Default what do you think my car will run in the 1/4?

I just found out that the local track is opening back up for next season... ( Gateway International Raceway) over in Madison IL. I plan on going to see where I stand.. I really dont know what to expect from it.. The best I ever got out of my 99 camaro was 12.0's at 114 with bolt ons and high 10's on the bottle. Do you think low 12's to high 11's is possible? I plan on dropping the air in the ET's down to about 18-20 lbs and push the front up to about 40lbs. After I get a baseline with current set-up plan on going with relocation brackets and possibly a Stage 2 blower cam. I am right at 9.2 lbs of boost, how much more can I throw at it before I should get nervous? What is the general consensus on OD crank pulley? I am saving for a forged short block right now, just dont want stock block to go due to my ignorrance. Any tips or ideas would be welcomed...

Running your car cool I would think lower 12s. Only 11s if the DA is very good IMO. Not sure if MT DRs are as good as MT ET streets (bias ply) grips like a sticky sumbitch.

hmmm.. your numbers seem a kinda low for a roots blower. Nevertheless, because of the torque converter and driveshaft, I am pretty sure you'll be happy with your times.

I have a butt load of power, but I am literally SITTING at the light when I am literally flooring it and trying to break the tires loose... nothing, not even a squeek until 2800rpm.

I have 4.10s and I thought they was enough.. apparently not! lol

808 I agree 100% about the old MT's bias style hooking better than the new style radials.. My old 99 bucket was just a bolt on... 3500 Vigilante triple disc, convertor, 3.73's Dynatech LT's, Z06 intake,SLP UD crank pulley, Whisper Air lid, Randon Technalogy adjustable torque arm-adj lca, dyno tune.. I could on a regualr basis bang out 1.61 ft on the motor and 1.57 on the bottle out of the hole.. That was on the bias ply ET Street.

I am right at 450 give or take a few on a Dynojet chassis dyno.. Kurt my tuner told me that when I go with the cams should put me around 430-440 on the Mustang and a little over 480 on a Dynojet. He said anythig more that that would be on borrowed time with a stock lower end.
