What Would It Take To Get In The 13's

BTW, when i had these mods:

11psi controlled by MBC
MSD 8.5mm wires
2.75" Cartech DP
HKS 80mm catback
Dummy second cat
K&N drop in replacement filter
Bosche BOV (doesn't add HP)
All backed by an cheapie Autozone $99 special clutch set.
Stock CT26 sitting on that restrictive stock elbow.

I was running a consistant 14.20's. MPH was ranging from 99-101...... depending on weather conditions. short times were still a crummy 2.1 - 2.2 on street tires. the same DSM friend of mine let me run on his slicks. it was the last run of the night, so i was only able to make one pass. warmed up the slicks pretty good. i dumped the clutch at around 5000RPM and instantly hooked. car bogged a little becuase lack of low end torque, but still managed to pull off a 1.9 60ft time. speed shifted into second without any wheelspin. then dumb ass me missed 3rd gear.

got it back in gear as quick as i could. ended up running 14.08xx. had i not missed 3rd gear that would have been an easy 13.9 pass, and possibly 13.8 or quicker.

on street tires i would usually get alot of wheelspin coming out of first, and a then some in second gear. those sticky slicks really planted the wheels to the ground, and i felt the car pull alot harder down low. if you have some friends with a set of stickies that fits your car you might want to try them. their known to chop your e.t.'s by .5seconds versus street tires. good luck and let us know how you do.
