Default wanna run 14s

wassup fellas...i just got back from the illegals and after seeing hella domestics out there im convinced to forget about all show and go with speed as my first option. So do any of you have a 92 sc400 thats running 14's? If so what mods are you using?

Illegal street racing is evil and is responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people every year.

I'd go with BFI, headers (Rush Imports Australia is developing them now), exhaust, filters, plugs, wires. With any luck that will get you into the 14s.

Millions ? I am not telling you that you are wrong, but that seems like quite a lot.

To answer the original question ... just throw a 100 shot on ... you might even break into the 13s for under $1,000 in mods.

I heard some time earlier this year that the search button would gain you over 500 hp at the wheels and possibly a good bodykit too


Go with the bottle.

Torque Converter
Headers
Exhaust

got me to a 15 sec 1/4 mile on a 90 degree day. I know I can hit 14's once I get better traction and on a cooler day. when I was stock, I ran a 15.8.

If you just want to hit 14's, get the torque converter, lsd, and drag radials.

I think TME pushed their sc400 into the 12's with drag radials and 175 shot.

I am pretty sure toyomoto doesn't make headers for the sc400. for the sc400, you'll have to go to AUS.
