560hp civic

[shiznight]

On his previous set up he made 561whp and went 11.23 @ 126, well i have a 5k budget and basically stock car aside from a k&n intake. what would needed to be done to sneak out a 10.9x?

i'm definitely going to run an nx express 150 wet shot through a shark nozzle. i've yet to buy a tuner, i do have the proper plugs and a local tuner here capable of doing whatever my car needs fuel and timing wise. i'm just not sure what else i need as far as gears, tire, stall, suspension. i am not afraid to make my car 100% a single seater. from what i've seen a few have cut low 11's/high 10s with headers and shot alone but wondering your thoughts on what and where to spend to drag this kid. pockets only get deeper towards winter.

oh forgot to mention this was in a 1300 da with 72% humidity for that night he ran that said time.

also a friend of mine has 18x9.5 wheels from his ls3 corvette. down side is they are factory 56mm off set, any chance of these still fitting?

Good luck on getting into the 10's with a 5K budget .
From what I have seen, you pretty much need to have ~ 700 RWHP, the right tires, and know how to drive the 1/4 to run 10's

There are guys here that have spent 5-6X that amount to run 10's consistently. Let us know what you decide and how it comes out.

Cam - 2k
Nitrous - 1k
Used boltons and tune - 1k
Drag radials off craigslist and trailing arms - 1k
Weight reduction - free
Lots of skill - Priceless

You might get into the 10s but you'll need a big shot and an aggressive cam and parts will start breaking quickly.

Exactly what i was thinking, i know the cam choice/heads setup im after from texasspeed. have 5k atm and aiming for a 12k for the end of the year budget. I know axles will be the first victim on the list. Im hoping for 440s motor (l99) and I'll let the nitrous make up the rest. (150 shot)

Also i have the nitrous kit. Cai. And talking to my tuner now to see what software to use to tie it all in

You wont have any trouble with axles with a high 10 sec L99. You problem is getting high 10's with a 5K budget. You need some ZO6 front replica wheels with the ZO6 offset, 305/45R18 MT drag radials, a 3600 stall, cam, headers and the nitrous. Remember you can only choose two words from the following statement. Fast, reliable, cheap.

only needs to work once. and 5k is the budget right now, not the budget by october (more as i add to it). i have a decent amount of the build figured. and the means to have it installed very reasonably, a chevy tech friend of mine and i are going to be doing the dod delete and cam swap. just researching what size stall in conjunction with a 150 shot and the vvt-3 cam. and if i'll need any head work at all since they will be pulled off anyways. labor for stall installation and dod delete is only going to run me 800. (not including price of parts).

Um I broke my axle like 2 days ago and I only have 480 whp. I hit it in second from a roll so it's not even driver related.

Pipe dream.

I don't see it either. A guy here just ran a 12.2 1/4 MILE. That's drag radials, CAI, LT Headers, full exhaust w/ cutouts, stronger axles, tuned and a pretty big Cam too. Not to mention he can drive pretty well. He was having a hard time to get it to hook up though. I don't see $5k getting you there, even with you doing every bit of labor. The only thing that might do it is the Spray, but even that will be a close one. That's my 2 cents, probably only worth 1 though.

Some people are running mid 12s on completely stock cars and a couple in high 10s low 11s with heads/cam so idk what's going on there... His goal is unrealistic sure but it won't hurt to try. All he has to lose is some ego.

I just talked to him and revised my post a bit. He ran a 12.2 but said he was not hooking up that great.

Which leads us to our main problem with this whole situation: track conditions/luck. Considering he has an auto, driving skill won't matter. But the track will have to be well prepped, the weather great, his mods will have to work together properly, hopefully he has good factory parts and doesn't wheel hop everywhere, etc. I guess we'll just have to find out.
