That turbo kit he's got does add about 75 hp to the wheels (assuming he has the intercooler) so eh, it'd probably be in the 14's. It's still not a 14-second car unless it's actually run a 14-second e.t.

No intercooler, and I don't think you'll trap that high. But hitting the rev limiter on boost is NOT good.

run it down the track and wring out 3rd as much as you can, but dont bounce it off the limiter. if you find yourself at the very top of 3rd and still before the finish line, launch higher and run the gears out as fast as you can.

:werd: I also say shift that bish into 4th but I doubt you'll hit 96mph.

I was trapping 98.xmph at 13.93. This was with crappy stock tires. My friend traps 100.x at 13.85 with wider/sticker tires.

We each put down 225hp at the rear wheel on a 3100lb car (full wet weight including driver)

Only 14s with a Turboed Civic? I've heard of cars just like mine with my setup running 14s N/A just the way it is. I would think Turboed he would be good for high 13s. Unless his car weighs a lot but it doesn't have giant wheels or a system or anything that it seems. :dunno:
