It all depends on track conditions. When my 85 was still hot air, the only mods were fuel pump, no air filter, 160 stat, and 15psi boost, the car ran 13.84 launching on 5psi with an open rear and 215/65 BFG Radial TA's on the back. The previous best was 14.3 on a crappy track. At 20 psi as long as everything else is right, it should trap 105+.
Well the results are in, and I'm nothing if not consistent. 4 runs, three were within a thousandth of 13.65 and 100 mph +/- 1. This was with no launch, crap tires and what I would consider a below average track. I was satisfied considering my limitations. It's a starting point.
Fourth run was a 14, tried launching with some boost and spun a lot though 60. Had the wifey along in the co-pilots chair and on this run the throttle stuck wot. Got pretty interesting for a half second. Just killed the car and coasted through. Popped the hood and it must have released. Not sure where it got hung up. Ran fine after that.
