Have you ran it yet? 12.7 @ 107

EDIT: If you can really drive of course

maybe a 13.0 @ 106...

High 12's/low 13's is my guess

If you can cut a 1.7 - 1.8 60', i think you'll b in 12's easy IMO

I was in the mid 13s on street tires i didnt think it was worth while to keep the slips cause i was so frustrated running on street tires haha. Especially after the gears. Now that i have slicks im hoping for very low 13s and maybe break into the 12s.

With that much power at the wheels, you should be trapping near 108-109 no problems.

My 98 had about the same power (if not a lil less) and was running 12.8-12.9 @ 108 on street tires.

If you have the suspension setup good, and can get the launch down (I'd try a 5000 rpm side step) you should pull 12.60s

yeah im trying to get a better dyno tune. Im hoping to break 300rwhp with that cause this tune was with the rear brakes dragging a little and the idiot that built the motor didnt put a pilot bearing in so you couldnt go over around 4750rpms or else it would shake violently and he didnt even touch the timing. So im hoping for around 310ish maybe more cause im gonna go with some more aggressive cams as well.

As for launching ive never done it on slicks before. Will my axles hold up with launching that high? Its my DD so i cant afford to break anything right now til i get a beater car to drive around. haha
