depends on where you live..

faster at sea level on a cool day with high BARO and low humidity.. slower on a hot day in the mountains with a low baro and high humidity.. so who knows????

BTW moved to talk, this is not tech..

everyone's learning curve is very different & the track is MUCH different than the street. so, there's absolutely no way of answering that

fwiw, i gained 3 tenths the first time down the track (1/8th) on my last non-pi car when i added 4.10's. the farthest i got it down is 4 tenths total

when i first got my 98 i took it to the track and ran a 9.9 best put in the 4.10 and got a 9.4 while slipping most the way through first and part of second. best thing to do is get gears, MM full length sfc, tires, then swap the PI cams and PI intake.

I can't wait to run this spring with the mods i have done this winter
