might want to try the drag racing section.
Better yet, Race it and then you'll know!

Have you ever raced before? I'll say 13.0 at 108.

nope, not at the track..
i've had the stall since last may though, so did get a hang of it. can launch pretty nice, just don't know what the 60 foot is, since never was at the actual track...

What were your dyno #s when you got it tuned?

I'm running those tires now and they hook up pretty well for "street tires". If you really want to get your time down in the mid/lower 12s with that setup you should get some drag radials.

I'm going to be running a similar set-up to yours and will be "shooting for" about a 12.4 @ 111 on 255/50/16 bfg drag radials this spring. I will have a few more mods than you including: ls6 intake, ud pulley, ported tb, and lcas even though my stall will be slightly less agressive.

I have some drag racing experience, but not in this car yet.
