I ran 13.70's with 3.73's, no tune and x-pipe with cats.
The point of the thread is not who ran what, it is for all the people struggling in the 14's and the fact that you don't need more power to run 13's. For that matter you can go 12's with 250 rwhp.
Many peole have a limited budget for parts and I think too many times they get influenced by advertising or other people who have not been there and done that. I see so many Gt owners on here with 265-285 rwhp running high 13's or spraying and only running mid 13's. I race alot, almost every week. I meet people at the track and talk between runs. I see more money being pissed away on parts with marginal power gains or drivers who jump straight to nitrous before they learn what they are doing. I built a 66 Stang back in high school and made the same mistakes, too much power and not enough attention to the basics.
