Do you have a proper tune? And what is a plasma booster?

I would say if you can hook (60' in the 1.7-1.9 range) then you should be around 13.7

WHAT? 13.7?!?!?!?!?!!?

So far off, I'm running 13.7's with not even half the mods he has. If he can drive he should expect low low 13's on street tires, possible high 12's with sticky tires.

He has an auto with stock stall converter. Check out www.modulardepot.com in my opinion the best informative website for these type of questions. But based on what he has it will be around a 13.7, now if he had a 3200 converter, some DR's, and some suspension, and a SCT tune by Ed Clark, I'd see no reason not to see mid-high 12's out of it easily.

You guys should try being far more detailed with your explanations as to what you believe they will run. Auto's run about a tenth or two slower than a good 5 speed driver, it will actually benefit him in his case, especially with 4.10's.

I would expect mid 13's and lower 13's with practice. A tune will help.

I am pretty close to as modded as he is, I don't have gears, and I was running 9.0-9.2 in the 1/8 mile on 17x8 street tires. I was haveing a big problem hooking up. My 60' times were in the 2.1-2.2. So I would bet that he will run 13.8-14.2 depending on if he can hook up. Do you have slicks/dr? If you don't have good tires and are running on stock rims 17x8 I am going to say that you are going to have one hell of a time hooking up and you will be rinning closer to 14.0. Go run it and have fun!!! and let us know what you do run, I am going to be putting in 4.10 gears in the near future!!!
