Default N/A power?

I am just wondering what the 1/4 mile times are on a stock N/A bonny. And what is doable with bolt-ons. My dad wont let me get the SSEi cause he says the supercharger makes the motor harder to work on. PLus I cant afford the insurance on an SSEi. I dont no about u guys but in my area for my age insurance is brutal.

I'm guessing L36?
Tough to say cause not too many people did it.
Smellbird'* got 1.9 rockers and pems but ran a 15.xx
I think with a good cam and some bolts on'* a n/a bonnie should see 14'* easy. We have a 3.06 gear ratio, bad weight transfer, and more weight acting agianst us.
13'* aren't impossible but i doubt it will happen without touching the tranny. (every other bolt on goes without saying)
Just a nice guess.

totally stock a NA series one will run about 16.1-15.7, these are real workd times that ppl have run, and the totally stock NA series two will run about the 15.9-15.6, The series two has a huge mod base compared to the series II

and by the way ZZP is making a SC kit for the NA series II

Supercharger makes the motor harder to work on? It'* EASIER and more DURABLE and longer lasting!

No kidding! You want long-lasting durability, forget the plastic upper intake manifolds. Everyone with one ends up either replacing it, or in some cases replacing their entire engine because of the water damage inside.

I'm takeing it that those times are for a L36 with an few extra horsepower then the l26. Just a few .

And any word if my poor little l26 will ever see a ZZP */C kit?

I doubt there will be a kit for the L27 any day soon, It'* an older engine with a much smaller fanbase.
