Default What to expect from these mods...

I have a 2001 GT 5 speed. Here are my mods that I have done/will be doing in the near future, and wondering what you all think it will improve over the stock 1/4 mile time of roughly 14.1 seconds...

K/N Cold air intake system
Flowmaster 40 series mufflers
catless X pipe
Diablo tune
4:10 gears

What 1/4 mile times should I expect from this setup? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Are you using the crappy canned tune on the diablo? and what are your 60 times like?

I put in the "performance" tune that the diablo predator had, and then advance the timing all the way to the right, like everyone here said to do...

id say you will prolly be able to run a 13.7-13.8 the reason i say this is because the only performance gainer you have is the gears and you wont really see anything with the intake the mufflers and tuner. also with the 4.10s you will spin more off the line. get some DRs and that will help off the line

just because you read somewhere your car can run a 14.1 don't expect it to, its alot different when you're actually at the track. With some track time you should be able to be there but if you've never been to a track don't expect awsome E/Ts and Traps.
