Is it running yet?

I see power-robbing issues with the heads (compression), intake (horrible item, should never have been made) and exhaust (too small). I see 1/4-mile performance problems with the carb (demand-based secondaires), and stall (probably not enough).

Assuming the typical 3rd gen weight of 3600-3800 lbs w/driver, you're probably looking at low-14's/high-13's assuming you have decent traction.

The only way you're going to know is to run it.
