Default Question about at the track

Ok, so im gonna be going to the track to run my car for the first time. I dont know what RPM to shift at. my car doesnt like going past 5200 at all, and i think im gonna look and see if it is a timing issue, all the mods are in my sig, and my car has 115K on it.

I would guess high 14's, if you had a big step in gear like to a 4:10 with mt's you could get low 14's

grow *****, launch hard on tires and do quick shifts and youre ET will drop

almost 2yrs ago with 355s,OR hpipe and flows [no tails] went 13.38@101 this was in Nov. with 40* temps
today with 174k miles on the clock 410s,ETstreets and launching off the rev limter i went 13.33@101. shifting at 5k. tonight it was 55* when i ran it and car has alot more blowby and oil comsumption.

reason i stated thta is your car can possibly go 13s if you can drive!!!!!!!!!!!
