13.82 @ 101 with 5speed OZ on slicks

 

oh yeah what kinda stuff do you people have done? like how much could i expect with an auto and the rrm intercooled kit?? thats my main question i am still interested in what other people are running. if you don't really wanna list mods beyond turbo just say how much boost your runnin please. i would like to think this thread could benifit people to compete for the best lancer

 

Just check out there registry, should have everything there. I think Boe almost has $10,000 worth of mods?

 

10K in mods?! Sorry man props to your car and all but if I was to spend 10k in aftermarket stuff I sure to hell hope I was getting better times than that.

 

Try taking a car that starts in the 17's and get it into the 13's without gutting or taking comforts like the AC out. My car is a daily driver family compact that eats people up all day long. I fuc@ing really hate as@holes that come on here saying shi@ like that. EWWW my gst goes faster for cheaper... yeah we know. Still not the point. Get lost.

HCtunner i was running at 9psi with mods to support that. If your in an auto w/stock internals i'd say your looking at high 14's. The auto will cause you some drawbacks and limitations. More than likely you'll be sticking to a max of 7psi boost. That and wheel spin will kill your ET's. Maybe on good tires you could get close to mid 14's. That being said remember most races start from rolls... like you roll up next to them or vice versa. Unless there's a light you often go from a role. On a role tire issues are really non-existant so you'll be hella fast. You'll smoke stock GT's i'm certain of that. Hope you go turbo... you won't regret it!

 

14.2 (forgot trap speed) burning out first and second @ 8 psi 5-speed.....grip sucks...and thats with 300 pounds of crap in the trunk. need a new clutch and LSD with slicks and i'll be much much much much faster.

 

That is great Z... put in the lsd and get some slicks. You'll find you'll be in 13's no problem... Hell ya may be faster than me?? NAAAAA!!

 

just wait boe juuust wait!

 

What ever guy! With 10K in mods man I'm just saying, thats spendy! No need to get all testy about it. Thats alot of cash to drop but I also don't really know about building up a Lancer. I gave you props on your car there so calm down. No one even mentioned a GST going faster for less in this thread so whats your point with that comment? I could pick up a slow stang and drop a S/C for less than 10k and pull better times than that. Thats alot of cash does that include rims and stuff or is it in the motor alone. If combined I could see you spending that much money. Next time don't get your panties all in a knot there guy. No one denied you werent fast. Obviuosly you have the title....and by the way no need to name call, grow up.

 

Obviously alot of people on here are not true compact lovers. It is very gratifying to take a car made for everyday use and turn it into a car that can smoke alot of the faster cars on the road. More so then to buy a mustang and throw a few g's into it and make it hit 13's in qtr. You must have a true love for your compact to spend the kinda money Boe has spent. I admire him and what he's done with his oz. I plan on doing the same thing to my oz by end next summer. For those of you who don't understand why we do it, you never will.

 

Exactly!

 

I tend to agree. It's a lot to spend in mods. It's also a mark I'm quickly approaching. It's easier to get there than you'd think though. At any rate, to each his own.

 

that and i think the frustration was not aimed at you personally but at the multitude or responses that Boe gets everytime he posts about his car people just pick and choose cut downs and blast him. i agree 10K is alot but it is his cash not yours so I say to each their own and I hope to be one of them someday.

 

See I think you guys get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with taking a slow car and making it respectible. 13's out of the puny lancer, now that is good. I think the guy here just took a little offense to my "that much money coment". I by no means was trying to be degrading. I have been around the scene for quite a while and and I do love imports. Maybe because the lancer is new that it why it costs so much to get to these types of times and that is why there are so few. I have just seen N/A eclipse's with the "neon motor" 420a that have spent only 3k and are hitting these types of times once going the forced induction route. They too are daily drivers and are not gutted as "Boes" lancer and on street tires the were clocked in the 1/4 mile at 11.70. They are completely stock save for an upgraded exahust and clutch. So this would also apply to the dodge neon/PTY cruisers. I was just shocked when I saw that price tag. Meaning alot of cars are just doing this for less. So no offense there boe I apologize if I came off wrong.
