My mates EL XR8 ran a 15.3 @91 with extractors, and full exhaust.

Took his airbox off as well.

Not bad for an Auto.

I seem to remember posting in this thread. My post was just as relevant too, because THE PERSON ASKING THE QUESTION DRIVES A 6CYL.

Just so it can be said that I've contributed something to the E-mutant cause, I had a 3.9L EA with similar mods to that, and it ran a mid 16. It was a very tired old beater, with a 4 speed auto.

If you want a rocketship, buy a better car.

Or even more logically, buy a rocket ship. Try Ebay.

the basic mods can land you with a 15 second pass.
depends on the overall condition of the engine etc.
