If you have never been to the track before, don't expect good times but if your an A4 it isn't that hard. My guess is around 13.4-13.5 with a 2.2 60ft.

Good luck!

My buddy has nearly identical set up to you.
00 z28 with Loumouth cat back, and a lid. He has 275 wide tires tho.
He also took out about 100 lbs of weight last time at the track. He ran 13.5's all night long. His best is a 13.3. I wouldnt expect much better.

i'm sure i could hit high 12's right now just with some street radials. it's mainly a daily driver so a stall might be a little too much.. but thanks for the suggestion

depends also on your elevation and humidity . . . i got a 13.2 with lt's, full exhaust full intake on street tires and a a shitty 60' time so i'm thinking 13.4 or 13.5 for you and a stall will help you

i have an 2002 ss 6 speed, i was running 13.3 108mph. no modiications done at the time i had just about no traction off the line i was launching about 3000. rpm. start with a set of drag radials yes a converter will def help i wouldnt go higher than a 2500 stll for street use. if you do get a good trans cooler. and start saving for a rear now these arent the strongest, altho it could last but just in case.

If a stall makes the street driving that much worse then why does everyone say get a stall and it will be more fun than driving a stick???

i can see a 13.1 if you hook. otherwise probably 13.3-13.5 or so.

also the rearend will be fine if you don't let it wheelhop. i pulled MANY MANY 1.6x 60' on the stock rear with 373s and a dif cover. car had 45k on it when i bought it and i think 63k on it when i sold it. the last 15k miles weren't what you'd call easy haha.
