I have a few mods, but dont really care to sink a lot of money into upgrading anymore.

Cams
Ported head and matched intake manifold
Titanium valve springs and retainers
Ported TB
JE pistons 9:1 Comp
1g rods
ARP everything
660cc injectors
AFPR
255lph Walbro
S-AFC
14b turbo
punishment racing FMIC
ACT 2100
Fidanza flywheel
AGX struts
Eibach springs

I bought the car with most these mods. I really just want a fun street/drag car before moving on to my next project.

Anyone feel as though I would have any problems running 12's with this setup, or atleast trapping 105+mph?

That's definitely enough mods. If you are tuned right, you can pull those numbers. It may take some practice at the track though. (If you don't drive good at the track already)

one of the tracks that I hit the left lane has more tac on it than the right lane every time!

It is also the lane that eats cars LOL
 
Ive tracked a few cars. I took my 350z to the track pretty religously last year. Im just worried about hooking up. My track is pretty fair, and prepped well at the right events. I just know I would need atleast a 2.0 60' or so, because Im not all that convinced Im going to trap anything spectacular.
 
12's is easy with that setup! I ran 12.8 at 105 with slight difference to your mod list, a horrible 60ft. time (lite up all 4 tires in first gear! )and a crappy tune( running a little lean on top end).
12's is extremely attainable with your mod list and a good driver. Have fun!
 
Ya, I would love to get a nice set of wheels and nice tires. Im just not entirely sure how much money I want to spend on this.

I really would like to buy my next project car. Its going to be a S13 240sx, with an RB25. I really want to build it. I think it will compliment the GST because its a little older, but the complete opposite of what the GST is also.

Also brand you the name traitor!!!
 
I got 12's on a 16g, stock tranny, stock internals, intake and exhaust mani, stock o2. Get some sort of traction! Good luck!

Liar!!! JK.. :sneaky:we both ran 12.3 on the 16g.

A big factor is what gas you run and if you can get the weight down that will help ALOT as well. There's quite a bit of good times on 14bs.. but look at their weight ;)
 
He is a GST, so... The driver needs to be up to the task... From the sound of it, the car already is! Goodluck, and keep us posted!
 
Slicks and lsd would be nice, cause your front drive.

Yea, I dont intended on getting rid of the GST at all. I wanna have a whole collection of cool little project cars.

My GST
S13 240sx
Civic hatchback
Miata of any year really

And some more Im sure
 
I was thinking the same myself really. I think with the amount of mods my car has though, it gives me quite the edge. The car pulls hard, cant wait to go to the dyno next week, and the track the following week when it opens.
