Hate to say it if that is all can get out of the 1/4 13.37 (hell thats bretty much a 13.4) even tho your FD looks nice its as close as a FD can get to rice. I mean all show and no go. Not saying that you et is bad for a stock FD but it looks like the only place you will win a trophy is in a car show. IMHO

Apparently you are unaware of what he's actually running under the hood. Maybe he will enlighten you, as it's far from stock

If I remember right it's a T51? There are a lot of people that don't know how to drive there cars with a larger turbo. I'm sure his trap speeds are up there and that would prove he's laying down some power.
We had a guy here in Colorado that Dynoed his supra at just about 800 hp to the wheels, but ran a 14.xx at 128MPH. He had problems with his stall and had to go through all of first gear waiting for his turbo to spool up. And this is a Turbo 350 tranny out of a chevy so it has some long gears.
And looking at the pics of the FD, if he did launch under much boost, I'm sure he would just roast those tires, giving him a shitty 60' and a shitty time.

Being honest, I'm not a big fan of kits -- but I have no shame in admitting that car will rip mine apart. It’s no dog, and you should seriously stop making judgements on a 1/4 time. It means half of ****.
Well said
