With 13 pounds of boost, you should get into the 12's. With 12 psi, I was running 12.8's, on stock converter, drag radials, and 373 gears. But as it got hotter, boost will call off and your times will slow.
Have fun! It's a blast blowing away V8's with a lil'o v6!!!

Glad to hear you like it. I love seeing 6ers beat v8s, it shows them that they are not untouchable.

Well, let us know how your times come out once you get it tuned to its prime.

That's a certainty, can't wait to get it to the track. But after I get the break in miles first, however many that might be. I see some long roadtrips in my future! I do have the Dynolicious app on my iPod to measure performance time and hp. I just took more '05 to the dragstrip last week, so I'm no stranger there.

Delmar us 13 ! I hate running there , but its only 4 miles from my house
All they do is bracket racing , you know , you get two time trial runs . then its bracket racing
I thought it would b better to go to test in tune .....zero ! everyone only got three runs in !
not much of a test and tune if you make a mistake .....like spinning the tires !!! he he he
