Say I got a CAI, Header, catback, stage I-II F/I. What kind of Quarter mile times would 08 4cyl get?

I got my 08 brand new for $13575. But I was way upside down in my last car. about 6 grand. With sales tax that put my loan at about $20500. So I couldnt afford the GT. I make decent money. So here is my debate/what would you do. Pay hard on the car. About $10,000 in the next year. Probly sell it for 10,000. then upgrade to A GT or possibly another make. Or, be happy with what I got, and mod this car a little?

How much HP does it take to get this car into a 14-14.2sec quarter? If it can be done with the mods above. I would probly just stick with this car. If its gonna take more than that to only get 14s. I'd rather put that money into the loan and get a faster (starting point) car.

OH you'll make those times for sure with the mods you have listed above.

I think you can easily make a mid 14 with CAI, headers, catback, and a stage II enforcer

imo though, let someone else chime in as well

thank you...

Please. someone else chime in and confirm.

I dont need anything crazy. If I can get low 14s with 5Gs in upgrades. I'd do that.

Turbo will get you in the 12's. Not that a blower isn't an option, with the i4 if you want to make power turbo is the way to go.
You're going to want to upgrade the clutch if you are a 5 sp.
