street tires? First time out? 14.0

you need: drag radials, rear ca's, stall converter

I predict 13.8 unless you're going with drag radials. Then 13.5.

If you're very experienced at the track, I would say maybe 13.4.

OP that 13.5 this car is advertised at, is like running a three minute mile, esp on street tires...

I couldn't launch above 1500rpm's on my "fat" street tires. I installed a set of Mickey DR's and I can now launch at 4k with no tire spin. My et's went from approx 14 to 13.65. Street and track are completely different as far as traction goes. I doubt you'll be able to lanch about 2k rpm's with your street tires. Good luck, I'd love to see you get that low 13.

Also, I have a 93 race tune from B A M A and lca's set to the agressive low setting. I have tokico's that I adjust stiff on the back and soft on the front and I run with no front sway bar to promote weight transfer. 2 things holding me back; driver skill and the track has a slight incline.

I ran a 13.7 @ 105mph with the mods in my sig. I launched at 2000rpm with out any spin after scuffing the tires a little. I'm sure the O/R H-pipe helped alot so I think on a cool day like friday is supposed to be you might be right around the 13.8-14.0 range. I'm going on friday too and am hoping to run a 13.3-13.4.
