well, i've done two swaps

93 gt w/ jdm 3sgte
2.5 exhaust, gutted cat, intake, hks bov, and lowered with 17 wheels
ran a 14.9 on a 60 degree day

92 gts w/ jdm rc swap
full 3" exhaust, gutted cat, intake, custom stage 3 clutch, constant run intercooler water pump with water wetter, greddy type s bov, fresh head job, compression at 9.1:1 and turbo xs mbc at 12psi
best time was a 14.1 at 80 degrees

i'd say you'll probably be at about a 15 depending on how good of a driver you are. i would gut the cat if you don't have to worry about emissions. then get an intake, bov and boost controller of some sort... that should put you into the 14's

from a rolling start will help you win alot... i always launched from a dead stop. and yes there are traction problems, the biggest down fall to a fwd 3sgte.... but if you do if right, a bit of feathering on the gas to control your tire spin you can do pretty well...

i once races a gsr integra with flywheel clutch pressure plate cold air intake full exhaust with headers and a 50 shot of nos... he got me off the line but by the 1/8 mile mark his front bumper was even with my rear and by the 1/4 mile mark i had 2-3 car lengths on him.... this was a street race so i don't know the time, but he was supposedly running a 14.3 ish. i had also used a supra ct26 at about 16psi... two days later i blew the motor racing a vette... oh well...

GT HATCH,
the only thing keeing me weighted down is me and my rims.
cloth on the inside. no system 10, manual eveything pretty much which i like! :D

ive have notice feathering the pedal does help. off a launch

that'll probably help you a bit... the hatch makes your car a bit heavier than the coupe, but everything being man. makes up for it...

Some GT's also came in coupe form. If a car came with a hatchback and notchback version, I always seem to prefer the hatchback. (Mustangs, all gens of Celicas, etc.)
