I'm interested in how you can make a se-r do 14s with a mere $1000 bucks. My
stock SE-R with perfect launch and everything bested 16.2. With $1000, I
assume u can afford a PR cai, pulleys, Headers, and an aftermarket muffler,
not the catback. With all that, I doubt you can even knock off .7 seconds
which means you'll be in 15.5sec area. I think it is impossible to knock
down 1.2sec with $1000 without doing forced induction or nos and with full
interiors including the spare tires. What is your strategy on that $1000?
