      I was dumping it. Ridin Rails gave me some tips that I plan to implement. I'll try no lift on 3rd and 4th as well.

        Don't no lift on 3rd and 4th and don't shift at redline when shifting into 3rd or 4th gear. The little 14b turd doesn't make power all the way up top.

          ^That's true. If you are trying to improve your time just buy more go fast parts. I'd also look into getting it professionally tuned.

            I usually slipped it around 5.5k and shifted about 6.8-7k. Seemed to work about the best for me.

              the 14b works, slowvo on here ran 12.1 with a 14b back in the day. You'd be better off putting the stock ECU back in the car w/ the stock fuel maps, etc and shifting before redline. I'd shift closer to 6500 rpm in the higher gears.

                ^slowvo probably didn't have a stock motor though too did he? And I'd guess he's running aem

                    ^12.1 1/8 mile maybe haha. I don't believe anybody ran a 12.1 1/4 mile on a stock motor with a 14b.

                        O I believe you can run a 12.1 with a 14b. Shit I think people are into the 10s with 14b's now. But not on a stock motor. I guess it comes down to "what is stock." To me stock is how the car comes from the factory 🙂

                            I'm running a 14b on my car and I have noticed that if I don't shift into 4th at the end of the track my time is better than shifting even though I am pulling some pretty high rpm. I have even hit the rev limiter a few times. Maybe I just can't shift fast I don't know??

                                  something probably just triped the sensor so the time stoped 🙂

                                    Sorry to steal the thread,
                                    but stock injectors? fuel pump? I'm assuming mbc turned up? Any head work?

                                    I'm just trying to find what is all done to the car. If 12s are so easy to hit, how come you don't see every dsm on the street running 12s or better? I've got a pte50trim, should i be able to hit 10s? lol

                                      do a little research....

                                      I'm sure he had some sort of walbro fuel pump, an AFC, and the boost to whatever a 14b can handle...20psi probably....

                                      ..if you watched the video, even they were shocked that he ran that time
                                      and no you wont run 10's with a 2g cuz they're heavy as shit, the tranny will break and so will the motor probably.

                                      but like i said... sometihng probably tripped the sensor so it stopped the time at 12.1 🙂

                                          nope but you should be able to hit 11's, but you probably are in the 12's.
