Possible to break into 13s NA in an 03 sedan?

Clearly I’m using “Child Psychology/Reverse psychology"…
At the Track – for best performance:
1) Use a long ram intake
2) Don’t bother with after market shielded intakes or a Z-Tube (it just makes the straight air flow too cold)
3) If AT, ALWAYS break torque – pull the stop lamp fuse (you get better smoke, and the ECU won't alter your power)
4) If #2 doesn’t work, 2nd worst (I’m mean next best) Neutral drop
5) Drop tire pressure to sub 25 psi
6) Hi-flow exhaust is just loud… stay with stock – you’ll never notice the difference without an ECU tune anyway
7) Don’t get an ECU tune because all the above is a waste of money
8) Don’t go FI, bang for the buck you’re are better off N/A
Okay… children, that about covers it… now go on and do exactly as I didn’t say!

Easiest way of knowing if you and the track are 13 second capable:
Run it stock. If you yield low 14's, 13's should be easy with full NA. The tracks around my area are not so great. So 13's is a much bigger deal here than in the tracks at the east coast (for instance).

)It's possible to run 13s bone stock with the right tires on a day like today... BUT WE'll NEVER KNOW!!!!!! F-ing Autoclub Raceway personnel!!!! Damn A-Holes!!!!!!
I mean, we'll know next month

Possible with those mods?..... Yes. Likely?....... No.
So the question remains, how to do it?
With those mods (Spacer, HFC, Pop/Ztube) you should trap 99-100mph wich is good enough for high 13's with a 2.0 or less 60'. To get that 60' you will need a good set of tires (Drag radials on stock rims is fine).
I would recommend a tune after those mods (should get you another 10-15whp and open up the power band -- +1-2mph in the 1/4)

Where do you live and I'll tell you if you've got a shot at 13s with an NA sedan.
I have a 2005 6mt Sedan with Injen CAI, Mrev2, 5/16" spacer, headers, test pipes, borla cat-back, and a 285/30/19 in the rear for some extra grip. My best time was a 13.78 with a 2.29 60 ft. time 
my launch could have been much better. Trapped 104.364mph, 52 degress F.

Ooops... nevermind - my appologies - I re-read and understood you to say 2.7 "without DR"...
Decent track prep + decent weather + decent launch + avg pwr + DR = sub 2.0 60' easily! first 4 without DR = sub 2.0!
DR to me is like NOS (a bit of a cheat)... unless you run NOS and/or have DRs at the stop light, I'm gonna beat you to the fwy entrance

Yes i could prob get my 60' Down a little more if i had a little more time on the track, and if i did'nt have as much neg camber in the rear as i do.
