Default what kind of Hp and time am I running

I know its hard to say for sure but I am wondering what kind of horsepower I may be running and what time i will be doing on the track. This is my first year at the track with this car but have been racing for years. Opening weekend is next week and I have not installed my roll bar yet. Just curious if i might be able to get away without it for a few weeks.
I have an 01 gt convertible automatic
complete mac exhaust.. prochamber with cats and cat back
predator tuner
bbk underdrive
bbk 75mm throttle body and plenum
weight reduction (rear seats, AC system, mac stereo, spare tire and brackets)
k&n air intake
synthetic oil
110 octaine fuel
4:10

You have about 240 rwhp. Why are you running 110 octane?

i think its 110.. it might be a little lower. I have always run racing fuel when drag. Is this not good to do with mustangs

no idea on hp but depending on manual trany or not you should be running around high 13's. Mine's an 03 gt auto and it's running around the 14.0 range with roughly the same parts listed there.

depending on how you hook and your 60' you should be mid to high13s or low 14s.

its extremely bad to run 110 octane with stock pistons on any engine, are you crazy, put the 87 octane back in

There is no reason for you to run "race" fuel in your car. Race fuel doesnt have nitrous in it or anything it just has a higher resistance to detonation. Which means you are not burning all of it because the temp in the combustion chamber is not high enough. You will get alot of carbon build up and your O2s are going to die. When you raise your compression or get some sort of FI stick with 87.
