The calculator says you'd go 23.05 @ 57mph. hahahaha.

Nah j/k.

I'd say you'll go mid-low 12's easy. You'd need suspension mods to use the slicks, w/ efficiency. That's not alot of power, you'd have to drop it at a high rpm or it's just bog.

not really I dont have the 1st suspension mod my car pulls low 1.6s on bad prep.......not sayin suspension wont help but its not needed to go fast......if your talkin a 50 shot id look to gain 3-4 tenths and a couple mph.......

well i meen i wouldnt really look at slicks with the mods u have... some mt et street radials will be more than perfect... and why only a 50shot? go 125 or 150. also with a m6 ur rear end will not hold with slicks very long

I second the drag radials, I ahve the M/T's and they hook for my power. If I were you I'd cam it atleast, you could get close to 50rwhp easliy with a cam and supporting mods. Than give it a 100-150 shot, this is what I am gonna do.

yea im looking into getting a cam but im not for sure what one i want. Im thinking the
.581 or .595-.598 from texas speed the .595 estimates 50rwhp but im not sure if i should go as big as .581 since its a daily driver. Picking the right cam is hard.
