low 14's if u get the hang of it and with street tires your not gonna want to stomp the gas your gonna want to find that happy medium with letting the clutch out and the right rpms to do so.

have fun.

I suggest start your launching at around 1000rpms until you get the hang of it with street tires. You could try at some stop lights before you go to get somewhat of an idea what you can do. If you do a burnout before hand you should be able to launch a little hard at the track. Just don't put your foot to the floor as soon as you launch..you main just end up burning the tires off. Practice is what it is all about my friend.

I had the same setup on my car before I added the blower. I hit the waterbox and pulled 2nd gear burnouts to heat my low pro street tires. As soon as you see that last yellow bulb......MASH on it! I left the line at about 2000rpm. Dont over rev it or you will be in the 15 second margin. My first run with your setup was a 15.7 , once i knew what I was doin I was running 14.30's all night. have fun
