Making NA history March 11th

Making NA history March 11th
well it is my first attempt anyway. March 11th, with Ben's help, will be the first running of my stripped/all track 4th gen.
Here is a quick rundown of all mods.
ACT stage 1 or whatever they call it clutch.
Custon ram air intake with POP charger and oversived K&N filter.
Budget Y pipe.
Straight 3" exhaust dumping into axle compartment.
RVM UDP
Racing fuel cell (most likely won't be in by the 11th)
26" MT slicks.
EXTREME weight reduction.
I have several goals. My first is to be the first 4th gen in the 13's with stock ECU.
Second, to be the fastest NA 3.0 4th gen.
Last to be the fastest NA 4th gen.
Not trying to call anyone out, but competition breeds progress.

I don't think you have anything to worry about there. After Ben and I did the first round of weight reduction we took the car out and it was pretty nasty. I am looking for a high 13 the first time out to tell you the truth.

Seems like you're just relying on stripping the car to make it fast. 3" won't be helping, and it must be annoyingly loud. Do i smell a CRX/Maxima?
Have you weighed the car? What altitude/track will you be running at?

What's the point of racing with a family sedan unless it's for the sleeper kick? I suggest you follow the examples of krismax and japmax, where wild weight reduction and lots of power coexist with full interiors...

Good. But a very short 3" exhaust will have no exhaust velocity. You might be able to get away with this if you ONLY run in a very high rpm range (where a 3" shortie exhaust "might" resonate) but I highly doubt it. I hope you don't bog anywhere on the launch or shifts.
I do wish you luck on the 11th. Let us know how it works out either way.

Sorry, I thought you ran all your 13's with a JWT ECU.
I did not mean to misspeak.

My first 13 was with stock ecu. I ran a 13.999 on slicks. After that the season ended and the next spring I had ECU so I never ran with stock ECU again. It was barely a 13, I cut it as close as you can hehe.

I believe the first goal is void, as it's been done before.
The second and third goals may be quite difficult, given your limited power mods. Possibly quickest 3.0 4th gen, but others with more power will most likely be faster.

yeah well, I am just trying to make myself feel important.
Honestly when 3.5's started to show up in 4th gens it formed different categories. I don't want to be put up against them just yet.
