Question What can I expect?

Hello all, just wanting some opinions. With the mods shown below what kind of power at the RW and what kind of times do you all think I can run? I haven't raced it yet (legally), and my next opportunity to do so is in front of hundreds of F-Bodies in Bowling Green. Let me know. Thanks all.

All of your mods boil down to a lid and cutout.
On your F1s you'll probably run 13.2-13.5.
With some drag radials on you will be right at 12.99 IF the weather is decent and you drive it like you stole it

If you are planning on spending some time at the track then get some skinnies for the front and some 15" drag wheels with drag radials for the back. The will net you 2-3 tenths but could cost you a 10 bolt. You'll be able to leave harder and accelerate faster.

Now if the track is just an occasional thing. Long tube headers should net you enough power to gain 2 tenths.
