Yeah...its gonna be real hard to run 12s with a ka or sr on Low psi...
like, Juns 700hp Drag s13 runs mass psi, and it does like...10 or 11 or something...i forgot

maybe even a high comp turbo engine?? you'd be using high octane fuel though....
the high comp + boost would have that turbo on boost really early.... and if you were able to keep that psi up throughout you'd have one fat powerband. stripping the car, and a bunch of other mods, good tires.... i'd say it's possible, but not a very feasible possibility at that.

my one friend insists on believing the hks makes children's toys... not literally of course but that's just what he think's of their products. He's all Mr. "Get Greddy! Its sooo much better than hks will ever be" :-\ personally i'm a big hks fan. Lol minime brought up the hks s13 so i figured this kinda tied in.. not really. but its funny. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Yes its possible... with a 500 shot of nitrous.

it's more than possible... I think it wouldn't be too hard with some r&d. with 6psi, you could get a good 250rwhp with other mods and tweeking. gut your interior, work on your drivetrain, work your suspension, 12's shouldn't be a problem at all.
people think drag racing is all bout power, but suspension is at least 30% of the equation. with a good setup, you could get some crazy 60 foot time on any car that's light with a good suspension setup and of course, sticky tires.
think about it, those NA FWD Honda's run deep into the 12's and they're producing under 250hps.
