First, I love drag racing, and can't wait to get out and see what I can get out of the 86. My goal is to beat my stock 4-door Si time of 14.799.

A 99 mph trap with a 1.9 60' and a 2400 lb car is good for a 13.9.

I'm not dismissing your disclaimer in this critique, just want to help a little with the theory. I enjoy some good bench racing as much as the next guy.
If you improve the 60' time without increasing power, you will improve the 1/4 et, but reduce the trap speed. If you factor in the expected
slight increase in acceleration from the lighter wheels/smaller diameter tires, you might negate the reduction in trap caused by the faster 60' and trap the same 97mph.
I think bolt-ons, a tune & a good driver will net low 14's (.1, .2, .3). 13's should definitely be attainable on corn...
