Dead on tuning, PRACTICE and some drag radials need to be added to your list. You have a long way to go and it's always going to be an uphill battle. But that's what makes doing this so much fun.

lower 14's, really? i seen a guy on here with half the mods and no head work going to run 18 psi of boost daily and they estimated around 300whp with 12 second 1/4's.

its not the amount of mods that get it done...its tuning, driver ability, a bazzillion different factors....your #1 killer is that sissy ass 16g turbo your rocking....get a 20g or better yet 25g if you really wanna make some power...and your gonna need some drag radials to get it done....

agreed.. 300whp won't get you 12's tho... maybe 400, but u'll want at least a 20g for that.
Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

I was running in the neighborhood of 350 fwhp in my Eclipse, and ran a best of 13.2 in the 1/4. With stickier tires, my trap speed tells me I should have been running in the upper 12's. When you get to that horsepower level, putting it to the ground becomes the problem - not making more power.

thanx guys, i'll maybe be done around a month from now so once i get used to driving a turbo, i'll take it to the track and i'll post my times or something. and i was just wondering becuz Hahn ran 12.3 with the s16g, of course they had larger injectors and a computer but it's still a s16g and they say their stage 3 will get you around high twelves.

Those times are on slicks, with Bill Hahn Jr. driving. You're not Bill Hahn
992gnt could have easily been in the 12's had he ever run real slicks on his car. Many people here could be, if they had a good tire. The biggest issue is driver skill and PRACTICE!
