Longtubes?
A4?
M6?
Tune?
Depending on your tracks elevation
M6 if you can drive and launch the car you can see 12s
A4 without a stall bottom 13s

Depends on the driver and a host of factors. One important one being your ability to read a tree well. Your reaction time affects your time also. Do you have a stall speed?

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can sit there for 2 seconds if you want, your time doesn't start until you move.

Yeah I don't think it matters how fast off the tree you are. Your time doesn't start until you do. My first few runs at the track I would try not to concentrate on the tree to hard because it would mess me up.

Reaction time means nothing. When you break that beam is when the clock starts....
No tune, no stall,stock Lt1 and 4.10s I don't see how you are not hitting the limiter on shifts.....mid 13s

Gonna need to tune the trans for the 4.10s, can't just stick them in there with out problems. And gains will be minimal unless you can hook.

Reaction time has NO effect on your ET, your ET starts when you leave the last set of beams at the line and cross the beams at the end.

LTs auto no tune...your probably not much, if any, faster than stock, plus you probably have over 100k miles on it, so Ill say low to mid 14s as it sits now. With a tune, gears, stall, and about 200lbs of weight reduction, you could break into high 12s. Add roller rockers, springs, electric waterpump, mid 12s on a 50 degree dry day. You cant do gears without tuning the computer for it, or your trans wont shift properly. Do the rest of your boltons and do gears last, and then get the tune once so you dont have to spend the money twice.
