Running Low 14's with a 3.8???

[SangersLowwFV6]

Alright, I plan to put a 80-series dual exhaust on from flowmaster, I dont want to run NOS, nor a supercharger(turbo), What can I do without going over oh say $1000 to run Low 14's or high 13's??? Is this possible? Thanks. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Cool someone from my neck of the woods. Dude, go with a full catback system. I went to Wsetern here in town to put a muffler & Cat when it went out and spent as much as a catback system would cost. That'll give you a few hP. Then a cold air kit(K&N,SLP, etc.), and other things. But you won't reach those times you want without nos or a supercharger. Check out the timeslip section and see what people are running NA. Good luck maybe I'll see you around!

Naw, low 14's are definitely possible running NA. All I have on my car is exhaust and free intake mods, and I'm running 14.9. I'd say get the muffler, get some 2.5" pipes, a high-flow cat, maybe headers, pulleys, 2800-3000 stall convertor, transgo shift kit, the normal intake stuff, and you'll outta be 14.5 or lower easy.

[Coriya71]

OK I stand corrected. But how 'bout no 13's ;)
Grdlock nice car, I'm tellin ya, you guys' newer cars make me want to trade in mine!

[GrdLock]

well, 13's would be hard to get NA, but it's not impossible. Check the timeslips page, Magnus has a 13.8 NA time... he also has a hella lotta sh*t on his car though. I'm sure you could get even lower if you bored out the engine a bit!

14.9's on engine intake / exhaust / chip / ign / etc ... 14.5, 14.3, 14,0 on torque converter, gears, suspension, etc ... go for the heads / cam and drop to 13.7's or less ... but about 4-5x that $1000 ...

You will need 6 quarts of Fairy dust and a sticker charger kit made by Type R. That should do it.

[SangersLowwFV6]

Yeah, PGriffith, just used up the last pouch of dust I had...but hey, heres a tip, I heard Toilet Paper is more areodynamic than Stickers, and can custom make your graphix with Crayons too! ;)

just make sure to wipe your butt with it first so it sticks.

[SangersLowwFV6]

Yeah...but make sure its not that sticky, then it becomes a mess at high speeds. ;)

HE SAID UNDER $1000. I HAVE SPENT $7000 AND I AM ONLY AT 14.45. MIND YOU sorry bout the caps my seats cost $1000 and my tint and alarm was another $800.

[Patrick Javert]

ok, get a whisper lid, k&n, cold/ram air kit, cat back exhaust, headers, lsd, remove maf screen, lca's, msd-dis-4, 2100 stall torque converter. i think these will get you there.

[nino]

msd-4, and 2100 (&lt;-- maybe typo) stall converter both would be a waste of money.

2800 stall TC would be a good help for your ETs in conjunction with a limited slip differential.

in essence, it usually cost money to get to 14s.

It sounds like you spent alot on non-performance mods. i think he means $1000 dedicated to performance mods.
