Default How big of an improvement should this b ???

K at the moment my car is in my buddies shop getting all the parts i bought over the winter in .. The car is a 92 GT aod convertible and ran a best of 15.02 at 93mph. with basically just an X pipe, flowmasters , CAI and underdrive pullies.

It is currently having the following installed :

Ford Racing 410 gear
TCI Torque converter ( 3000 stall lock up with anti ballooning plate)
B&N transmission cooler
BBK Shorty headers
A/C eliminator bracket
Subframe connectors , strut tower bar and drive shaft loop

I'm just wondering what i should run now ... is high 13's unrealistic on a street tire AND how will the seat of the pants feeling compare to before ??

plez all opinions welcome its cool if im not gonna b that happy with the new stuff..... but the parts costed me a bunch so i hope they help alot

seat of the pants will be a huge difference. high 13's shouldnt be a problem at all, just depends on what street tires you have. they are 60,000 mile street tires and there are drag radials. both street tires but a world of difference when it comes to traction

I'm also guessing low 14

Do you remeber what your 60' time was when u ran the 15.02?
