Default Does this seem right

So I bought a 98 z28 A4 to start a new project. I ran it last night to see what it would do before I start adding mods. Currently it has Pacesetter lt, lid, 853 heads, ls1 intake, 3.42 gears, and no tune I did want to see what the car made and it made 294 through the auto. Well I guessed 13.2 and boy was I wrong it ran a 12.72 at 108 with 1.91 60ft does this seem normal.

294rwhp is a little low, but the ET is about right for those mods... What RPM is it launching at?

Nice track numbers for the power and mods you have. Get a converter and you should be low 12s

Thanks guys. Since then I have added subframe connectors, tranny cross member, bmr adjustable torque arm, mickey Thompson et street radials, yank SS3600, and the 3.42 are coming out next week going to 3.73. I did add ls2 intake with fast 92 throttle body changed to better y pipe with dynamax bullet dumped at the axel and a tune and went from 294hp to 335hp yea I was amazed that I picked up 41 horse from intake throttle body and tune. I'm running next week hoping for 11's don't care if its 11.99
