You're going to have traction problems with the tires not touching the ground like that.

zerothread/310850the hi 12s part is ez... but the 9sec bit will tax you hard imo.Gonna put that car under the knife..... radically I assume. Then I see; solid lifter cam + huge turbo @35psi + big plenum inlet + quality tune/standalone + gearbox adapt at least.Even a 700hp KA/S13/5spd currenty having a workout crackin' 9s, with aformentioned mods.In a starlet (or even rolla)... fine, but an s13..... good luck

Chris Adams CA18DET UTE... NUFF SAID! 9s all day long at only 430whp

search it on youtube... youll see =)

if i can run 10.50s ill be tickled.

Ive been around drag racing a while, and i know that it doesnt take 700hp to get in the 10s on a car this light... our nova drag car runs 10.00 at only 650whp... and its a 3500lb car with driver!

looks like you may be up and running before me. damnit. lol.

My excuse is that I work on it outside and its been freakin cold. So only an hour or two per week for the past two months. kinda sucks.

Mine runs just not very well.

Nice looking set-up though. I like the downpipe. Thats kinda what I was planning on but probably a little further back, cuz I had it like yours before and it resonated the entire car sooooo bad I could barely stand to drive it. good luck though man.
