14' with an automatic???

I wanted to know if I would put a Y-pipe Intake Dual Exhaust(whatever) would I pull in the 14' ? Im automatic, but I would do the resistors mod?

for 14' you could probably do 1 second.

for the 1/4 mile..? possibly low 15s- that can vary a lot by driver - the only mods that would help you out of your list would be the Y pipe and intake

A VB mod should help you a bit.

well, you'd have to do the following mods:
-- y-pipe
-- CAI
-- MEVI
-- free-flowing exhaust

if that doesn't get you there, try:
-- S/C or T/C
-- removing stuff from your car
-- lightweight rims

Yes

But you will need more bolt ons like a UDP, and possibly an ECU upgrade. Put those factors in with the right launch and you've got yourself a sleeper. A few boys around here ran a mid 14 second run with there 4th gen auto.

You're in Nebraska right? That's not good because you're at 1000'+ in altitude. To get 14s, it will take AT LEAST:

Intake
Y-pipe
UDP
JWT ECU
MEVI
no spare
< 1/4 tank of gas
Low 2.2 60'

Judging from the fact that Travis (BSwithTF) runs 14.9@92mph at a similiar altitude and has all these mods plus a catback and a lighter GXE auto, I think it's going to be VERY hard to break into the 14s. That's just my honest opinion. You've got to have the right mods and A GOOD TRACK.

I'm running 15.1 with my auto. My only engine mod is a cone filter intake. I think a Y-pipe and cat-back would get me in the 14s.



You can do it.

Lose the 17s and you could hit 15.1 - .2 if you're good.

perfect your launch... intake/exhaust, I think you can break 14's... my best time before boost was 15.01 .... and i realized i was running one step colder plugs on accidnet... :-/

My buddy chris ran a 15.1 with a intake and a y pipe alone. So yes, it's feasible if you take care of the car and do a great launch
