No, I wasn't talking about the 99's, either. The GT's are slow. I see dozens of them at the track every time I go and none of them are running better than 14.5. :down: Most of their drivers circle my car like buzzards in the pit lane wondering how the hell my 2.0L can get away with wearing a 13.35 dial-in time. :whip:
I think you might be trans-muxing the SVT or Cobra Rustangs. Those are the only ones I've seen break a 14. They're all just as ugly, so they're pretty easy to confuse.
I didn't mean to say that a turbo'd civic can't run faster than a 14, they can. Just that I haven't seen a streetable one really do it yet. Your car is an exception to what I've witnessed, and I bet you've put all kinds of work into it. It takes time and practice to run that fast. What did it run when you first bolted your turbo kit on, and how long have you spent tuning it since then?
I definetely agree with you...i had my turbo kit on my car about a year now. When i first slapped it on with a fmu @ 5.5-6 psi it was nowhere near as fast as it now. Other than an exhaust and safc i don't really have any other mods though. I went with the dsm 450's and AFC and had some dyno time to eventually be running the times i'm running now. I do see a ton of 6 psi greddy sohcs that are still probably in the high 14's range.
