What to expect with drag setup?

I just have a very general question. My car is a 1994 Trans Am with A4 (3.23s), K&N FIPK and cutout. I was pulling 14.10s at like 99 mph on 2.1 60 foot times. This was also in the Texas heat during the summer.

Now my car still has the same hp mods, but now I have a set of skinnies, nitto drag radials, and Hal 12 way adjustable shocks and Hal springs.

What could I be looking for with this setup? It is only suppose to be in the mid to high 70s this weekend with fair humidity. Would 13.6-13.8 1/4 times with 1.8 60 foots ubtainable?

13.6-13.8 sounds about right to me

Those times definitely wouldn't be out of the question. Might want to look into a torque arm and some LCAs to knock that short time down a little more too. Really, QA1's are overkill for a basically stock motor, but since they're already on.

Yeah I know, but I figured "Well my stock shocks suck, so lets go with something like the Hals." I got the wife convinced and that was all it took. But even on a stock motor or not, these bastards own. It is crazy the type of flexibility this setup allows the user.

And I had already done all motor stuff to my 1997 30th SS. This time I wanted to set the "platform" up to handle the additional Horsepower down the road.
