a close friend of mine with a similar setup to yours ran a 14.2 @ 98mph with a 1.9 60' time... he was thinkin he was all badass when he came around, then I ran a 14.1 @ 100.5 with stock gears and less mods... not to mention my 2.3 second 60' time... he shut up real quick.

If you can get traction... youll be looking at 13's

you should've let your friend take your car down the track, he would've probably got a 13 out of it

This car has a poor man's single turbo kit that I built (had a friend weld everything though). I sold it to this guy who is a friend of mine. He has TFS TW heads, Spyder intake and a C4. It's a 200+k mile stock shortblock and he lauched off the foot brake. The kit uses some nice parts though. I bought everything new either from group purchases or monthly sales from vendors. I spent all summer (2005) finding parts cheap to have it built last winter. It is a Master Power T70, Tial WG & BOV, 24x12x4 I/C, all V-band clamps, flex coupler and BBK u/e shorty headers that were flipped. I had about $1700-1800 in everything.
