1/4 with these mods

I was doing some searching and i found that in order for our cars to actually hit the tested "14.5" 1/4 time they lauch around 7500 almost so i was thinking with these mods how much would the time change if launched lower

intake , exhaust , ltd flywheel, short shifter , ecu flash , and some good tires

thanks!

With all that, you might get away with a 5000rpm launch. But if you're running for best-time, do whatever it takes, else why bother.

I assume you mean "to land low 14s without dropping the clutch from so high".

And that's the million-dollar question. And whether or not you consider 14.4 to be a "low-14".

If you're talking 14.0 or 14.1 naturally-aspirated you're talking about a lot of luck combined with probably more N/A mods than we even have available now. You're gonna need to gain a food 50hp to get that low.
