Well like my dear old pappy used to say "Hope in one hand and **** in the other " see wich one fills up first.

but seriously low 14's.... your still a few mods away on street tires, more than likely.

I got a 92 lx. I haven't made a pass with my new tranny, but when I had the following mods and my t-5 I ran a 13.4 @ 102mph in the 1/4.... 4:10's, electric fan, electric waterpump, cold air intake, bbk equal length shorty headers, underdrive pulleys, mac 2.5" offroad h pipe, magnaflow 2.5" exhaust, steeda superlite drag springs, steeda adjustable upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, (line-lock and drive shaft loop) and a set of 26x10 hoosier slicks. Power-shifting every gear at 6 grand, crossing the line at about 5800 in 4th. Hope it helps!

ok guys thanks.. the guy who i bought it from said its possible that the motor was bored .30 and might have other mods because it ran a supercharger before he got it. i know my camaro runs mid 13's day in and day out and this feels faster. might be the 4.11's tho lol

It would be to hard to say because depending on the elevation, size and traction of your tires, actual power of your car, actual weight of the car, driver weight and weight transfer of the car you could be anywhere in the area of 13.5 to 15.5. Most of the guys I know who run around this area and we are close to sea level run around 13.8s at just over 100mph with the regular bolt on's and drag radials and 4:10s and most of these guys have 500+ passes under their belts. They have minimal cost in their cars and have a blast running against all their buddies running near stock 5.0s and the 3rd gen Camaro crowd as well as the 600 hp dyno queen 14 second inports.
