I'm going to the track this weekend...

Alright I finally got this car running right, damn this thing is more touchy than Elanore. But I was wondering what you guys think my car will run or should run this weekend... And if you have any tips fill me in

Motor specifications in signature
700r4 (slowly shifting into second)
Shifting at 5800 on factory tach or 55mph and 100mph
10 bolt posi w/2.73 gears

I have 245's 50R16 for tires
My timing is set to where there is no hesitation to light throttle and i have a vaccum advance dist.

My motor will be running at 160 degrees.

Low 14's. Maybe a high 13. The diff gears, street tires and stock converter are killing you.
