16.0 to 16.3 Check out the threads going on in R&C forum. A few ATs with your type of mods have been going at it.

16.3 was bone stock. I'd expect sub 16 second times with those mods


And no you shouldn't have got an MT if you wanted a fast car you shouldn't have bought a TSX period.

I need a broken record smiley.

they're practically identical from a stop. From a roll the TSX is noticeably faster.

im guessing around a 15.8 with those mods and if the conditions are right. I have all the mods you listed minus a DC header and i got a 16.1 in 80 degree humid florida weather. You must have intake + header if you get hondata in order to get the full gains out of it.

Get all those mods you listed, some better tires, and find some 60 degree weather and im sure you will be able to get around a 15.8 easy.

I'm sure you can reach mid or low 15's with much lighter wheels, better tires, and I/H/E/Hondata. The stock TSX wheels are extremely heavy.

Where in Cali do you live?
If you're close to Pleasanton/Tracy/Stockton, you might even be able to check out my ride.

I have 5AT with Injen and Hondata. I'll be putting on DC headers tomorrow.

Also don't forget about the Hondata intake manifold headshield gasket, it does work to produce lower temperatures of the intake manifold.

Once I get my headers and hondata gasket i'll track and dyno my car.

I can't find it now but I remember reading that the Mustang V6 will do 0-60 in 6.9s so you'd be in for a race. You'd have to nail your launch to keep up.
