Talking First time to track in 99 TA

Well friends, first time to the track today at Famoso Raceway in my 99 TA since the cam swap (friday). Ran it with my Yokahama 245/50/16 Avid's about worn out since I couldn't get drag radials in time for the track. I was able to make 5 passes, all but 1 in the 12's, first pass of the day I babied it off the line and ran 13.005 @ 110.14 MPH. Best 60' was 1.955, best 1/8th was 8.295 @ 86.51 MPH. Best 1/4 12.76 @ 111.16 MPH. These times were with the mods in my signature, all I need now are LT's, ORY, DR's on a 12-bolt and a TUNE!!! Let me know what you think!!!

good times for street tires! That mph should be good for low 12s with a good hook. Just keep at it, and get some sticky tires

Any idea based on 1/4 MPH how much RWHP is being put to the pavement? I have so many people telling me different things!!! Some say that I couldnt've ran that with the mods I have... What are your opinions?

You're probably putting 340-350 horsepower to the ground. Adding a set of LT's and a decent exhaust will probably get you another 20rwhp. Add some tires to that setup and you'll see 11's.

Wow, I didn't expect the guess to be so high... any other opinions? 340-350 rwhp on a 91k motor is pretty good on stock exhaust. I'm also have a new in box FAST 90mm intake part #30-54003 I would like to trade for a 30-54001 or aftermarket TB, LT's, ORY, o2 sims, Stage 2 heads, etc. Any go-fast parts, or monetary offers are accepted. Thanks for all of the positive responses!
