14s would be my prediction.

High 14s at best. High stall torque converter will really help, much more than a VB.

hmmmm

a 60-65 shot could actually put me in the high 13s

While racing in the track, when would I spray....at every gear?

I just dont want to go through the hassle of always filling up the bottle


now Im beginning to rethink if I shouldve gotten the ECU at all

best quarter mile would be to spray in every gear....but I do remember seeing something that you could buy where you could tell it when to start and when to stop (WOT 4000rpm's to 6500rpm's after first gear) or something like that...I don't remember where I saw it though...

Anything is possible, but I'd eat my shorts if you hit anything better than 14.5 with those mods.

Neal is one heck of a driver to do 14.5 stock with 190 hp in a 3000 lbs car, so to do 14.5 in a stock auto 3.0 would be

Those are your only performance mods that actually make a difference IMO.


More dieting( the car that is) and VI/ECU combo couldn't hurt either.

Power shift your car and you'll be in the 12s.

i have all those modds well had those on my 95 gxe auto including mevi and still lost to a 2004 tsx acura stock 5 speed and when he did his 1/4 his best was a 15.6. i doubt you will be in the 14's unless you get that ecu. thats the major upgrade that will help you and the y-pipe. i was highy upset when i lost maybe thats why i hunted that 5 speed down now im ready and i think i can even beat him stock.

no programming needed you just put in different 'pills' for whatever RPM you want it set at.

Just a suggestion if you get a window switch get the MSD 8969, its digital and doesn't require pills, you just set the on and off rpm points, very easy.

Its approx $5 more than the other type and you don't have to buy anything else or get it modified to run on a coil-on-plug setup. It has a digital display that shows RPM as well.
