what to expect i picked up a 2000 WS-6 M6 stock 3.42 rear end. stock airbox K&N filter.
What should I be running in a 1/4 miles this spring? I mean estimates obviously. low 13s? I am getting a 3" flowmaster cat back soon, but want to run it stock first for base line. In Chicagoland the tracks don't open until may. Might as well know what to expect before I get there to find out if there are any surprises

It depends on how much drag racing experience you have. If you're pretty green, I would go expecting 14.0, and if you do better, that's great.
Many people, including myself, were disappointed with their times first time out. It took me 5-6 trips to finally get inline with where I thought I should be.
With my second drag car, thing fell into place a lot easier from experience.
Covering all the bases on the car - thorough tuneup, make sure the rear tires are not old and hard, etc will give you the best chance.
Good luck!
