Thread: Build me a 13.5 car

Right now I'm sitting at a modest 14.3 with a 2.065 60' on bald street tires. Would like to get to a solid 13.5 on street tires if possible but may end up grabbing a cheap set of nittos or comparible price drag radials.

The transmission is built enough to handle the extra power so no worries on that. Also the torque converter has been bumped up around 500 or so RPM (Can't remember exactly what he put in but the numbers were supposed to be around 500 to 750 higher than stock and it feels like it)

Current mods thus far.

3.4 MPS (Scanned at the drag strip and .1 degrees knock at the top of 2nd gear)
Intense Racing PCM
3 inch Catless Downpipe
104's
180 thermostat
DIY Cold air intake with 4 inch tubing
I'm sure I'm forgetting something

Also planning on picking up Speed Daddy headers this fall but the rest will be over the winter

After the mods I'll have it dyno tuned

Also don't have the money for intercooling.

So lets hear some opinions.



Trapping pretty consistanly around 94 to 95mph

cam.

He says he doesn't have much money...

I say put the headers on, get meth injection...put on a 3.25" and get a good launch...with a custom tune it'll be mid to low 13's if you can drive it.

well then do rockers.. only like 300 bucks

oh nick he said money for intercooling

I'm a decent driver IMO. Busted a 2.065 on bald street tires. But I have a lot of room to improve on.


With meth, do I need a tune right away or is it okay temporarily with a standard pcm tune from a vendor?

Also a cam would be nice but not sure that'll havppen this year.

Throw your headers on and get a set of rockers with a new tune. That'll help you out a bunch right there.

do your headers some 1.9 rockers and smaller pully and get a in car tune
