Default What do you think my car would run in the quarter mile?

Well I usually get annoyed when people ask what there car would run in the quarter but I want to get an idea what I will run. My car is in perfect running condition and has 88,000 miles.
Here is a list of things that should affect the time because of weight etc?
245/45/R17 tires on cobra wheels
13" Baer brakes and calipers front and rear
5 lug conversion
Tremec Transmission
Short throw shifter
3.55 gears
Cold air intake
Underdrive pullies
JBA shorty headers
Bassani offroad X pipe
Magnaflow Catback exhaust
foglight bar removed(heavy)
aluminum driveshaft
spare and everthing in trunk removed
Fiberglass hood
165 pound driver

Thanks guys please just give me a pretty good Idea what I could run

1 more thing about what hp and torque would my car have to the crank and to the wheels my brother told me probley about 260hp to the crank? Would my gearing be pretty close to stock with the 245's because my friends has stock tires and 3.73's and you can feel a big difference taking off, would 4.10's be horrible on the highway?
