What do you think I can run tomorrow?

Tomorrow I will be running my Z28 for the first time. I have raced a bunch of other cars but this is the first time mine was ready to run. Please let me know what you think It can run. The car will be run at Atco, NJ.
1994 Z28 A4-70k miles-
Mods: Lingenfelter CAI, Moroso Elbow, Edelbrock Headers & Ypipe, !cat, Flowmaster catback, 3:73 gears, Custom PCM tune, Lakewood Drag Shocks. I will be running on street tires that have been used at the track and found to be decent (on a M6 car that runs consistent 13.2s) The weather is supposed to be in the 50s-60s tomorrow night down there. Any ideas? Thanks!

Jon

A few months ago the car put down 260/290 with a bad fuel filter a really crappy set of plugs and this was before the headers and ypipe. plugs were changed along with filter.

if you drive the hell outa it you could get a 13.3 or so, but that's gonna be really hard on street tires... I'd guess you run a 13.6 @ 103mph with a 2.1 60'

whats weird is that was exactly my thought. Thanks! I have a set of 15" Drag Radials that are brand new but I dont know of any 15" rims that will fit my car besides going out and buying a set of drag wheels or something.

Re: What do you think I can run tomorrow?

ummm yeah thats a big negative there j0n. However you are correct about me not gettin any freaking brakes. A month ago I had to drive to pick my sister up, three weeks ago it rained, two weeks ago my starter broke, now rain again. Maybe I should just give up. maybe its a sign to not take the car to the track. Ill start trying to go on tuesdays now...
