honestly, with that mod list, 240 sounds a little conservative.

I'm sorry but I dont think he is even getting 240. That would be around 260 to 270 hp at the crank and that in a stripped eg hatch will run deep into the 12's w/o slicks. I know a guy on another forum I am on with a full interior eg coupe with 212 whp dyno proven from a bolt on K20A2 and he hits like 12.6's on street tires. I am not calling BS but you get down to it a stripped and boosted eg hatch with a stock D series at around the 200whp mark with slicks will touch low 13's. It simply does not take to much power to pull good times in a stripped eg.

Oh and I hope by now I can stop trying to prove myself to you guys, if you're still suspicious come visit for Christ sakes. I know you guys must get a lot of posers but this is tiresome.

You are getting me all wrong, I think either you dont have that amount of power or your slip will tell what is wrong. Could you post a slip of your 1/4 miles run.
