Default 95 LT1 1/4 mile times

I just want some opinions on what everyone thinks my car would run in the 1/4 mile. It is a 1995 Z28 with 6 speed trans. It has mid tube headers, y pipe, no cats, flowmaster muffler, full CAI with good elbow, air foil, underdrive pulley, tune, pro 5.0 shifter, stock wheels with street tires and stock 3:42 gears.

I was thinking atleast mid 13's but I just wanted to get some opinions on it. About how much time would a set of DR pick it up?

Mid to low 13's should be easy. Low 13's would be easy with DR's and a nice 60' time.

dr's should at least guarantee a low 13. i doubt you'd be able to hit 12's.

right now i'd say you'd probably get a 13.3-13.4 on a good pass on street tires

like they said, if your a good driver it could do low 13's.

First run, dont be sad if you see a number that starts with 14, M6 cars arnt the easiest things to launch.

Yea I know alot of factors weigh in like temp, elevation, track conditions, driver, etc. The best thing I could do is just go to the track and see what it will do lol. Maybe I will get time to do that someday. I know I prolly just need to run it and get a feel for it but about what rpm is the best to launch at on a car with these mods?

something i probably shouldnt comment on, but your gonna have to slip it to the point where it hurts the mind if you think about whats going on inside your transmission vs engine lol.

If you have never run it I'm going to bet 14s. It has mid 13s in it, but you'll need to learn to drive it first. Weather/traction permitting low/bottom 13s should be doable too.

Yea I wouldn't expect much from it the first time I went because I have never raced a 6 speed before but I think I could get use to it after some practice. I have raced at tracks before just not this car and not a manual trans.

My 95 lt1 ta auto ran a 13.5 with just a intake catback
And tune. With street tires I knocked off a 1.9 60. Also had 180k on the clock. Now it sits with longtubes ory, ws6 ram air setup instead of slp intake. Air foil, sfcs stb lca panhard bar tq are relocation kit. Tb bypass. With 222k on the clock. There's a guy around here with a 10 ss 6speed who I've ran around 10 times and get it everytime up to 80ish. He has some glass hood on it some sort of different mufflers and a intake. He's only behind about a car length after launch and stays there til like 60-70isj then starts pulling.
