I would hope so... you'd need what, a 2.8 60 footer to run 14@100?

I saw a stage 0 with a turbo back exhaust run a 13.6 at sac raceway.

Anyhow, I saw the segment, didnt recognize the driver or the car. Good stuff though as he promotoed track racing as opposed to street racing.

100 mph through the traps is respectable for a mildly tuned car (ala bolt-ons and re-flash, but no internal engine mods). 14 seconds flat seems a little on the slow side for the trap speed. This sounds like the driver is babying the clutch off the line instead of dumping it at 4 or 5k with sticky radials.

Trap speed is the indicator of engine power, not the E.T.

Yes, lower E.T.'s are the product of ruining your clutch and shredding your POS stock tranny....

....I hate my tranny....
