Read it and weep, stupid people thinking they are getting big numbers. Look in the 'all motor' at the bottom.

FC3S.org (dave) is right. this forum is going to ****.

wait a minute, I had a mild street port on a 70k motor and I would toast most cars that touted high 14s, I just can't believe that list, maybe I am way off but that's what i always believed. just have to see it to believe it!

LOL that list is a joke. GLHS hit 15.3 with wheel hop and a terrible start that had him practically going sideways a month ago at the track....... and his trap speed was 98 mph I believe. he is fully capable of hitting mid to low 14s with better tires and his upcoming mods.......not to mention that his engine has 300,000 miles on it and is still stock ported.... I was there and saw it with my own eyes.

Word of advice, don't believe EVERYTHING that you read or hear.... you only know for sure what u experience first hand and then if u r a believer of the mattrix then life is just a big computer program n e way....bah I am tired and philosophical right now.... lata

AAHHHH! DRY KIT! No dry nitrous on an RX-7!!!

Welcome to my territory.... Nitrous oxide is very addictive. Both in the car... and otherwise.

I have the plan to make 210hp at least from a street ported 13b.

13bt streetported... s5 rotors
weber dcoe carbs
racing beat header
e-fan
Plz tell me that wont make 210hp at least.

Plus my fc is gonna be for the most part stripped so probable around 2200-2300lbs?

that should all add up to 13's? but Im not really concerned about that I dont care about line racing Im setting it up for autocross.

hahaha, i like that. "take the motor out and throw it away." you will then have a 13 second NA jimmy style.

FC3S.org (dave) is right. this forum is going to ****.
the only reason this forum is 'going to ****' is because we have all these non-turbo guys on here with these "big plans" to have all these 13 second NA's; not realizing that it is almost impossible to get a streetable FC into the 13 second range...

you say 13bt (the T means turbo)... are you just using the housings and making it an NA or are you using a turbo? i am assuming you are making it NA cause you said it will have a header...
um... 2200 lbs is a very very light FC. i dont think you're going to be able to remove 500 lbs of stuff out of the inside of that car my friend, but the best of luck. make sure you take off all the body panels and the hood and the hatch. thats about the only way you're getting to 2200 lbs, thats light even for an FB or SA.

Please don't say "all the N/A guys"...Its just a few idiots making us all look bad. N/As can be very fun cars, but in no way have the power potential of a 13BT. Yes, it will be difficult to hit 13s in a N/A FC...... That doesnt mean I cant try though. If I do, great, if not , oh well......

you guys are messed up a '91 na had 190 stock. you could put a street port and a header and K&N FIPK and you would be pushing at least 250 after a chip and full dual exhaust with little restrictions

No, you're wrong. 89-91 N/As had 160HP, 86-88 N/As had 148HP.

Thats total BS. My FC weights 2187 with many parts still in the car.

Could you elaborate on what exactly you removed to get the weight down to 2187, while still having many parts in the car??
