Default IS this a good 1/4 Mile Time for what's done to my car?

This is all in my 4 Cylinder Tbird!

12.77 @ 121.63
r/t .632
1/8th 8.44
2.2 60ft on Crap *** Kuhmo's

I was running 32psi peak and I really need a Two-step!!!
Launch 3200rpms
Shift 8100rpms

I also need slicks!!! Spinning the bastards through the 1/8th it felt like!

Here's my mods.....

Turbonetics T3/T04E .50Trim Stage III .63 Exhaust
Spearco SVO Intercooler Kit w/2.5" Piping
Rod's Polished Stainless Header w/External WG Mount
Tial Sport 38mm External Wastegate w/12psi Spring
4" Downpipe w/Flexjoint & Bassani Race Cat
42Lb Low Impendence RC Injectors
EEC Tuner W/Laptop Tuner
RC Engineering Fuel Rail
Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump
Kirban Billet AFPR
D-Port Iron Head Rebuilt Ported & Polished
Gutted Upper & lower Intakes
Completely Rebearinged Rod & Mains
Pistons Reringed
Multilayer Copper Headgasket
Hallman Pro Rx Evolution Cockpit Boost Controller
3.73:1 Gears w/FMS Traction Locker 28Spline Axles
Built World Class T5 w/Spec Stage II 6Puck Clutch/Plate
Removed A/c, Front Swaybar, Interior, Partial Dash
Fluidyne Aluminum Radiator w/Flexalite Electric Fan

I think that's about it!

I need the 2step to launch @ like 10-15psi then jump to 32 or so with any rpm above 4000.
My dad said that trap speed is pretty promising

You are officially too rich to be on HMT. We now have to promote you to HondaTech were you can talk to people running tube chasis cars. They also have jdm wrist watches.

I agree with StealthMode, I am a poor kid who has to pay for every thing by working at McDonalds. But 12.7 is respectible. I still want a JDM wrist watch.

No i'm not rich by anymeans.
Just spending the last pennies of my settlement money between my 3 project vehicles

The long story short.........
I had a Crown Vic that got rear-ended by a City Transit Bus
The kicker is that the driver was drunk as hell.
No case for the city I was sitting at a stoplight minding my business. He was going 40ish I was going 0.
Major Ouch for me! Lots O' time in the hospital from the leg/hand injuries! I even have gorrey pics for your viewing pleasure somewhere!

If not for that then I'd be a regular high school graduate.
In fact the money is almost gone. That's why I just got a job @ WALMART!!! WOW! I change oil and stuff. $10.30/hour
i'm not complaining.

I didn't have to work for 3 years cause of the "luck" I had
Of course I could've been killed then had no money to spend
That's why I value life! It comes and gos so quick!

Well I guess that's the long story. Oh well.

I'm trying to make this car faster than my Mustang
Supercharged 331 the works... Except I'm partial to 4's!


SO with slicks what kind of times do u think I could cut?
The spinning pisses me off! And the 2step prob could shave a couple tenths if i'm lucky

Cool, you swapped a smaller turbo on and went faster, hehe.

The times kick *** ( the last T-couple I saw at the track ran a fastest time of 16.8 ).

With total traction and launching with boost you should be in the 11's ( and getting beat by AWD cars that run 12.5 on the street ).

I have a quick quesiton for you now... Does anyone make an aluminum head for the SVO 2.3L ?? I'm into them too.

get the launch control and some slicks....32psi peak
Doesn't your EEC tuner have that?? or check with MSD they should have a launch control box. You'll get into 11's if you drive it well.

3 project cars and now at walmart... That's why people who win the lottery go bankrupt within 2 years. You have no idea how to manage money. Beyond that, the project cars you have all the money into are worth maybe a 1/4 of what you have into them, just bad investment. If you want a cool car, fine, but the fact that you need to work at walmart because you have done anything in the last 3 years except spend money is rediculous.

And no, a 12.7 is not a respectable time for what you've done, if you knew what you were doing at all, you would have bought slicks a long time ago, since power that you can't put down is worthless. At 32 psi, properly tuned and driven, you should be hitting low 11s, of course you're going to need a cage if you want to be much faster, you should have one anyway with your luck.

Go buy slicks and a cage, have fun at walmart supporting some shitty corporate suits...
