I'm going to disagree with the crowd and say that the S13/14 will have a tough time in Street Mod (sorry, Chris. I hope I'm wrong!).
First, the e36 can easily get into the 2700# range and with some money, high 2600s is possible.
Second, the THIRD place finisher at Topeka this year was making on the order of 360whp with a supercharger and its not maxed out. The DET will have difficulty getting close to that and still be autoxable.
Third, there is an
immense amount of knowledge about how to setup an E36 chassis and be fast. It will take a lot of personal coin to develop the s13/14 to that level. At the very least, I hope Chris knows Bob Stretch.
Not saying it's not possible but it's a lot harder to beat the E36s than is commonly thought, just ask Scott Seck(sp?). My $.02
