bone stock i went 14.3 at a track here in az, so since you have a few more performance upgrades you should break into the high 13's as long as you get a good launch and 60' time. Good luck and let us know what you run.

13.8's now, the shift kit and drag radials should get you in the 13.4 range. then add headers and gears, you should see upper 12's. Then a cam, for mid low 12's. then rebuild the motor and do h/c/i from le, should see mid 11's. It's a viscious cycle LOL!

I think you'll make 13s for sure. My 94 Formula went 14.27 @ 98 mph on a 2.2 60ft, with a K&N panel filter. I honestly thought the car was gone stock, til I looked in the air box. This was in the heat of Aug. Oh and at Capitol Raceway.

13.9-14.2 depends on the condition of the car and track.
