Hey guys, my 92 LX Vert is stone stock. I don't want to break into the motor, because I want to leave it as stock as possible. But I was thinking bolt ons. It's a 5 spd car and the only mods are king cobra clutch& flowmaster mufflers..
Any suggestions?

Most likely in the 15's if its bone stock.

My 87 vert ran 15.50's with gears and exhaust

I put in a mild cam with a tmoss ported cobra intake and a set of thumpers ported e7's and went 13.9 on street tires

4.10 gears, rear control arms, drag radials, then with some seat time you can hit 13's

3.73's LCA's underdrive pullies, headers, H-pipe, catback, CAI, electric fan, front Drag Struts by Tokico, or Strange, remove sway bar, Nitto's or M/T's and you should be in the 13's.
