What is your gear ratio?..Is the trans stock?...The rear gear ratio and the stall speed of your torque convertor will play a huge role in your ET...With those engine mods you should be well into the 13s if you have the correct supporting parts in the rest of the drivetrain..I would guesstimate you are at 300-325hp..I would strongly recommend you run the performer RPM or an air gap intake over the performer though..The performer isn't much of an improvement over stock..With the rest of the parts that you have the rpm/air gap would be a much better matchup..
