Greddy Turbo 1/4 mile times???
I know this will be a biased question but, what is the average time for an 8 to run the quarter in being completly stock except for adding the turbo? Any by adding the turbo really add a HUGE seat in the pants effect?? Thanks, Nick

I don't think there are a lot of people that have JUST the turbo, and have dragged it. I'd guess low 14s, maybe high 13s with no other mods. The turbo makes a huge difference because you actually have some nice torque afterwards.

Thanks for the info guys. I used to have a 04 cobra that ran mid 11's. I was just wondering how much the Greddy helped. Looks like im going to need more than a turbo huh?

Charles R. Hill is looking to do a Direct Port Nitrous setup (read his threads) about 125+ hp jets. Along with some drag tires, you might get into the low-mid12's, but 11's would most likely incorporate a 20B 3 rotor swap.

My local drag strip is at 6000ft elevation and is VERY slick. I have real trouble locking-up there. I'm running street tires BFG KDW2's. I've only been to the track twice so I suck as a driver. My 60ft times are on the order of 2.5 seconds - shameful.... My best times are in the low 14's (14.3 or so IIRC) at about 100mph.

The suspension on this car simply isn't set up to make it a 1/4 mi machine.
I'll bet you couldn't get it into the 10s with 500 WHP without SERIOUS suspension mods, & that's just silly for a 2900 # car.
I like it just fine with power + handling, thank you very much.
