I have the following mods and about 1000 miles on the new engine and unfortunately I don't think there's a 1/4 mile track within 50 miles of me. There is an 1/8 mile which I plan on running this summer, but it's not really what I'm was hoping for.

What times do you think I can honestly expect in the 1/4? I've removed about 300 lbs of crap from the car as well; factory driveshaft, rear bumper, A/C and smog delete.

The car feels damn fast, but only e.t.'s are where the proof is. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

if you have the 325 rwhp thats in your sig along with some good driving, i think that with some traction you could easly run in the mid to low 12's... good luck!!!!

edit: with a 5spd...

I just drove 50 miles last night to WATCH my buddy race his coupe, since my car is kinda taken apart at the moment...sometimes you've just gotta do some treckin to get where you wanna be.

I was hopeful for at least mid to low 12's...wich sounds like the car is plenty capable of. As soon as my Cervini's Cobra R hood comes in I'll be ripping down the 1/8 mile in Lancaster. Thanks for the replies gents!

Now I want to run that '03 Cobra that's been up and down the streets. Hopefully he'll pay his $12 and see my tail lights next Tuesday.
