1/4 with some stickys Id say you'd be damn close to 12's
and BOOOOO on the Nittos everyone who has them it seems to be 50/50 if you hook just order some ET radials from Mickey Thompson I think the Nittos were 340 to the MT being 400 and if you take them off and only use them for the track they will last a longggggg time and be more consistent.
But yeah man I'd say realllly close to 12's with a good DR
and is it tuned?

Not tuned, yet. I plan on doing a Shift kit, and Stall before I go to PCMForless.
What "free mods" does the average LT1 owner do, I keep reading about "Free Mods" and i dont know what they are....

Well with street tires and a stall you will be ate by honda on the road because you will not grab the street at ALL period. And the A4's are a lot nicer on the 10 bolt then the M6s for sure I wouldn't be afraid until you go changing the internals and heads and stuff.

I had the same bolt ons with a tune and mine put down 284/312. They only pick up like 7 HP from the stock tune on mine. That setup on street tires ran a best of 8.36@85 in the 1/8 and 13.05@107 in the 1/4 and managed to click off a 1.83 sixty. I would venture to say you should atleast be close to 270 or better.

I had a M6 and dynoed 301rwhp. I forget the TQ, Mods were, SLP CAI, Hooker long tubes, mufflex y-pipe, hooker Cat back w/cut out. Electric water pump, pulley, LT4 KM, free mods.
No tune at all, for an auto id say any where from 280-290 is possible.

somethings wrong when you look at a drag radial and its "rain" capabilities. Thats all i can say about that. The et street radial is far superior to the nt555r. If need be would you rather drive slower in rain or perhaps stop untill its done, or run inconsistant times at the track? Nt555r drag radial is a street tire to me, yes its a street legal drag radial but i think nitto geared it more towards the street then the track compared to MT ET street radials.

I think I'm one of the few guys who thinks this way, but I could care less about the 1/4 mile time, but I do care about the trap speed. And like others say, I don't care too much about what the dyno says. If I dyno my car and it says 300whp, i could care less because I know I still trapped 110 which puts me in the ball bark of about 340whp. I honestly don't know why so many guys care about 1/4 mile times when they aren't even racing for competition. Honestly it's not fun running 13's or 12's or even 11's, or 10's in a straight line. Once you break 10's that might be pretty exciting. But otherwise I like to just have power. It's fun when your cruising around to have power or when you get into curvy roads, but straight line 12 second cars is ehhh, not exciting to me.
There's too much emphasis on 1/4 mile times with people who don't even drag race competitively. I've ridden a 9 second bike that could probably go 8's with the right suspension and that was super, super crazy exciting. Makes any super car besides the veyron seem really weak.

I think my 13 sec (hopefully 12 now) car is fun as hell to drive at the track.
But when your car loses to a car with less HP then what? cool you trapped 110 but you ran a 12.9(not saying your cars ET is 12.9 just a reference). The real bragging can be done at the track not by what the dyno says.

Badazz-havent dynoed yet. Waiting for the info on dyno day. Hopefully my car runs by then.
Ramair-i was hoping you'd post, what do you think rwhp?
