Default What will I run in the 1/4?

I have the following car/mods: What do you think I will be able to run in the 1/8th mile and the 1/4th mile?

Car: 1999 Z28 A4

Mods, etc.:

Airbox Lid w/ K&N, SLP smooth bellows, Hooker longtubes with ORY, Electric Cutout (Right after Y), 3.73 Strange Gears, Yank ST3500 Stall converter, TransGo Shiftkit, Predator Programmer Tuned, BFG Drag Radials, Eibach PRo Kit, Bilstien Shocks, FRAM, Warbird Ram Air (Cold Air, not sealed) Hood.

I was running a 13.0 before the Stall/shiftkit/headers . What do you think I will be able to run now if the weather is perfect? What will I run in normal conditions?


Do you think that I will be able to beat this car? :

Shelby Cobra Replica with a 289 bored to 305, stroked to 347. It has 450 hp at the engine. It is much lighter than my car, but I dont think it will be as quick.


Any opinions?

12.50's most likely.

You will not be able to beat the Shelby Cobra Replica.

We are racing the 1/8th mile. I think I will be half way down the track before he gets started. I rode in his car, diddnt impress me.

You think headers, shiftkit, 3500 stall, ory, will only give me .5 ? I figured at least I would be running 12.3
