Default fully bolted?

what does a fully bolted, automatic trans, with a 60 wet shot run in the 1/4

i have all my suspension done right now im working on the body, I wanna know if it would be worth it to even touch the motor. I also auto x / i also go to the strip some times just need a little more of a kick out of the corners

(i dont need any of this do a turbo...do a k swap if i do any of these it will be in a couple o years)

thanks guys

Well, I don't think you can Kpro an auto ECU, I've never heard of anyone trying that before.

And for your question about the motor. Basic bolt-ons will barely give your car a boost. Our D17's doesn't respond well to them. If you really want some power, I'd suggest you turbo the car and I recommend you swapping the auto to a manual.

In order to run K-Pro, you would need two ECU's. One manual transmission ECU for the K-Pro, and one for the automatic transmission. Considering it'll cost you $1,000 just for the K-Pro... this is not a very wise choice for the 5-10whp you'll gain with bolt-on's and a proper tune.

You're at no significant gain, unless you go turbo/nitrous/K-swap, so I would say a 16 second quartermile would be about all you could muster in that car.
