Oh yeah, if you think a modded ITR cant get into the 13's then you havent studied up on ur ITR's. My friends 97 R, stock, broke a 14.1 in 1998 (i have the timeslip). So a modded ITR, with a more aggresive intake cam, mods, stickier tires and lighter wheels should not have a problem.

EDIT: "Type-Rs are over-rated"

i agree.

I have no doubt, none at all, that regardless of whether or not you run a 13 sec timeslip that I'll be at the end of the track before you. Heads up, 1/4 mile, your car vs my car. Bring to the table what you've got come springtime.

BTW, how does his car "not count" because its turboed? I thought turbos were bad engineering. Surely if that be the case good would triumph over evil and you'd win right??

OK OK, I will lay off a bit. But tell me this, if you are so sure that you are in the 13s then why does it matter if my car is boosted? Name some cars that are faster then yours.

If you are able to get into the 13s, then more power to you, I will give you credit cause I honestly dont see it happening.

What is the fastest time you have run to date? Have you made it into the 14s yet?
Just keep it honest cause there is more to racing then what is done on the bench.

You should know what any boosted B series motor is capable of. if you're boosted then thats cool, ill run you. but losing wont be any surprise to me.

"Have you made it into the 14s yet?"

My first time at a drag strip, not knowing what a yellow or green light, or a staging light was, i pulled a 14.7.

I have seen some fast boosted B series engines. But I have to say that your particular B series engine is not the most ideal to boost. You have high compression, a thicker head gasket will distort your quench along with lowering your CR. You would be better off swapping a H22 or a LS and turboing one of them. And I am sure that your cams arent going to have turbo friendly overlap....

I wonder why MugenT3/T4 dropped his turbo Type-R like it was hot. He could have stuck with a NA type-r and would have been alot better then with a new SI.

Type-Rs have their place as cars, but turbos dont have a place on them. It wasnt in the cards.

I'm sorry man, but the simple ignorance of your post tells me how much you know about cars. Do you know what Mugent3/t4 ran in the 1/4 or how much power he made with just a head gasket? No. S2k's run lots of boost, lots of ITR's do too, a high compression ratio can be overcome by good fuel and timing maps. Turbos do just fine on a stock ITR as long as you dont run over 9lbs stock. Yeah, it was in the cards, but shit happens
