What do YOU think my 1/4 time is?

I am going to run my car on the track for the first time this coming summer. With my current setup in the sig, Is there anyone that would like to take a shot at my 1/4 time? I was thinking maybe between 11.6-11.9 on a 70 degree day and Nitto DR's? Let me know what ya think.

with a good 60 i think an 11 second pass can be reached pretty easily

Why go with Nitto's..Get yourself some real tires and get the M/T drag radials...those things HOOK!

Has it been properly tuned? Since we are guessing, mid to low 12's first time out.

18's. Say goodbye to the ten bolt lol. No, if you can get it to hook and not break 11.7-11.8 i would think. Good luck.

yes it has been tuned by Bryan Herter at PCMforless. Thanks for the replies everyone. I think before i test it i will swap the rear for something tougher, and get a higher TC maybe 3200 or 3600? Somewhere in there. I'll get it dynoed too here soon since last time it was on the dyno it put down 365 rwhp with 1 dead cylinder so im hoping it will put out 430rwhp with no mech probs? Anyway thanks again.

Mid 11's should be easily reached if everything is in good working order.

First time out = extremely slow! Your first pass is gonna be real slow unless you are just a natural born badass, its just a fact that no one runs good on their first pass down the track. Do as many passes as possible to get a feel for the thing then you will have it down in the mid-high 11s.

Just a suggestion. Keep a look out for valve float with the 987s. I have a small Joe O. cam and they were not enough, or the not right spring for my cam. Your lobe design might be different, so I can't say for sure with your cam. Just thought I would give you a heads up.
I do think snake eyes shouldn't be a problem though.

You have an Auto, the rear isnt as big of a problem for Autos. Tons of guys run 11's on the stock rear. If it isnt your daily driver then i wouldnt worry about a few passes.
