i have never seen a stock one run 13's and i have seen alot of them run! i will tell you my exact set up when i was barely beating them... full exhust,cai,70mm tb and egr spacer, and timing set at 13 that is it.... of the line they would get me. if we where at a roll 40+ i would get them.... there is a big diffrence between me and the "honda guys at school" i'm telling them truth.. mabe out there they are running 13 but hear in CA i have never seen them run 13's stock
