Post How much faster is a TL with headers,intake,exhaust

I would estimate it to shave about half a second off of the 1/4 mile, but i could be wrong.

Danny from this board and I are going to meet up after he's back from his trip. We're going to be testing out our cars to see how much I can gain on him with my mods. I don't have the full CAI but I do have the Comptech air filter. His car is stock except for springs/sways.

I'm sure I'll be posting results on here.

I'm hoping to be able to race a stock TL at the Englishtown meet on the 29th. I have I/H/E and soon....Denso Iridium plugs.

I'm thinking zero to sixty in low 4sec

Maybe after I put the new cam in...and S/C

0-60 km/h? or 0-60 feet?!?!?!?!

Damn..... 0-60 miles in sub 4 seconds is for Lamboghini, Ferrari F40/F50, Prosche 911 Turbo and some other exotics. Even M3 and M5 are just under 5 sec.......

Opps......... 0-60 in 4 minutes you meant... just j/k......

So now all the sudden you're gonna start taking me seriously.

I don't think with I/H/E, cam, Shyne's magic spark plugs, supercharger, NOS.....you're gonna get low 4 second 0-60.

And if you did, it'd only be one time.

Boom goes the tranny (sung to Pop Goes the Weasel)

Hahahahaha <4 seconds for 0-60 is supercar exotic territory

<4 seconds for 60' is absolutely awful. We should be ashamed to put down anything over 2.4 Especially modded, we should be in the 2.2-2.1 range.

Hey man..... I was only joking okay....... But I would be damn happy if our TL can do sub 6 sec with I/H/E + Super charger. If, that's if the tranny can hold up. Of course anything is possible with NOS, but I don't think our tanny can take that much amoung of power in the long run. But damn... sub 14 in 1/4 mile for our TL with NOS is already impressive to me....

Anywayz, I just wanna say sorry if I sound offensive at all. Cuz, I was really just joking.....

Not problem SL1200MK4, I knew you were joking.

You're right about the tranny. Someone on the CL board heard an Acura tech say that the tranny is good for another 100hp no problem. He thought the S/C would be a good choice because the power is constant, as opposed to NOS.
