What performance is it capable off ?

After finishing my header install last week I took it for a ride to find out how much faster the car is... it really feels quite a lot faster... unfortunately I won't get a chance to run it at the track before next year... can you guys give me a prediction on what times the car is capable off in the quarter and 0-60 with help of the mods listed below ???

If you have tires and know how to launch, I would guess 13.30 @ 104.

cold air, headers, catback....if you can manage traction with the lowered suspension i would say 13.5

and is that your signature? cause it is suposed to be 5 or less lines

Is there any chance that this setup will bring me into the very low 13's maybe even break into the high 12's ?

Not without a SERIOUS diet that you might not want to do to a daily driver car.

Any guess on the 0-60 or at how much HP I'm looking at currently ?

0-60 is probably around 4.9 sec

You could probably drop some weight by eliminating your huge sig.

I doubt there is 12's in what you have. I am guessing a 13.5

Re: What performance is it capable off ?

To be honest I'm kinda dissapointed that it's still in the mid 13's ... sometimes I regret not going the LS1 route

.... How would things improve with a difference cam.. the CC305 with RR and everything thats supposed to go with it ??

Don't listen to these guys! Most of these guys don't know what they are talking about. Assuming you can drive and have some decent tires you should run low 13's with ease and high 12's with a very good launch depending on weather conditions and the condition of your car.
