So I finally added OBX headers. Got my times down from 14.5 to so far a PB of 14.096 @ 99.65 mph. All I have is the headers and a test pipe. My best 60 foot is 2.201 on street tires. I am thinking if I add an exhaust I shall hit my goal of 13.9 @ 100. Just wondering who has ran a 13 sec pass with stock exhaust and no tune..??

No intake, VIAS BOP, timing advance, or spacers? Just headers and test pipe?

I know there are some here that have run 14.0's 100% stock.

thats not bad at all ...

fk it take your seats out lol gutt it ...

I do have a timing advance and Injen CAI which I switched to a short ram... I want exhaust, BOP and spacers..

But like I said 14.5 was best I got stock..

I am also in Florida where it is always hot..

Do the VIAS BOP and spacers. You'll pickup a good 20HP+. I did the BOP, GAB, and spacers and went from 14.9@92 to 14.4@95 in my automatic. You should gain even more since you're MT and have headers.

Get a 2.1 60ft, which is easily attainable on street tires, and you'll be very close.
Are you powershifting the car?

Yes I am ..


And of course today the car seems to bog under 3k rpm's...

Unbolt the main cat and run with an open y-pipe, sound like a$$ but should do the trick.

Electric Cut-Out be easier for you. So you can keep the stock sound.

Care to name 2 5.5's that did this??? Just asking...........

Anyways somebody said it earlier, take the seats out, but eh, why not just add the exhaust and get like a 101 trap? You are gonna get it anyways...

Thread should state stock cat-bact, not exhaust.


There are a few people on here that have done 13's with stock cat-back.

SR20DEN
6spd_Hayes
PlanoSER

There's also 1 feller that I know of that ran a 13.0x stock, but he really wasn't totally stock since he had lightweight SSR's, but no actual engine mods.

A 13.0x stock with just different wheels? Probably removed weight from the car too...Still that's amazing.

Typo!

14.0x. Sorry.

That makes more sense...


I was feeling real bad

14.096 @ 99.65? u bastard, i got a lot of catching up to do, lol. when did u pull this off? man u have come a long ways from the low 15s some years back, great time. so close to that 13.9!!!

3 weeks ago.. My mph dropped. I trapped 99.79 mph with a 14.2 pass....


I think I have reached my limits. And now I believe my MAF is acting up..


And besides, now I will be chasing you..

let me get my car back on the street first then we will see who's chasing who, lol. was this run with the lightweight wheels or oem?

The lightweights, I hate running with the Oem's now..

Hurry up and pick up an engine

i ran 13.999 @ 97.x with stock exhaust back in the day. y pipe, mevi, intake, slicks. my first ever 13 was my last pass of the year.

in my 6th gen 6spd i ran a 13.8 on street tires, fujita intake, BOP, spacers, timing advance...

i can see how thats possible... hell of a driving though

id say w/ just a tune you can get in the 13s

Went 14.01 @ 99.77 bone stock engine, stock suspension, Goodyear all-seasons...down to the paper panel air filter. I have a partial GAB now, but have not been back to the track..should easily pull a 13.9x with the car as it is, now that I have some better tires up front..

Was that a 2.1 60'? Your time is great for a bone stock car. I'd like to see you hit 13's with as minimal changes as possible just to see what the possibilities are.

Yeah, 2.14 60 ft. I only made one pass that night..but luckily I made it count! There were a couple other .org members there and they were jokingly not happy to see my time/trap since they have modded 5.5 gens and I was faster, lol.

I would love to get back and see if I could make a 13's pass with the car as-is (I am sure I could) but the local track is closed until someone buys it. That said, I have no intention of doing anything to the car, so when it opens again I will go back. 13's are possible in stock form..I have no doubt.

I can believe under the perfect track conditions, perfect driving, and the perfect setup of a base model 6 speed, etc.

Mine is a SE, with no options at all..just the things a base SE comes with (roof/spoiler) I assume..

Mine's a GXE. Doesn't even have the spoiler. Its as base as it can be. Really wanted one with more options but it was too good of a deal at the time to pass up. If mine was a 6 speed it would be the perfect model to try for 13's stock.

I think I could drive a stock 5.5 6 speed into the 13s.
Anyone wanna let me borrow their car? lol

Come on down to Florida.. I am so close I can taste it. Luckily I still have plenty of mods to do, spacers, BOP, exhaust and a tune. But with all that I would want to be closer to 13.5/13.6..

Nice im hoping to do similar with my 6 gen. Except i will have a y pipe instead of spacers. Not too many 6 gens running fast. Especially over at my6gen.org. How heavier is the 6 gen over 5.5. 250?

It depends on the year and the equipment package but they are at the very least, 200+ lbs or more

They're quite a bit heavier.

i bet a 5.5 6spd could run 13.8s in optimal conditions.

yea since then i had a y-pipe and pulley and ran a 13.3 on drag radials....

just intalled the ebay exhaust n got tuned, so now im hoping for a 13.2 on street tires n 12s on DR

I wanna come run in Maryland or DC.. Bet that makes a difference too..

I think this is the run

I think you are not the only one . I think if I had taken the spare and jack out I would have been in the 13's.

I agree..the DA was not optimal on my pass..though it was not terrible. All that I did was fold my mirrors in, lol.

Yup, that's my pass..the only one made that night.

if only Gateway would get a worthwhile owner and open back up, I'm really wanting to run my car after the header install. Hell, maybe you should drive

I agree, it's definitely possible.
Why haven't you run your car again?
