More than that...I think if you can hook and drive good, a low 12 high 11 should be there. A friend of mine has pretty much the same mods, and he went 11.80s.

Forget about drag radials, you need bias-ply ET Streets. Shoot for 1.8 before you start thinking about 1.6 And if you have a stock clutch it won't last long. Good luck.

well, i used a gtech, and i let off before the run was over, so it was like 92mph, i dont have a track very close, its about 100 miles, i want to get up there, or find a nice road to use my gtech on.

since we are talking about clutches, i am just getting ready to do a build on my motor.

cam mti x1 230 227 | .591 .571 | 112
ported 799 casting ls2 heads
lifter

your g tech sems to be alittle off that 60 and mph is like a high 14 sec car soo i would get to track so u can get some accurate readings
by your sig i would think your like a mid to high 12 car at about 108mph with 2.0 60 on street tires
on some drags u could probly see some low 12s with around a 1.6 60 if u can launch your 6 speed

well, i used a gtech, and i let off before the run was over,

ran out of road, so i had to hit the brakes, if i would of stayed in it, i would of had probably over 110. i hit the brakes at 12.1 seconds according to the gtech playback.

Pffttt, fancy shocks and springs are overrated. I'm pulling 1.45s with Eibach Sportlines and stock shocks.

I have had very good luck with Spec clutches. Anything in the 1.6's with a mildly modified F body with a stick would be considered very good to me.

I agree.

You really need to go to a bias ply ET street or similar with that 6 speed.
