Half a second is hard to achieve with just mods. Shifting correctly is the biggest "mod" to achieve 14.5.

I'm not sure if you can do it with $300 but look into the Alpha Werks Headers or a used N20 system.

If you have a auto you should be running high 14's stock.. If you have a 6-speed you should be running lower 14's..

The best thing you can do is buy a set of used comptech headers.. Or buy the Alpha Werk headers that should get you where you want to be..

Remember in FL it's hella fucking hot with 90% + humidity. That could be affecting his times.

First time I went to the track it was with my 02 auto totaly stock, even tires. I couldn't even get a 15.5. It was more like 15.6's. My very first run was a 16.1.

Definitely get headers.


I ran a 15.2@90 stock. Then with the CAI, I ran a 15.0@92. After headers, I ran a 14.5@98.
