I have $1 that says he won't do better than a 12.2 
. I don't think he has enough suspension to hook up good on those nittos, and I don't see that he has a stall. I think his 60' is going to suck but I may be wrong. I'd think with a stall, either better tires or drag type suspension he might go 11's but not as it sits.
Also the fact that he thinks low 11's is possible tells me that there is a lack of track experience. But like I said before I may be wrong.

your wasting a lot of time if your still on the stock converter..........i'll bet its holding you back BIGTIME.
get a 3500-3800 stall, and some very sticky tires, and you should run 11.7ish with a good d/a.......i know someone who ran a 12.1 on a 125 shot with a little fewer boltons than you (auto too) so its possible.......but that was at the same track where i ran a 12.883, so you never know.

i'll take that bet. if isn't running 12.1-12.3 consistently there is a problem with the driver. there are high 11's as his car sits, but he will have to drive the **** of of the car. if he changed his LCA and to a 70/30 shock strut thingy with a 9" slick with a 3200-3500 stall he'd pop 11's ALL DAY LONG

I don't think some people understand how much harder it is to go from the 12s to 11s when compared to 13s to 12s or anything slower. I don't think the OP has ever been to the track, and I just see all the bolt ons with some suspension mods...adding a 100 shot of nitrous won't get it into the 11's. That car might see mid 12s, but maybe the OP just had a typo.

I'll say mid 12, maybe low 12 if he can drive the car and get out of the hole really well. All I see for power making mods is an intake manifold, UDPs, plenum, and an exhaust. The OP would be very lucky to get 270-280 to the wheels with an auto. A stall and tires would be a must to get that thing in the low 12s consistantly. Maybe a bigger shot and a stall and the OP could reach 11s, but I doubt those nittos will be up to the task.

To tell the truth this summer will be my first time runnin at the track. The car made 287rwhp. And i dont have a stall "YET". I dont really like the fact that it takes more rpms to move the car because it's a DD. What tires do you guys recommend remember its a DD so i dont want slicks but i want something that'll hook when i add the 100 shot. Also what stall do you recommend and what brand?

290 rwhp through an auto with only those mods? You must have some kind of a freak because stock your car should get something like 220 rwhp. If it's your first time at the track even with the 100 shot I would be optimistic that you pull a very low 13. No offense, it's just the first trip to the track is usually a very humbling one.
