Default What "Should" it run?

I have a 2001 Formula LS1 with NO weight reductions ( just the way it came from the factory,Air cond. etc.) But it has some add ons: SLP cold air induction, SLP performance air box, SLP loudmouth catback exhaust, Pacesetter long tube headers, LS6 intake, 243 aluminum heads,ZO6 cam, stock A4 trans. and converter, 373 gears with skinnies on the front and 275x60x15 M/T radials in back. Gettin ready to race. Any ideas ( ballpark figures) what this car "SHOULD" run? Thanks

Hmm, the stock converter is going to hurt you, but I'm gonna guess a 12.4 @ 113. Throw in a converter and It would probably make it down to the 11s. Those tires are also taller than you need. Some 275/50s would be better.

Thanks MikeG I appreciate the info. Too late for the tires though cause I just bought them.Any idea what I should look for in a converter? So many converters so little time. Oh, and MONEY !!!

If I had it to do over again I would probably go with a Circle D 4C. 3600-3800 stall speed, billet lockup clutch. Everyone seems to love them.
