Default What will this run 1\4 mile

I have a 2001 T|A vert.
Stock weight less spare tire, jack.
Shaved 20lbs off front by using racing battery.
So
MS4 cam,Pacesetter LT's,magnaflow (no cats) with 3" piping,
Speed density tune. Dynoed at 417rwhp.

I just added 100% chromoly lca's with relo brackets, 100% chromoly panhard bar.
Car has Vredestein street tires. Tires grip great for what they
are?

Thinking low 12's high 11's??

Out of curiosity, why did you go SD tune? What trans? What track wheels/tires? Did it dyno 412 or 417? Not that it matters much, its just your sig says something else

After getting a MAF (mass air flow) tune, my car stalled,smoked,bucked (hard).
I was told it was due to the cam being so large. In speaking to another guy who also had a large cam, he recommended a speed density tune. He said his car drives like stock (LOL). He had the same tuner. I paid $250 more for the speed density tune. I was told that you can eliminate the 02 sensor readings, and not worry about having to replace the 02 sensors, which seems to be a liittle bit of an issue with headers.
After the SD tune...No smoke, no stalling...much smoother idle...almost no bucking...5 more H.P. (417 need to change signature).
I have a T56 stock trans, 342 gears. I have Vredestein tires, which are AWESOME street tires, but do not own slicks. Slicks (I hear) may trash my stock rear end.
As far as the difference between MAF tune and Speed Density, not too sure of all the differences , just know it helped my situation. Have heard of large cam, successful MAF tunes. My car wasn't one of them.

With decent traction (maybe 1.8 or 1.9 60ft) I would say 12.3 or 12.4. On some MT Et Streets or better without busting your stock rear (which it will real soon, ask me how I know lol) it should run 11.7 or 11.8.

I am with carter^^^ on the times. I was only asking about the SD tune cause that's usually a FI thing. I ran 11.9 on slicks with a f14 cam

12.4-12.7 depending on your 60' on those tires. high 11's on dr's but i wouldn't with a 10 bolt.

My car on a dynojet made 430hp and my 60' is normally 2.0-2.1 (shitty summitomo tires) and my best to date with a 2.07 60' is 12.6 at 115

Verts make horrible drag cars unless you take out a lot of weight or you have a whole lot of power.
