What do you think? I'm planning on running a 3 inch turbo back exhaust,20-21 psi with the stock 14b,and all the free mods,also will have race gas at the strip (110 octane)

everything else stock :D maybe i'll throw in a fuel pump!

i would think i would need to see 110 mph traps to run mid 13s in a FWD on regular street tires (205/55r16s) with the usual 2.3 60 foot time

i don't want to invest a lot of $$ in this car so i'm trying to go fast with the stock stuff...hehe
 
yeah you can its been done before......they are approaching 100% duty cycle though

there a few cars that have run 11s with 450s and plenty of cars that have run mid 12s with stock injectors
 
You'll be running race gas so the stock injectors will be fine and you'll be able to run upwards of 22 psi with the 14B on 110 octane. I ran a 13.7 @ 105 with a 2.2 60 ft time so assuming you'll get a 2.3 you'll need trap speeds around 110 or maybe a mph or two less depending on your driving and whatnot.
Also I would suggest a fuel pump..I picked up a 190lph VR4 fuel pump for $40 shipped. Granted I think the stocker has gone at least 110 but just to be safe.

pretty decent time! how much boost and what were your other mods (exhaust etc...)

wonder if its possible to ice the IC between each dragstrip pass? I've cooled the IC with water before and the mph stays consistent vs non cooling it...(obviously the stock IC heat soaks really fast due to its small nature and location)
 
the time in my sig was with 16 psi and 3 bolts loose on my turbo so i didn't even get those 16psi til 5000 rpm or so
