probably somewhere in the 13s if it is tuned and you have good traction.

some more gear (3.73s or 4.11s) would help ET, but not traction, so get some good tires at the very least.

Providing even 92 octane isn't detonating in the 11:1 compression engine. That's a little high even for pump gas.

Even though he's at sea level I doubt the car will get into the 13's because of too many mismatched parts but the only way to find out is to take it to Mission's track and find out.

well thats a good thing because, without it you would likely have to set your timing at 0 to get that thing to tun without pinging; and neither detonation or timing at set at 0 will help ET or horsepower

Hey there, another Abby boy! I haven't seen your car around town yet, but mine is the ugly red one with the gold gfx. I'm not insured right now, but this time next year, we'll see you on the road!
