Can I go 13's???

My Notchback 4cyl to 5.0 conversion is just about done and I have been thinking about what it will run? Also what should I be running for 60' times. Ive been told high 13's but im doubting it. Hopefully i'll have it at the track by next month. Im itchin to drive this thing so bad.

On the Nittos, i'd say... 1.9xx - 2.10 60s, & 13.70-80s @ anywhere from 101-103 MPH. Don't rev the engine [if its stock heads/intake/cam] much past 51-5200 RPM [thats where they are done pulling] and make your upshifts nice and quick [or powershift] and you'll be there... Full drag slicks, 4500-5000 RPM launches, and some agressive driving like described above and your car has the capability to run very low 13s. Make sure you ice the plenum between runs and dont make a million heat soaked passes... 3 good passes in a night with long cooldowns in between ususally works best for me as far as getting the car cooled down, and getting the most, quickest ETs out of it.

Good Luck!
