If I tell you 15's, it might get your hopes up. If you want to know what it will run, take it to a track and find out.

I wouldn't worry about getting your hopes up for 15's. With all you have done to that car, i think it could see 14's pretty easily.

That seems like a lot of effort for the minimal gain you will see.

Not to mention the $ spent on top of all that effort. Why not just find you a better motor, stick it on a stand, and start building? I have been piecing mine together for about 7 or 8 months now. But I know it will be worth it in the end. I think you'd be alot better off, and happier if you made a project motor. Just MHO though. See sig.

If the tuning is right 14's would be easy. Go to the track and let us know.
