Default LQ9 1998 z28, What should it run?

I have a 1998 camaro z28, A4 with everything pretty much stock (rear end, gears, mainfolds, y-pipe) but it has a 04 LQ9, with 806 heads, flowmaster cat-back and cut-out. I wanna see if anybody has a guess at what it should in the 1/4th with 245/50/16 all season street tires? any ideals?

that's what im hoping for, and to be in the mid 12s with some nitto 555s. I haven't had chance to get to the track due to work, but any tips on launching it on the all season tires? I been playing with and without the asr on, can't tell with is faster.

yea i had to find out the hard way lol, but with my ls1 i could stall up to 1300rpm and take off pretty good with asr on. But that does work with the lq9 lol, but ill probably just wait till I get better tires, thanks for your imput, and nasty car by-the-way, hoping i can get there one day
