well first off congrats. I would think mid to high 14s are possible. All depends on how good you are with a stick.

LOL, we all start somewhere.

I'd you're lookin at high 14s most likely, if you're good with a stick.

Eh, thats another story for now, practice, practice, practice.

Since I didn't do the photoshop, I'll have to talk to my friend to have him make it smaller.

He used photoshop just to do that?

Go to Paint open the file, and click ctrl+w then resize to about maybe 40% and then reupload it, and go from there.

I'll give it low to mid 15's. If it's a 3.08 rear, then its not a dual cat, 230 hp 305, which run high 14's to low 15's. Get some 3.42s or 3.73s and you'll be right there in the 14's.

Good point, if it were a G92 optioned (did birds have that too) it would run mid 14s, but most likely low 15s.

No, unfortunately its not G92. I would buy some 3.73s, but I don't have any money now. Thanks to everyone for the comments.

LB9 is a 305 TPI. L98 or B2L is a 350.
