With a good 60' you should make it into the 12's, but it will be harder with a stock converter.

Just Kiddin. But yeah, sounds like you basically just got headers, catback and a lid. I think you'll make it though.

I think their is no reason why you shouldn't make it. I have an LT1 a4 with less bolt ons than you and I ran an 8.6 in the 1/8, with a sh*tty 2.xxx 60'. With a 1.8 60', I could run an 8.4 or so. That is good for a 13.1 or better. Hell, an 8.6 is good for a 13.3-13.4. With your mods, running a 12.7-12.8 would sound about right to me, comparing it to an LT1 that has like 40 less hp stock...

I personally i don't think it is possible. low 13s is what you will hit. I have basically the exact same setup. Your 60ft will not be 1.8 without a conveter. My 60 ft is 2.1 and my best time is 13.2 on street tires.

I just wanted to quote myself and say I ran an 8.4. It didn't take a 1.8 60' either. I got a 1.975 (which still isn't good) on the stock converter and managed an 8.4. I think I would have had an 8.3 on one pass, but I had to let off due to someone I was racing. He was swerving all over the place and I slowed done to see and make sure nothing happened. I had a better 60' on that run.

You should be in the 12's.
