Honestly, it's hard to just tell someone what they should be running in the 1/4 because every car is different. The mods that you have may all work together and you may make more horsepower than someone w/ the same exact mods w/ different specs or from a different company, but there is a quarter mile calculator at the top of this forum if you want to check it out, I've tried it but I don't really know how accurate it is. But if you really want to know what you should be running, get out and run it.
