Default What should I run?

1999 Trans Am, American Racing Long Tube Headers, Borla full exhaust, Under drive pulleys, superchips tuner - performance tune, and of ram air lol. I am un sure if the car is geared or not. What would be an "average" time for me.I know theres no way of telling before I go to the track but it would be nice to have a n idea of what to expect.

if your new to the track and or car youll prob start out running like 15's but work down to low 13's MAYBE 12's. But not for a lil while. Making 12's will be your hardest hump to cross.

I just recently made the 12's. throw on a set of good dr's, preferably something on the wide side. I run 315's. do a good burnout and launch that bitch from, 6K (if you got a good clutch) you can pull a 1.80 60' on stock susp. shift right when your car quits making power. i shift at 5500.
