Going to the track next week, what will it run?

Well, looks like I'm going to the track for the first time next weekend so what should I expect my car to run? The track is at 490 feet and it'll probably be in the 90's but probably drop to the mid 70's when the sun goes down.
One thing that I'm not sure of just yet is the new converter stall speed. I'm in the middle of swapping transmissions and converters. The new transmission was built to go behind a 1000+ hp blown BBC in a 4000 lb car but the guy sold the car after only putting about 5 miles on the tranny. The car runs great, I have no idea what kind of hp and tq numbers I'm putting out but it pulls great up to 5,500 rpm. Specs are in the sig and thanks I'll post results when I get back.

I doubt I'll be in the 13's lol but then again, I dunno what a 13 second car feels like to drive to compair. Next fastest thing I've driven is a 12.17 car.
