What should a '14 MKS with a 93p and a 3bar run?
Depends greatly on your mods and launch style. I am running JUST a 3-bar, pump-92 and .28 gapped plugs on a AJPTurbo tune and I am just now getting 4.5x-4.6x on non-prepped full street on a 2k launch. (but it ruins my 1/4 mile to launch @ 2k)
If i did the downpipes and catback I *know* i'd gain another 150 milliseconds and maybe a hair more or so on pump gas.
If i went further and did a e20/e30 tune I'd gain another 150-200 milliseconds on top of that depending on atmosphereic conditions, elevation and tires.
Others here run e20/e30 + METH spray with downpipes+catback and can pull anywhere from 3.8x-4.1x with a hard 2k launch.
the mods 100% make the car beyond the initial gains from the tune. and the tune also plays a big role.
Depending on your lifestyle you may want a safer tune, that will make your 0-60 slower, but keep you from fuel shortages, bad knock and super hard shifts that will reduce the life of your PTU and connected bits.
if your more aggressive you can run some vendors tunes that pretty much go balls out 24x7. but you will eventually cause wear and damage.
the warranty can also have a great impact on your cars speed. I have a 4 year 100k all included warranty on my 50k mile SHO. so i CANT install downpipes and catbacks because the dealership here is supper sphincter tight and would invalidate any claims due to being modded. so i run only the 3bar i can swap on the side of the road and the tune. thus I get to run slower.
Before you pull the plastic i'd find a shop that will work on your car despite being modded if possible to keep you warranty intact. if the shops wont make a gentleman's agreement on that you might be limited in mods until it runs out... or you risk it.
