My friend keeps telling me that it will be easy to hit 15's with these mods:
Secret Cams
2.3l Intake manifold
2.3l TB
Intake
Borla exaust
Underdrive pulley
B&M Shiftplus
Carbon Fiber hood (just weight reduction, although with my kit it probably evens out)
and I am thinking about puting some grippy tires on my stock 15" steelies for the track, my 18's are not that heavy, but the stock 15's I think are a little bit lighter.

I tell him that theres no way, but he won't have it, I have the auto tranny. Tell me what you guys think

yeah you'll get into the 15's. how far i couldnt tell ya. possibly mid to high 15's. the auto tranny doesnt waste a significant amount of power so you'll be ok, especially with the B&M. be sure to post some slips when you hit the track

it is possible at close to sea level. but being you have the body kit which add more downforce onto the car then i would say 15.8-15.9 would be probably the best you could do.

Rev i hope you can do it it would be cool to see you do it but look at it like this.
the guy i race with bought springs S/C before he added it to it the best he would get was a 15.9 16.0 and that was with a V-6 no mods.
i am sure it can be done but i am thinking you might need a little more than what you have done already. some people do suprise others

yeah, hopefully i will be able to keep up/ pull a stock v6, but well see. And look at it like this, if this doesn't get me into the 15's Ill just have to mod the motor more, I WILL hit 15's by the end of summer

i keeped up and in some cases pulled v-6 even with little modded v-6 with my car last year. so this year should put me over the top so i would say with those mods you would be right there with the v-6.
