quarter mile times for this setup?
AEM CAI, DC Sports Header, DC Sports TCS exhaust, AEM underdrive pulleys and an NX 55 shot with all the necessary tuning upgrades (fuel pump. spark plugs, etc...) on an EX with an average driver on street tires. 13-14 second quarter mile times seem right? Yay or nay?

Rep Power: 0 There is no way you will hit 13 seconds with that set up....
You might hit HIGH 14's....depends on how you drive. You will most likely keep it in the LOW LOW 15's....by low I am talking lower than 15.2

Rep Power: 0 Depends on your driving/shifting skills. I would say low 15's and if you know what you're doing...maybe high 14's. For 13's I would imagine a 75 shot would do the job. But be careful [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Um yes they are. They've got potential. Unfortunately most people here have neither the resources, the will, nor the skill to make it happen. No offense everyone. I include myself in this...well at least the resources part...cash dont come easily u know. But anyway, if you hate the car so much, why not get somethin else?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah grey! Damnit...gotta get everyone hyped up....and gotta get everyone some flow. Isn't it unfortunate that how fast you're gonna go usually depends on how much you wanna spend? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Haha..I am happy with my car because its faster than my 7th gen, and faster than anyone elses 7th gen with the exception of a big boost of N20. AINT THAT FAST? Faster than your 7th gen stock. Faster than a 6th gen DX, LX, EX Stock. Faster than del sol without DOHC stock. I wont even go on. I know Ive beaten 2 of the local 7th gens MODDED. I simply told him hes not happy with his car, get another one dont get your panties in a bundle

>>I'm not even gonna begin to argue with you. I understand your point. It's just your attitude comes across slightly as a Mightier than thou, at times. Then again its hard to interpret HOW a person says or means something especially on a board. LoL But um...faster than a del sol, faster than a STOCK 7th gen, faster than a 6th gen...still aint that fast. Although its somethin to be somewhat proud of when u win a race against one of the aforementioned vehicles...i understand your point there. Point taken.

Rep Power: 419 Hum... Low 14's may be possible if you have some low weight 16's on. An AEM fuel rail might help too. Not AEM pullies, but Unorthodox Racing pullies (you get all three, including the crank shaft pulley). Manual transmition of course, some really sticky tires, lowered to decrease the aerodynamic drag, camber kit to get all that tire to the ground. I think low 14's are possible with that setup. Bottle warmer for the NX kit might help too.

Rep Power: 367 15s definitely. I guess u can land somewhere in the 14s too if u can drive great... high 14s? mid? I'm not really sure.
be easier if u replace the stock tires, get some things with better traction, that'll definitely help.
launching technique matters too.. what makes a good time are the first 60 ft.
