With those mods I would say about 13.7 or .8. Definately not low 13s. I have just CAI and catback and I've hit 14.0s so many times. Also determines the weather factor as well.

I thought these cars (99-04) were capable of high 13's even in stock trim w/ street tires, if driven correctly and with variables (track, weather) being in one's favor. Being an auto definitely adds a couple of tenths, though. I'm going to a test & tune next month, hoping for a low 13 (13.2 or .3 maybe) if I can keep my street tires from spinning halfway through third gear. I've seen cars on Dragtimes.com with similar mods to mine running those times (allegedly). Probably a pipe dream, but we'll see.....

they are, with good track conditions, altidude and a driver who knows what hes doing, with your mods you probably could run a 13.3 or so, on a DR maybe even 12.9s?

If you can cut between a 1.9-2.0 60ft. you might get a 13.3 or so. With my mods (in sig) and running n/a my best is a 13.3 with 1.90 60ft.

So realistically, I shouldn't be disappointed if I hope for 13.5. Gonna need DR's next time I do tires; it wants to break loose (even if already planted and you don't pedal it just right) all the way through 2nd and if you're showing off it'll spin partway through 3rd sometimes with a 2-3 clutch dump. Do burnouts have much effect on street tires or does that apply mainly to DR's?

Doing a burnout on street tires does nothing for traction. It only applies to drag radials and slicks.

I don't think you will be in the 13's. With my mod list, best is a 14.06. I have tried just a quick spin to clean em off to a 2-3 second smoke fest, messed with air pressure, launch rpm, you name it, i've done it. It takes practice, even with an auto to get it right. You need a consistent launch at the right rpm. Mine works best at about 26 psi in the rear and a 1200 launch. With that I cut a 2.0x 60' which I think is damn good on stock rubber and just a quick spin to clean em off.
