What do you think I'll run?

Here's what I'm doing to my car over the next 2 months.
1)94-95 single cat Mac headers jet hot coated
2)Mac off-road pipe
3)02sims
4)Borla cat-back
5)BMR LCA's
6)BMR LCA relocation brackets
7)BMR adjustable panhard bar
8)Eibach sportlines (I know these will hurt my time)
9)Firestone Firehawk SZ50 Ep tires (P275/40ZR-17)
10)Taylor OVC wires
11)NGK TR55's
12)LT4 KM
13)Pro 5.0 shifter
14)TB bypass
So what do you think? The car currently has around 40,000 miles on it, it's a 97WS6 T/A (factory ram air with K&N filter) with a 6speed and 3:42 gears. I run mobil 1 5W30 and the 02sensors are going to be replaced as well. Eventually I'll get some programming for it. Also, what kind of launch rpm and tire pressure should work?

Thanks

You should gain .5 - .8 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
It's all in the 60 ft and since you have the 6 speed, it's gonna be all good or all bad. I hope your clutch is good and you know how to use it. The quicker you are, the better. Drag radials will help also.
Try to shoot for a 1.7ish!

Thanks heavy, anyone else?
Also what kind of launch rpm am I looking at? I'm thinking I might be able to run low 13's like 13.2-13.4

13.2-13.4 is very doable, key is a good 60'. get a set of drag radials and you'll be all set.

G'luck!
