Default What times to expect?

I've never been to the track but will be having the following mods installed on my Z at the same time and am wondering how much faster it will feel and what possible times I could see at the track. Here's what I will be having put on:
LS6 intake, Whisper lid, SLP LTs, SLP ORY, Fuddle 4000 with 2.2, TRex cam with double roller timing chain. All this is going to be installed at the same time. I was also curious if you all thought that $1150 was a fair install price for all the above parts. It will be done privately, but it will still be a Master ASE Certified mechanic whose been with GM for 12 years.

Also being installed will be a tranny cooler, dbl roller timing chain and a 10 bolt girdle but those aren't for performance, just thought I'd add for those who are curious.

Never been to the track and you going all in. Alot of Mods.You will need GOOD tires to hook up. My guess would be 11.7's to 11.9's depending on your 60 ft time.

Wow that's pretty exciting. Well I wasn't planning on keeping the car a few months ago, but the insurance company didn't total it-they fixed it. And I got a settlement, so I get to make the car what it was meant to be =)

my previous set up was pretty much the same minus the intake and i went 12.0 on motor w/ a 1.58 60, but my car had some 3rd gear pullin issues... you should be in the 11s. remember you need that car to sixty foot its *** off to run strong. in an auto i dont think you will hit 11s on street tires unless your a God at drivin. good luck to ya...

So 10s with some spray shouldn't be a problem then?
