predictions? bolt-on lt1

heading out to the track sunday and i'm kinda curious as to what everyone thinks it may hit. full 1/4. car is a 95 with 170k+ miles (sad i know) and has...

pacesetter lt's, ory with a single dumped bullet, 3.42 rear end, k&n cai, BFG drag radials, level 2 performabuilt 4l60e, performabuilt 9.5" 3200 stall convertor, msd opti, coil, summit 8.5 mm wires, all free mods and a couple other insignificant items.

its gone 13.3 @ 102 before the stall and hitting the limiter 2 or 4 times on the 2-3 shift with the trans slipping. it has nitrous on it but i won't be spraying sunday. and i have a lot of seat time, over 100 passes. ideas? guesstimates?

didn't get rained out, they were having a bracket race

if i don't make it thursday for T'nT, i'll definately be there sunday. and the car is bone stock weight, only thing taken out is the spare tire, and my nitrous bottle is there now. but like i said, not spraying. oh, and i do have Corbeau CR1 seats, so they're slightly lighter

the original plan this year was to run the foot brake class. i would love to do some competitive racing with it since its typically pretty consistent, but i believe they run it as a points series, and its like $100 to register. i've already missed a couple events i think so i wouldn't have stood a chance at winning

The tracks here run points and require a sign up fee. Durning the season a signup isn't requires as anyone can enter the event. If your not signed up the points you aquire don't count. It might be advantageous for you to try some races and get your feet wet. Most on the site don't bracket race.

well, it was pretty hot and humid out to run, about 80* and muggy. went 13.2 @ 100 on motor with a hard 1.8 60. heated up the bottle to 1000 psi and sprayed my way to a 12.5 @ 111. and hit a best 60' of 1.78. it feels very rough, so i'm hoping if i can tune it up and smooth it out some it'll bring the times down
