Default Going to the track again soon, predictions this time?

okay a little info:

Ran a 13.4 @ 109mph 2.21 60'

was on shitty street tires @ 30psi (no traction)

96 degree weather, drove 1.5 hours to the track and ran three times first being my best time

now ill be headed back again

since then I've added an electric cutout (good for a few hp?)

and will be on ET street radials on probably about 16 psi

and it will be about 55 degrees out, and ill be trailering the car there

just want a basic goal to have, was pretty disappointed last time I went.

based on the time you ran sounds like its close to stock. My guess would be -.3 ET by adding a cut-out and radials

You should be able to run better then 13.4 just with the mods you have, maybe the radials will make a bigger difference then I first thought. I would look in to a tune and relocation brackets next to drop the 60'. What RPM are you launching at?
