14.30 if you hook up and have a 3.23 gear. 14.6 if you dont hook up and/or have a 2.70something gear. good luck and have fun regardless of time! and remember the cars are never as fast as you'd like them to be!

low 14's should be doable if ok traction, but with decent street tires and stock converter, it should hook up ok. If not roll into the throttle abit more.
Try stock timing and get a feel for the launch, then try adding 2 more deg to the base timing and see what happens. It should/may pick up

Low 14s with good track prep and a good launch. 
L98s come out of the hole pretty quick! Have fun man. Oh, and depending on the DA you might not run as good as normal with a lower DA.
