How hard is it to hit high 14's on a GSR?
Well in about two weeks my car will be equipped with an apex n1 cat-back, JDM 4-1 Headers, carsound high flo-cat 2.5 in. It already has an aem cai w/bypass valve (but i'm taking that out as soon as i can find something to attach my intake together with). My ultimate goal for my car is high 13's all-motor, but for now i was wondering how hard it would be for me to hit high 14's with i/h/e? I see alot of type R's posting their times but i rarely see GSR time slips. I'd be happy with a 14.9!

Re: How hard is it to hit high 14's on a GSR? (RK)
yeah i wanna go to carlsbad after i get my stuff installed. Does anyone know if you can still race if you're only 17? If so then all i need is to borrow someone's helmet and i'm there! Also, do people usually get fast times at carlsbad? Is it at sea level?

I think MrSmith hit 14.8 with intake, MAYBE header and exhaust on his GS-R after stripping some weight out. Street tires too.

I know of an LS Integra that is STS prepared that hits high 14s on slicks.
Mr. Yellowcorn's '99 Si has also run a 14.87 with just a CAI and Greddy cat back, full interior, and street tires! Sound too good to be true? He's an excellent driver with a particularly strong motor from the factory.
(They say out of every 10 motors off the assembly line, in terms of power output, 7 are average, 2 are below average, and 1 is above)
