Newb: "how fast am I?"

I hate asking "how fast would I be in the 1/4?", but I'm married, so it's damn near impossible for me to spend $15 and 3 hours on a friday going to a TNT session and night doing something that I want to do.

My car is a 1994 M6 camaro with 70K miles. It has a K&N intake with a moroso polished elbow, a flowmaster catback, and 3.73 rear gears. I have a set of MT drag radials, but I would still probably only cut a 2.0 60'. I live pretty close to sea level.

Any speculation? I would love to run a 13.99, but the car just seems to fall on it's face at 5000rpm.

You're doing something wrong if the best 60 you can get with MT radials is 2.0.

If you can hook there's no reason you shouldn't be in the 13s if the car is running well.

I've got 5 years behind the wheel of my turbo v6. It had NO TORQUE below 4000rpm. I could never do better than 1.9x with it. Since I'm not used to this car, I don't imagine I'll do any better than 2.0 for my first few runs. I'm a newb to v8 torque.
