What should I expect???

I have a 87' turboII 81k on her. intake filter,mufflers,new clutch,shortthrow,and gutted cat/no split air pipe. Highschool nationals at norwalk 1/4 mile are sunday so im going to run her for the hell of it... Just wondering what I should expect to run so I have something to go by. Once summer is offically here ill be upgrading fuelpump/secondarys/wastegate and full exhaust/rtek etc. . But until then what should I run with my pretty much stock setup??

Agreed.

My first time at the track was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

I remember thinking I was hot ****...I had my 1970 GTO with a 400 and 4 speed....after the trip to the drag strip, I definitely didn't think I was so fast anymore.

Nice work, 14.5's are respectable with your mods.

ya I think i can pull off a better time I need to improve my r/t + i granny shifted into 3rd.
What do you think is a good rpm to launch from on street tires?? I was launching at about 4500.

r/t doesnt matter. you can sit at the line with the light green for 5 minutes and run a 13 second pass.

It is rather annoying when people think the R/T helps their overall time.

If you're running heads up, it'll just give you a better chance at beating the other guy to the finish line...even though your time would be the same.
