Oh man, now you are trying to tell ME how fast the average 2.3T is...give me a break
You're the one that posts about Cavi statistics, states elsewhere that the 1/4 mile times posted in magazines just don't seem right for a 5.0 considering it's power and weight, etc. Like I said before, I'm not giving you a blueprint so I'm not TRYING to include every "varable" as you say it.
You "think" wrong. I've already stated the three ways to go fast with a 2.3...turbo, nitrous, or a high revving, big cam, high compression, race gas running n/a...there are no secret "varables" that change physics.
I think it's called domestic "skillz" and just so you know, the junkyard Holset turbos are as efficient than the "best of the best" the aftermarket has to offer in the GT series turbos...and they are 1/4 of the price.
Here we go again...big talk and nothing to back it up...
I've done things my way...low 11's with a 2.3 for less than 3500 TOTAL including the car, drivetrain, cage, wheels, tires, and every nut & bolt:

Now lets see your magic 1800 dollar project that will cost 4 grand and your magic "varable" juice do something everyone else hasn't already done...
Here we go again...big talk and nothing to back it up...
I'll say it again: If you think you have the magic quotient, go do it and :Zip2:
