Default Alot of mods getting put on. Estimated 1/4??

How's it going guys. Ill be returning home from Afghanistan in about two and a half months. Needless to say, I'm treating myself and my T/A to some toys when I arrive. I have alreayd began ordering parts, and will have everything waiting for me to get home.

I have already ordered or will be ordering the following :

-TSP 1 3/4 headers, TSP catted Y, SLP LM1, and 6LE corsa clones.
-SLP lid, LS6 intake, and TB ported/polished by SilberGhost
-Dyno Tune by Speed Inc
-Koni 4/4 Adjustable shocks and strano springs
-Strano hollow sway bars
-UMI double adjustable LCA's with relo brackets
-UMI double adjustable panhard bar
-UMI 3 point SFC's
-UMI adjustable torque arm with relocation kit

The car is currently bone stock and have 66k miles. A4 car. I will be installing all of the parts within the month of being home.

Just curious as to what everyone thinks I should be running in the 1/4. I am also interested in getting into some SCCA autox just for fun, which would explain the route I am taking with my suspension.

I am hoping for mid 12's. What does everybody think?

I have pretty much that same exact setup and I run mid 12's pretty consistant with my m6. When you do the headers make sure to change out the motor mounts. Also I wouldnt bother with the high flow cats. Just go with an off road y pipe. It sounds meaner and its alot cheaper. So with the right stall / gearing I think 12s should be no prob

Won;t have funds for a stall right now. Probably will have to wait until next year and I will buy that at tax return time.

I ran a 12.9 in my '99 SS with full exhaust and a lid, on street tires. So im hoping the full exhaust, intake, TB, suspension, and toyo TQ's will be enough for mid 12's

Mid 12s easy with traction, honestly I would be looking at 12.2 or 12.3.

for reference - My DD is an 02 SS, cheap ory, cutout, slp lid, tune and I run 12.6 at 109. With headers I should be in the 12.4 range. Then I'm going to do skinnies and a little weight reduction, shooting for 12.2s.

I'd sure hope it will be faster than that. I ran 12.9's with my exhaust only '99 SS, untuned.
