It's very posible... There are several 13sec N/A 4.8 in here.
A tune and a mild stall should easily get you there.

Easiest way, Nitrous.
Best way IMHO, Good Tune, Headers, Stall and lower gears, and CAI.

long tubes, torque converter, posi, gears, and a nice tune. that'd put you in the 14's for sure.

Yup..

Techincally you should be able to run a 14 with just a tune, slicks and a muffler. Mine did it with a bit of weight reduction. The biggest thing is the 60'. With just a TQ converter and slicks you'd run a 14 even if everything else was stock.
