lol there are soo many factors that are involved with 1/4 mile times.

what chassis? weight of the chassis?
Elevation?
Driving Skills?
Suspension?
Condition of the motor?
Transmission type?
What size rim and slick?

Rough estimate? Around 200WHP. Probably more.

Definately have to do a little weight reduction. Not sure how high sacramento is. You might wanna check out a LSD of some sort for the tranny. id prolly go 22x7.5 or 8 on the slicks on a 14 or 13 inch rim. look at around 200-230 whp to throw you into the 12's

my o2.:

not possible unless you're pushing 250+whp with that weight. the integra-R is 2600 at 200 and running only 14.6. maybe at 2000 you can make it with 210-250whp.
