Not a hell of a lot faster than stock. I'm terrible at estimating this sort of stuff... but I'd guess you might only save a couple tenths.

Why no header? I'd say you'd do better with MMW header/spipe, custom mid pipe and axleback. And the intake for good measure. I don't know if the crank pulley would really give you that much of a gain in time though.

What about tires?

not much faster than stock but it really depends about the driver. you could have a 10 second car but i've you have never done a drag strip before you'll run stock times.

If you are running stock tires, get new ones. I don't know in an auto, but in a manual, wow, what a difference.

new tires was a given...even with the Auto trans the stock tire suck, lol

just curious, what would/does a manual run with these mods. i ask this b/c i know a stock manual should run ~15.7 give or take....and a stock Auto runs ~16.1/16.2 give or take.

i figure if i just compare times for a manual, it would give me an idea about an auto.

thanks for the help

There are slips of 15.1 - 15.2 with header back exhaust, intake or box hack, and pulleys.

I was at the drag strip this past friday night I saw 2 tCs runnning didnt know if they were autos but im pretty sure they were. They ran low 17s .I also raced my tC with /I/H/E and a 50 shot. I ran 15.4. So maybe if get a good reaction time you could get a high 16 sec run with a stock tC.

I/H/E = you can run a 15.3 with full interior and spare of course.

(I am a standard)

Stock tC's 04-06 Rated @ 15.7 (Some people manage 15.5 stock w/excellent driving)

I recently saw a 2008 tC run 15.4 stock...

Track temperature and alot of things factor in on 1/4 times also. But if your looking to shave off time Intake+Exhaust doesnt make a difference unless you complete it with a full system + Spipe and headers ^_^

My best time as N/A was 14.95 with:
Intake, headers, exhaust, pullies, S pipe, (NT01 Tires) + Suspension

Also, one of the guys in my club somehow ran a 15.8 with his auto (only exhaust + intake lol?)

If you have I/H/E and a 50 shot you should be seeing mid 14's atleast.

Intake and exhaust do make a difference, along with everything else you said. Though Mid 14s are a stretch for a 50 shot.
