Its probably going to be a heavy car, 6-speed isn't good for drag racing, you will either break the rear, or break the driveshaft...both will eventually break, with a hard launch, especially with a procharger....car will probably weigh close to 3900 with you in it, or heavier all depending on what you weigh....

I would say higher up in the 11's with descent driving...

I say hi 11s.If you drive the car hard,meaning 6000rpm clutch dump powershifting you will smoke your clutch,break you 10-bolt maybe both at the same time.You would need a bunch more stuff realize your full potential.

With 4.11's, slicks, skinnies, 12-bolt, aftermarket clutch, suspension, and a little weight reduction, I'd say low to mid 11's. With only a 10-bolt, and stock clutch, stock suspension, high 11s.
A 12-bolt and some good gears makes a TON of difference in a 6-speed car.

Yeah what he said! You will also need slicks and good clutch if you plan on dumping it at 6000rpms!!!
