well..mid to low 10s...lol. by thunder the car will be a good bit lighter and should have a good bit more power. I may even have an ace in the hole...which will only be known about at the shootout if it makes it into the car.
I hear ya on the normal car..my wife has a 99 WS6 Formula with bolt ons/converter and a small cam that we have a blast in. Bring her down..it will be a blast.
haven't looked at the belt issue yet. honestly Ive been working on the vette but now that I know the rules to thunder race I will start work on it again to get ready. Really been waiting on the new heads steve told ya'll about. We are very curious to pull my current heads and lookat them /flow them since they were never flowed before they went on.

I dont know man, your car looks mean as hell and sounds viscious when your ripping it down the track. Your car is wired for the n20, so alls you ahve to do is hide like two 5lb sneeky pete bottles in your fire jacket, no one would ever expect that.

swap God's tranny for an autotragic? *gasp* haha
I have a 6 speed in my 94 and a th400 in my 98. if my 98 had only come with a 6speed I wouldnt be so angry at it all the time, haha. I understand the pressure people put on us 6spd guys to go auto, but I hope you dont. Fast 6speed cars are so much more impressive imo, and more fun. And if you are getting beat out of the hole, just spray to play and beat them top end =)

Ok Tim...
First off I'm sure with the new combo you'll be 1.3 60' times N/A.
2nd you need to race taner heads up with the M6... taner told me you have nothing for him and that a bolt-on Civic would give him a better race... hey sorry buddy not my words that's just taner.
3rd at the Thunder Shootout you willl be racing taner for a case of Molsen Canadian... M6 vs. M6
4th... I think Roman want's some of you too... something about his red car is WAY faster than your red car.
Also Sue at Rapid was talking smack that she could out shift any "POS LT1 driver"... I'm just the messenger here buddy.
5th... I don't feel like putting an A3 in your car yet, LOL.
Last but not least... Tim98TA has an A3!!!
