Going to E-town on Sunday

So what kind of numbers do you guys think I should expect, My mods are Injen and HS Headers. Last year I ran a best 14.8@94 mph Bone Stock. Do you think low-mid 14's are possible. BTW: I'm on stock wheels.

yup. Those headers alone will put you at around 265-270 hp and probly around 280 torque. With a half decent launch (2.25 60' time) you should be around 14.4's or better. My mods put me at slightly less power than you (estimated) and I was pullin 14.4's and 14.5's last week on my stock tires and I'm an auto (you didnt say if you were 6 speed or not). BTW, if you are an auto make sure you do the drop resistor mod at the track, it makes a significant difference!

Thanks

bigdo26- I have the auto, hopefully I can get to the low 14's, E-town is one of the better tracks.

Ya I think you'll be in the low 14's. You'll definatly be trapping in the high 90's, like 96 or 97 I would think even if you dont get good launches. I'm interested to see the results, as I'm planning on those hotshot headers this summer.... WOuld like to see what kinda numbers you'll put up with a mostly stock car plus headers/intake (those are your only performance mods, yes?)

Yup, those are my only performance mods, these HS Headers are the real deal, I used my brothers car(2002 330i Auto/ Intake only) as baseline testing. Before I had these headers my brother and I would be about dead even from 40-100mph run. Now I consistently pull on him pretty good, 2-3 cars worth, so top-end has really improved with these headers.
