Default Aiming for mid 12s...thoughts?

ok well im currently at 13.7 @ 102...im adding a TB, some port and polish work, mild only...a Hondata IM gasket, MSD 6+...and a Zex kit running a 75shot..now my question is this, im looking at IMs and since the skunk2 one will probably never come out, my optiona re either a Euro R one or getting an aluminum one like ...RPS ect, basically the ones you see on boosted cars ect, my question os that IM too much airflow while im running without the nitrous?..with my bolt ons...im think these mods will get me to my goal..but im trying to figure out what direction i wanna go with my manifold..thanks ahead of time for any input

i am piecing together a setup similar to yours, trying to get the most power i can without opening the motor up.

Why are you going with a ZEX kit though? Why not look into nitrous express? The NXL Nozzle kit looks pretty badass...

I am also waiting for a good IM, but for some reason...i have some faith that the skunk2 im will eventually come out. I guess if it doesnt by the end of the summer i will go with the euro r.

Don't those aftermarket IMs usually eliminate the IAB?

yeah it would be kind of interesting (well...for me anyways) if you ran with a full interior, then stripped it to see what kind of results you get.

I think I have heard average figures of shaving a tenth off your quarter for every 100 pounds you drop...

The drag manifolds are usually for boosted applications... And even with a fully built motor keep in mind that the turbo's that use the drag manifolds compensate their lower end power in exchange for a little more top end power. As far as nitrous though, i would recommend having your stock IM ported.
