Id say if everything is dialed in right it has the porential to be in the 280-310whp area and track times all depends on if your a good driver how much experience you have weight of the car and what tires you run... as of now street tires tires 13.0-13.50 on a drag radial or slicks 12.3-12.7.

They are some meaty firestones..... exact kind idk..... and the exhaust isnt a flowmaster. That what the guy told me but i was underthere today because one of the heat sheilds on cat was making noise so i jb welded it. And its a magnaflow exhaust... real nice shiny looking mufflers and pipes and 3 or 4" tips.... i have a exhaust clip i shot thismorning and will put it on as soon as i have time to upload....

Also im fairly good at shifting it but i could use a short throw with a rod that moves it back a few inches before i go racing... sometimes i grind 3rd n 5th because it not all the way in gear because i need to sit all the way back.... i feel like a giant in it sometimes 6'3" 225lbs
