I've ran mine all motor last May and ran 14.1 with out my Nitrous on bald drag radials. With 6puc ACT clutch 9.5lb flywheel, lightweight crank pulley, MS8 Intake manifold, Vitek wires, NGK plugs, ECU upgraded from Corksports to run KL-ZE, stock exhaust manifolds from the 1.8ltr., with a full custom exhaust from the flex pipe back no cat just 2.5inch piping with 2 resonators to help keep it quit on the streets with full interior.

With the Nitrous wet kit, I'm running 12.4 @110mph should be faster atleast thats what everyone else says because i don't get a lot of traction. Trying Drag slicks this year with many many other mods

Over a 75 shot atleast. Motor will go from 10:1 to 11:1 compression ratio with a custom dome piston with stronger pins rings and rods. Everything built to handle a lot of Nitrous! :lol:

I will also have New aftermarket headers, LSD installed in my tranny, External MSD Ignition System, Nology plug wires, ported and polished headsand stronger valve springs.

should be able to break into the 11's this year.

Would a 13.8 be considered a good time. Just found out from the previous owner of my engine that that was his best time.

I would say a 13.8 is excellent for the ze.
Did the previous owner have a different setup than you? I noticed you are running the 1.8 ecu and kl02 vaf, I tried that combo and found that it felt like it had better low rpm response and a significant kick at around 4500, but now I run the ze ecu and 1.8 vaf.

I see you got a custom intake
I hear some people around here having problems reaching high-speeds with theres

Try running the stock intake
Look around and see people's CAI setups

A good indication of horsepower been made is the 1/4 trap speed.

Your trap speed for the time done is very slow i would exspect a
trap speed of at least 100mph. for a car on song and running well..

There are some things that have to be changed in order for the ZE to run right into whatever it is put in..and the ECu...well it can make a difference but i dont think 2 seconds..
