It depends on who you are and how much your willing to do, but my car has gone 12.5s with similar mods (I run stock heads, with GT-40 valves) and 12.9 on radials. The suspension on that car sounds like it might hurt more than help at the track, so figure mid 13s out of the car. Maybe a decent cam, and some drag radials and the car should go into the 12s!

thanks.. do you know what i could do different on the suspension to make it better for the track?

sounds like it's there already there...i wouldn't change anything in the suspension til run it.

get a set of stickies, and try it...it should be good for about 12.70-12.90 as is.

do you guys know of any other mods other than sticky tires that would help to bring my 1/4 times down?

I'd say with that combo, it'll be more like 13.3-13.5 second car. You want 12's with that, just get yourself a Zex nitrous kit. It's alot more user friendly, for the first time nitrous user.

Theres a chance for mid 12s if it hooks on a tire. But sometimes its better to expect slower and try for better. Your first time out it probably wont go to fast, till you find the best shift RPM, and such!
