550cc or 660cc? Safc? Tuning advice please!

[Eclipse2216]

Look, I have read a million tech articles and still do not have a solid answer to my question. believe I have been reading. But I am asking you guys for help now ,Alright here it is, I will be running a Big16gEvoIII and all supporting mods(piping, Fmic, drivetrain,3in turbo back,manifold ect....), and I have a 255 FP, I want to get in the low 12's to a 12 flat on the track.* just to smoke my Buddies 300zxTT bad, Do I need 660cc or 550cc to reach this goal with a SAFC and a AFPR*, Of course I am going with the pockelogger set-up to tune the SAFC. I need some knowledgable help here. What suggestions do guys have for this situation. I only bought the Car to build up to smoke his butt, to show him it doesn't take $1,000's to build a 12 sec car.

thanks a lot guys

Go with 660's, as a 2g you could use the extra timing.

That said, this information is out there.

low and flat 12's are harder to come by then you think, a 16g can put you there with allsupporting mods, but it might be a little harder then you think...especially with Fwd.

Good tuning, Good Driving, and Good Slicks, and 12's are within grasp,I know it won't be easy, But this is the Challenge I am prepared for.

Did you already take a look at the 2g stage 2 300hp+ tuning guide on this site?

660s, FPR, and a LSD are the things you should get. And i bet you run high 12's.... i dont think you will pull what awd cars are doing with the evo 16g in a fwd car even with slicks.

Do you plan on running DSMlink or else a PL?

If you go with DSMlink I would just go with 550s then. But if you plan on running a PL then go with a AFPR, 660s

Thanks for all the input on this, I will be pushin 660's on this car and am considering slightly larger turbo themn the Evo III. I see now I will definently need the LSD to retain traction on the FWD or just get an AWD, I am already having traction problems on the street with the
t-25. I wasn't expecting this kind of traction loss with the TSI on the street. I have an H22a Civic with more power then this and grips the road like glue. So am real courious about installing the FP , AFPR,and the Front mount now to see what happens with the Traction. But, I will install them this week and see what it does.
