Default thinking im gonna be disappointed.

Got a 98' TA here. Car has the following
-Hooker Longtubes
-Loudmouth(with flomaster 40 series in place of resonator)
-Stock rear(3.23 rear)
-Ported Fast 90
-Fast 90 Throttle body
-Vigilante 3200 stall
-Comp 224/230 .581/.592 114LSA
-Ported 241 Heads with Ferrea 2.02/1.57, Comp 918 springs, Comp 1.7 Rockers
-NX Wet Kit (150 shot)
-Competition Engineering Rear Drag shocks
-MT ET Streets 275/40/17
-No front swaybar

Just trying to see if anyone on here as a car with very similar mods, and what kind of times/trap speeds they put down. Educated guess work could be beneficial aswell.

Thanks!

the car is 3500lbs with me in it. I already did a battery re-location, but still need to do some more suspension work.

Buy the madman or wolfe kit, torque arm, offset lca's adjustable panhard rod. anti roll bar, drag shocks and springs front and back, cage that should do it chassis wise for much to come.

You can remove the front and rear bumpers 40 pounds total, buy after market seats, run 15" rims skinnys up front, strange front brake kit drops 50 pounds, k member and a arms, manual steering and brakes. Thats a pretty good start.

It's all going to depend on your 60' times. You have the power to run 10s. I'm running 11.0s on the SIs w/ 150 shot to give you a base.
