If he practices more, I bet he could hit low 14s or maybe even hit 13s.

Regardless of whether he was 'stock' or 'close to stock,' the time is impressive.

since he's using DR or Slick, there's not going to be much improvement with the same mods even if he practices more.

yea those times are not good, he basically has the same mods as udumkid minus the TB spacer an other little stuff.. which isnt gonna make that much of a difference.. put udumkid on slicks and id bet he'd pull 13.5-.6's i dont get why everyone thing those are such good times when u could just bolt slicks to a completly stock FG2 or FA5 and pull the same or better times... And for the guys on H-t there friends of mine, they just like being assholes lol

Actually practicing does help and could make his time fast. For example, lets say he has slicks and always bogs in first gear because he didn't keep his rpms high enough. That right there could be a lost of couple tenths of a second right there.

There's alot of factors that could have your times faster or slower.

an intake would still keep it stock......

slicks help u launch a lot better than stock tires....

i think road and track....or was it car and driver....rated the mugen si as 201 Bhps...because of the exhaust

despite all of that....the mugen si came out slower than a regular FA5...


im not sure ...but with all of that body work....mugen may have gained sum
