Default What should my expected quarter mile time be?

I haven't been able to get to the track yet, but the mods I have are as follows:

MAC O/R Prochamber
SLP LM II
Motive 4.10 gears
K&N SRI
Steeda Tri-ax

So what should I expect? I am a pretty decent driver so what SHOULD I be running with those mods?

Need DRs. On street tires, I'm guessing 13.6 - 13.8, as 1st gear is mostly useless with 4.10s on street tires.

What will be the track altitude and temp? ALSO lower your tire pressure!

It depends:
1.If you have been to the track before and have had your car awhile and are used to it, you will prolly run 13.8s or 13.9s on street tires.

2. If you have never been to the track expect low 14s.

+1 with the low 14's if its yoru first time, its not as easy as you belive and your mods dont really add alot of et. improving horsepower, gears help less than you think @ the track w/out slicks, its only good for street driving and showing off for your buddies

Don't lower air pressure on stock tires. Keep the recommended air in the rear tires and add some air to the front tires to help eliminate some rolling resistance.

Expect to run 14's until you get the hang of the car & track.

Capable of mid-high 13's with your minor mods.

Slicks? Let's be realistic. A 230-240RWHP isn't going to fry the tires out past the 330 because it has the power to do so, even with 4.10's. A respectable street tire will allow 4.10's to work their magic, however to get everything out of the gears...a sticky tire will be needed and a basic DOT legal drag radial will be just fine.
