Please read this story as I shall explain. I have a 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS with a 98 420A engine, matrix intake, racing transmission, 2 1/2 piping stock cat on no downpipe 3 or 4 inch tip, silicon hoses, ngk spark plugs, bosch spark plug cords, stock clutch. I am currently ranked #3 in my school as in racing i know 420a's are slow but i think my tranny makes a difference. top 2 racers are a 95 honda civic ex with a 2002 j spec high compression si engine swap in it hes ranked number 2 i say i probally got beat by him by 1 car and a half i dropped my clutch at 4 cuz when i drop it at 3 it goes down to 2 so i burned out alot. 1st ranked is a 89 5.0 mustang GT. I'm getting the pace setter headers with the downpipe in 1 week i dont got much money and I was thinking about nos just cause i know i am a junior and i want to beat the seniors so i can be ranked number 1. how much nos can i run? how do i use nos? and how much? Thanks guy id appreciate the support cause i refuse to let an american car rule the school. import scene must come back no haters it feels bad to loose to a honda so i need to know what i can do to my car to make it quicker i dont got money for turbo so dont say it i only got limited of time in highschool. ill take suggesstions on clutches, and stuff like that maybe cold air intake and stuff but i want also to list hp gains and maybe 1/4 mile time i can possibly do with some of the stuff and my current mods i ran 17 seconds at palmdale when my car was completely stock elevation is 3,000. please help me thanks. my aim sn is NightEclipseRS

haha, we had something like that in my high school, only it was times down a super curvey road. I had the fastest time in school in my '89 porsche 944 turbo, it outhandled everything. We can safely run up to a 75-80 shot with stock internals, but I'd advise having an intake and exhaust, and porting and polishing your throttle body with a dremel tool is always a good idea. I don't know what my 1/4 mile times were with my 75 shot, but they were a lot faster, and I was trapping a lot higher. The only time I ran it at the track with nitrous was at an 1/8th mile track. That was against a car that runs consistant 8.6's and I beat him by a car... so I dunno. You might not have as good of results as I did, or you may have better. Either way, with 75 extra horsepower and a little bit of driving skill, you should be able to kill that honda, and hopefully the 5.0. Good Luck man.

answering three questions. I guess u can say slow cars at my school but thats the point my school it dont matter its about pride at our school besides we are northern league champs in football which im in hehe so i feel proud that pride just goes around . so i dont really care about that diss. its about pride you just dont understand. and then about the racing tranny I have no clue what it contains inside i was working with a ase certified mechanic over the vacation he was cool with my mom so i got to learn how to the basics like oil changes and crap like that i didnt know how to do, there was a 280z or zx datsun he also worked there he had 6 cylinders with lots of power he said something about him only having a racing transmission and changin some differentials and he said a racing transmission would be perfect for a fwd car, he said I would be able to take off quicker and shit so i bought it for 700 bucks from this transmission shop supposely gears are restrengthen and stuff like that and our transmissions are electronic, basicly now with this transmission my car pulls every 3000 rpm like crazy its like vtec just not as much cause i got beat by the si hehe umm basicly before i use to be at 70 mph downshift into third and id be like close to redlining or around 6000 rpm now im at my tip of my power around 4000 rpm. its actually working great for me it seperates me from the normal non turbo eclipses. Its tight, and umm as for the exhaust comment I changed the whole piping of the exhaust to 2 1/2 piping but only up to the downpipe part i sorta took out the cat cause i want straight pipe but it was hell of a loud so i made a different muffler shop put the cat back on so its 2 1/2 piping and the stock catalac convertor back on to reduce noise and some horsepower as i just found out so i think i need a high flow cat. the muffler shop i took it to did take out the cat but i will not say who cause i know its illegal in california hehe. and to the other guys thanks for the help i appreciate the support, i gotta bring import scene back into my school which is http://www.marshallhigh.com thanks guys lates.

You ran 17's with a stick? 16's is average stock right? I would get headers and a CAI before Nitrous, help it breath better, but thats up to you. If you really want to you could take your cat off AGAIN and gut it this time. Find out exactly whats in your "Racing tranny". Good luck with the SI. Your school isnt to big is it:p

Sorry, I took your comment to mean you were running "no downpipe" to 2.5" exhaust pipe. I was thinking what is the point of running 2.5" pipe and exhaust when there is no downpipe. It was difficult to read and that was why I was asking. It didn't sound right to me. After rereading it, it makes sense.
