what do you think will need to be done so far i have a k&n intake on its way a injen axleback also on its way and a nx efi import kit is going to be ordered soon im going to go with a 75hp shoot im hoping with the nitrous this will be at leaset 200hp to the wheels what else should i do to try and make this thing run mid 14's or do you think this will do it?

im not realy expecting big gains from the intake or the exhaust there just there mostly for noise but the injen should be 5hp to the wheels from a dyno i saw earlier and the intake is only being put on so i can not have to ruin the factory one when i add the nitrous

Ok with a 75shot you should be in the low 14's thats if you knw how to drive. Mid to High 13's with slicks. I owned a 98 prizm with a 75 shot and ran a 13.9 on slicks lol. Hit me up on aim to check the vid out. opticalillusioon

1st off. stock tc runs 15.7. so getting to mid 14s isn't difficult. (2) if you gotta run nitros for 14s.. you shouldn't be worried about tunning period

^ im only going with nitrous becosue its cheap and easy to do what would you suggest that i do i dont want to change the compresion ratio on the car to make it a n/a but i also dont want to drop the 3k for a turbo this seems easy and cheap so im going this route if this will get me to run low 14s then im going to go with it. its only going to 1k for everything im not realy a "tuner" i do alot of spl comps and work mainly on stereos i just want to be able to go to the track with my friends who are big into this kind of stuff so i can have fun to

i/h/e ,better tires, weight reduction and learning how to drive will get you close to your goal

15.7 and 15.6 i have seen in publications. Depending on driving conditions and skill. Cudos to yah on your 15.5 run. To get the tC in the 14's aspiration, tires, and suspension work along with some practice should be all yah need. getting the aspiration done should be around less than 1k. (I am just going with the general pieces Headers, Intake, Exhaust. Not the fuel ratios or anything of that nature) Getting Nitros with out any other mods to your vehicle is not a good idea in my opinion. Personally I'm not a fan of the bottle. But if i were to use it. I wouldn't without forged internals. Just to be safe. If you are gonna put the money into your car. Make sure you aren't putting the noose around your own neck and have your car blow something because you wanted to impress some friends.

dude lay off the n20. You dont need it to get to the 14s. n20 imo is for people that cant make power with mods. build up the car first......then throw on n20. i/h/e, udp, cams, weight reduction, flywheel, clutch, lForced induction and learning how to drive with it all......you looking at 13s then you throw on the n20 and get in the 12s!!!!!!!! but hey you could be that one guy running around saying i run 14s but cant back it up when the bottle runs out! not trying to blast ya or anything just pointing things out and just remember......it cost to play!
