Default how to get into 13s

i ran 14.5 - 14.6 on my ek sedan with b16a, its pretty stock, except for the b16b pistons and cams, toda cam gears, jdm type r headers with full exauhst 2.25", cold air intake, on advans ad07...

60ft = 2.3
et = 14.52
mph = 94.7

what other 'bolt-ons' can i get to lower my ETs? oversizing pistons is out of the question for me...vafc? bigger cams? type r intake manifold? budget is $1000 more or less...thanks

Get a set of drag radials or slicks.
Or buy a good header (AN-R or somthing not mass produced like DC or Greddy)
Intake Manifold (skunk2, Type R (similar to sk2)
Maybe a set of cams, but then you'd want to tune them

for everyone who is saying cams, you need to read the entire post thoroughly. B16B cams are Type R cams. There are actually some little tricks that you can do to your motor that are comletely stock and inexpensive, slicks are your best bet to lower your times.

A 2.0 or lower 60' will get you into the 13's period! Get some Lenso's(13x7.5) and some M&H (22x8x13) slicks and you'll be there.

Go with full slicks the wheelhop caused from semi-slicks will be alot worse on your axles than actual slicks.

I'll second that. I had the yokohama'a on my b16 hatch and it went 14.70's(wheelhoop like crazy). Then I got the BFG's and it went 14.40's (slight whelhop still). Then I got some 20x7x14 slicks and she went 13.90's. You can see the difference from tire to tire. Get slicks. D/R's are a waste (IMO of course)
