I'm hoping to break 13's myself soon. I'm gonna throw some pullies on and put some stickies on the rear. I think if I can get the hang of launching it, I should be able to get in there somewhere. Hopefully.

Then comes the h/c/i and I should be in the 12's with a bit more suspension work.

I really need to go to the track to get a baseline run.

ORIGINAL: 92hatchLX

I'm thinking that I will, here's what I've got and here's the modifications for this month...

What I've got...
Motive 3.90 gears
Trick Flow Street Heat intake
BBK 70mm TB and EGR spacer
MAC CAI
Pro-M 75mm MAF
MAC underdrive pullies
MAC un-equal length headers
MAC off road h-pipe
Vortex Cherry Bomb Mufflers
3 core brass radiator
185 degree T-stat
MSD cap/rotor
taylor 8mm plug wires
MSD blaster coil
TPS set and timing is at 14 degrees

What I'm getting within this month...
B&M transmission cooler
Custom Built Edge, Street Edge 3000 rpm stall converter
Possibly some sticky BFG or Nitto tires (most likely Nitto 555r's because of the treadware life)

I'm hoping low 14's or high 13's. Let me know what you guys think...

i'm running an 8.8 with less mods than you... 8.8x1.56=13.7 in the quarter.

my mods:
3.90 gear
cheap, crappy converter (the reason i can't cut better than a 2.0 60ft.)
shift kit
full exhaust (shorties, o/r x, dynomax mufflers)
u/d pulleys
no smog
ported lower intake
15 degres of timing
electric fan
K&N panel filter (stock air box)

i also have aluminum rad, 180 stat, tranny cooler and all the other supporting stuff, but i don't call it a mod.

your intake is better than mine, you have a t/b and mass air meter.

my runs were made on nitto 555r's at 17 psi. i noticed just a hint of spinning.

mine might weigh a bit less, but not enough to make a huge difference. ( i have fiberglass hood, and lightweight wheels/tires, but you have an lx)

good luck.

all you need is some drag radials and drive it like you want it to break.
you might hit a mid-high 13

You guys are getting me all excited about this. I should be ready for the purchase in about 1 1/2 weeks, I should get it installed within a week or so after that. Hope that the install doesn't take too long, or isn't too much of a pain in the ***.
