what should i run?

Hey guys this is my first post but ive been reading around for months.
im buying my neighbors 89 Formula Firebird Tpi 350 very soon and plan on taking it to the local track to see what it runs in the quarter.

right now its pretty stock. it has a flowmaster and 24lbs injectors ( i belive 22 lbs is stock) its auto 700r4 with 3:27 gears. im just wondering what i can expect to run in the quarter mile when i go im very curious. i cant wait to get the car and find out on my own.

thanks for any input.
Ricky

Wow, my '87 formula 350 which was stock besides an SLP cat back and cold air intake ran 14.2 the first time out and 13.5@100mph when I got it shifting and tuned right...

lol my 305 even runs low 15's probably 14's if better tuned. My buddy has an 89 gta and it runs 14.5 so I'd say anywhere between 14.2 and 14.6
