Default 3.8 track estimates

I have a 2001 3.8L with dual exhaust, intake, headers, throttle body spacer, and it's tuned. I'm wondering what I should run in a quarter. I also just purchased a t3 turbo kit for my car and I'm wondering what I should have hp and track time. Thanks

Is your car auto or manual? probably low 15s if auto, high 14s is stick and a good driver.

A turbo will require bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, and a new tune for the computer. With all that added, you should see low to mid 13s.

Is your car a stick? or auto? If stick I'm gonna say low 15's and maybe high 14's if you're a good driver. auto low 15's
