A friend of mine has a RSX-S with the AEM CAI, Hondata reflash, and Hondata plastic manifold gasket and his best is a 14.3@99mph. He ran that down in Nashville and we never got to run at my track in Kansas City. He's not one to lie either plus I've seen the slips and have seen videos of him doing 14.3-14.4@98mph+. I've driven the car and honestly it doesn't feel very quick, but the slips/video don't lie. Anyways, judging performance from the seat of the pants is worthless. My 94 Z28 felt a lot stronger than the 99 Z28 I drove, but at the track the LS1 was about .3 and 2mph faster than my LT1. Going 13s in the RSX-S with the mods you listed is pretty common assuming you use DRs. Those cars require a 5000-6000rpm launch and street tires can't handle that.
