Default What should it run?

This has been a long time coming for me and I hope my patience and hard work have paid off. I'll be taking my '94 Z to the track on Saturday for it's first shakedown passes since modding. I want to know what you guys think I'll run. Mods are as follows:

Hooker longtubes w/ ORY
3" Flowmaster catback
Richmond 4.10s
TH350 with PTC 4000 stall
CSR electric WP
Crane gold 1.6s
KYB adjustables on all four corners

No A/C,
No power steering,
No back seat,
No spare tire,
No jack,
No sound deadoning material
No front sway bar

Weld prostars all around with 275/60 15 BFG Drag Radials in rear.

I'm shooting for an low 1.8 to high 1.7 60' and hope to trap around 80-82

Please tell me what you think it will do.

No way....12.8's are easy to come with our cars....He'll be lower than that. There is a local guy with a 97 Formula WS6 that has way less mods then he does running a 12.9. He also has full race weight. This guy has a good chunk of weight reduction. I say a 12.4.

Just set the front shocks loose and the rears pretty tight and heat the tires up real good.
You will have to figure out if the TC wants to be stalled up or flashed off idle.
I think 1.7s should be easy if the track is there.

Mid 12s if everything works out well.

Do you still have the stock cam?

If so I say you should run around 12.8 to 13.0.

The track is an 1/8th mile track for a little clarification.

i think that a 4000 stall is to much for a stock cam and the car will probably run a mind 13 at best, just my opinion, get a cam and you should be in the 12's
