Man I know this get's asked alot but with the mods I have and with a decent driver what would be a good 1/4 mile time for my gt.

I would guess a 12.9 or a 13.0 depending on the 60' time. But that's just a guess. What kind of power are you getting to the ground?

Do you really think low 13's? Sinister have you heard any good things about the Trick Flow intakes. Man I am torn between a intake or nitrous but I am leaning more towards nitrous since the car has become a track and and a once in a while driver. With a 100 shot could I see low 12's?

With some sticky tires and good driving I could see as low as a 13.0. More likely in the 13.2 range though. Throw a 100-125 shot on there as well and low 12's are possible. I'd suggest just going to the track and practicing a lot before you get nitrous. Once your consistently cutting solid 60' times then slap on the nitrous just so you know exactly how big of a difference it made. Thats one thing I wish I had done when modding my old mustangs

With really cool weather I could see a very high 12 second glory pass.

With a 100 shot you'd definitely be in the 12's, but I don't know about low 12's. If you are tuned for the cams (I imagine you are) and you are a good driver and get traction, with your mods I don't see why you shouldn't be able to pull a very low 13, maybe 13.0. You have pretty much the same mods as me with the addition of the cams (but I do have 4.30's to help me move), so I would imagine you would be at least a couple tenths quicker than me. But one never knows.

Only way to find out is to take it to the track and see what happens.
