what kind of 1/4 should I expect.....

going to a track soon whenever I replace my knock sensor and going to dyno as well....any idea of what to expect:

5spd 95 max SE
y pipe, cat, b pipe, muffler, udp, mevi, ecu, intake...

provided I get a good 60 foot mind you...say a 2.2/2.3 or so

by the way...would a small exhaust leak after the cat cause a huge performance drop? or even a bad cat?

on street tires, not slicks!!! I am just asking for an average on street tires, in other words I know this is a tough question to ask cause there is tons of variables...but I would like to know guys with my mods are getting at the strip....

you can't really guess to this question with a straight answer...


But if i were to guess maybe 14.7-14.0 depending on car and driver.

well considering a 2.2-2.3 60' and a average reaction time, which stipulates a pretty decent launch....I have a sts as well....but in either case, I just want the average for all my mods listed above....

Well, I don't know about in the 13seconds, but I have a y-pipe, and 2.5" b-piping and my first time down the track I ran a 15.51@92.7mph. That is pretty good. With the MEVI and UDP, you ought to at least get in the low 14's. I would guess that mzmtg is on that border....it could happen.

All I am saying is not to be too disappointed when you don't make a run in the 13's.

Definitely 13.6

If you don't do that, there's something wrong with your car.

nealoc ran a 13.6 on slicks I think....there's no way I'll run a 13.6 on street tires albeit they are grippy 235's....but still, not gonna happen...

maybe closer to ceasar...before his headers...lol

anyway one other question, what kind of 1/4 mile times are guys seeing with ghost knock sensor codes and then after replacing 'em? in other words how much does a ghost 0304 add to your 1/4 mile time for most maxima guys....and then after they replace them what kind of drop do they see?

Go in with low expectations that way you won't be disappointed, and if you do better then that's great. I'd say anything 14.4 or lower and you are doing ok, anything slower than that and you might have a problem, either with your driving or with your car. If you go to the track on a really hot, humid day you might only be running 14.5s or something.

Well don't rub it in I've had this MEVI/JWT ECU combo for nearly 1.5 years and have only gotten a 14.40. Shoot, I've been racing this car for nearly 3.5 years too

Yea but your track sucks and is at high elevation. He's in NJ so he's got a significant elevation advantage and good tracks nearby.
