Atco or Maple Grove? I think you'll run a best of a 14.0-14.2 if you run at Maple Grove and a tenth or so better if you run at Atco. What gears and size stall you putting in? I did 3.73's I think you would like them alot, I shoulda went with a stall first because I had to do two gear swaps because I stripped the teeth of my ring gear so I had to spend basically the same money as a stall so much for doing the cheaper route first and now i have 3 sets of gears on my hands

Did you do the gears yourself?
always issues that stop me
(traction or bogging) 
my best so far is 14.0 101mph i did this on zr1 wheels furtura tires @18 psi. i hoping to skip 13's all together with a little help from NX and BMR, that is if i can get these lca bolts and torque arm bolt loose

to give you a comparison, a friend recent bought a 96 T/A Convertible with 30k on the odom, auto with 2.73' In great shape, no recent matience but in top shape, BONE stock and was weighed at 3585 pounds w/ driver.
ran 14.6 @ 96, in warm, humid weather on real street tires. He is a great driver. He had a 2.1X 60 foot. We are not sure about the weight, it seemed light but other cars were recent weight at LVD's track and was on the money, go fig.
I would assume you can pull off a low 14 @ 99-101 mph
