Default is my car 12 capable yet?

its a 91 lx with cai, 73mm mass air, 75mm t body, cobra intake, gt40x heads, b303, 1.6 rollers, shorty headers into catted x pipe and flows, 3.55's, tko trans, 6al with blaster2 coil, and a/c and smog removed. cant wait to take it to e-town after a few more maintenance items,severely needs tires and need a radiator overflow tank. was wondering if it will be faster than my previous 02 gt that went 13.5 at 103. thanx

Only real way to know is take it to the track, or you can buy a G-tech.

Whats the car weigh? What HP are you putting down to the wheels? What kind of tires? Shocks? Springs? Launch RPM? Gear? Shift point? Control arms? How do you drive?

Get back to us.
