new cam and headers, what should i run?

what do you guys think i will run. my car is VERY stock. just a cat-back, 218-224 cam with 1.6RRs and new valve springs, and AS&M headers with Random Tech dual cat ypipe. stock tune until i find a good dyno shop in the area. and my stock time is in the sig...i figure i'll pick up a good 7 tenths and 7mph or so till i get a tune, gears, and 2800 stall.

Get that tune, gears and stall first.... you need to get the full potential with your mods already listed. With everything in + the tune/gears/stall, it will come down to hooking. Do u have any suspension mods or DR's? if you can hook and get a 2.0 or better i'd say that you could hit high 12's...

i've got SLP/Eibach Springs and stock shocks for now. I'm about to order the Koni's for the front and Bilstein HD's for the rear. I know what i should be in the 12's once i got gears, stall, and tune but what do you think i'll run the way she sits, w/o that? i don't think we have our dyno day until mid-april.

THe times you run are going to be based off a number of things. 1st is your 60ft time. The lower that is the lower the whole time is. If you want to go all out, spend how ever much time you can handle taking things out of your car(spare,jack,front sway bar, pass. seat, carpet, bumper supports) to get some weight off. Also the track prep. and weather will influence it. I would guess you going 12.8 to 13.1 traps from 106-109. Get the stickest tires you can on the back. That is going to make the most difference.
