1/8th mile race, stock vs I/H/E, have results!
Here is a vid from last night at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Every other friday they hold an 1/8th mile track event. The turnout is always nice. This particular event had anywhere from 200-300 racers and three times that amount of spectators.
Anyway,
A buddy of mine and I went heads up a couple of times to compare a stock tc to a moded one.
He has (and he can correct me if i'm wrong) a K&N CAI, Alphawerks Headers, Zpi S pipe and a Megan Racing axle back exhaust on Pirelli tires. He is on the left
I am bone stock...

Reaction times were fairly close but my 60' was 2.49 to his 2.65 (he was trying a different launch)
I felt him start to pull near the end of 2nd gear and into 3rd. This run he won by a length, if that.
Our next run was a different story...
with Reaction and 60' times being near identical,
He easily pulled me into 3rd and took the race by 2 lengths.
I ran a 10.47 on both runs @ 69 mph
He had a 10.46 and then a nice 10.19 @ 71 mph
This was so much fun and it gave us a great chance to see what the cars can do with everyday mods. Personally, I think that $1500 worth of mods such net better performance but this was only an 1/8th track and he clearly would have destroyed me in the quarter...

he should learn how to drive.. with exhaust, new tires & s-pipe I could hit a 9.4-9.6 easily.
here's some runs with intake & header only on stock tires:
