No tune, HKS Catback exhaust. And okay I would say I'm a pretty good driver considering I could get my 350z better times than avg.

So yeah, what do you think?

This is not a bench racing forum, but rather a drag racing forum. There is no reason to have a cat-back and intake but no MBC or tune, so I wouldn't expect you to do well. We can't answer your question, because we don't know the condition of your car. Considering the way you've decided to mod it, I would expect you not to do well. No experience with AWD launches will probably kill your times.

I ran 13.17 @ 103.89 completely stock in my 05 MR, so there's your frame of reference.

Well the reason why I have no tune yet is because my headers & downpipe aren't here yet. It will be tuned when everything is installed. I can launch pretty good, i'm just asking what do you think the best an almost stock EVO 8 MR would run in the 1/8th?

We don't have headers, and you don't need to be tuned for an exhaust manifold or downpipe anyway. You shouldn't have put on the intake without a tune.

I gave you a time to shoot for.

*header

I just haven't got the tune yet, i don't get the big deal. All I asked for was a likely time that I should be expecting tomorrow at the track.

The big deal is bench racing is lame, and it's dumb to add those mods without a tune. A tune alone would give more power than both of those mods combined.

Go out and do it. No one can tell you what you should expect. I gave you what's possible in stock form. If you want me to guess, I'll guess you do 13.5 @ 101.

Uhm, see you're missing the whole question. No one has answered me yet, not a 1/4th..a 1/8th.

And no crap, i'm getting a tune soon..I'm not just going to get the parts and not tune it. I'm waiting to get all the parts, tuned then dyno'd.

you're cool.
