depeds on a lot of things, but assuming a good driver and good track prep, i'd say 13.1-13.2's.

In 2000 I purchased a brand new T/A m6 and did the same mods you are asking about and ran 12.70's with nothing else but the lid and cutout on the stock tires.

I see you are in Houston, were your results on a great weather day? His results will vary depending on location.

Exactly, what did you run before the mods? You can't just go by what someone on the internet said they ran. You are in California and chances are you will not run what someone ran in Texas. Most likely you will not have the same conditions as what they ran in. Where did you take your car to the last time you were out? The defunct Carlsbad? I would say your times will drop by .2-.3 depending on how good of a driver you are and how well the track is hooking on that day.

Wife's car-2001 Formula A4 2.73 gear - Ran a 13.02 1/4 @ 107 mph with a lid and magnaflow muff. Ran an 8.7 1/8 @ 83 mph with a lid and a cut-out (sorrry no 1/4 mile times).

My car-2002 Z28 M6 3.42 gear - Ran an 8.6 1/8 @ 84 mph with a lid and LTs

I raced my wife and ended up beating her every time by a 1/10 or so! I guess I need to learn how to shift faster or switch over to A4!
