  • I'm looking for something to push me into 14s

    I'm looking for cheap things i can do to put my car into the high-14 second range in the 1/4. I have a couple of ideas so far:

    1) whisper lid: any ideas of how this will improve my trap speed/overall et?

    2) Ignition mods: any suggestions for ignition mods are welcome, I've heard its a fairly inexpensive way to get some hp.

    3) If anyone could give me a link to some inexpensive drag tires that would be great.

    Don't know what the gains are on just the whisper lid, but my friend gained 1.5 - 2 mph when he added the SLP underchin ram air to his intake (he already had a lid).

    Also, I have no experiance with the Nitto's, but I know that the BFG Comp T/A DR's are good tires. You can mount them on 15x7 thirdgen wheels and they will clear the rear discs on 4th gens.

      I'd skip the tires...

      get soem sort of intake if you can...

      next...

      gears, driveshaft, lsd, and whatever to make sure the car is running perfect... all helpful.

        I have gears and lsd: what kind of results would I see with a driveshaft?

        EDIT: 3.42s with an Auburn.....

          If all you want is good et's at the track, go with the lid and sticky tires. You only need 4 tenths [img]smile.gif[/img]

          Maybe an exhaust cutout too...

          Ignition mods on n/a applications not necessary.
