You're going to have traction issues with those 20's, I predict mid 13's.

20's will have to stay, i already sent my ZR1's to GA. I think they weigh more than the 20's do. my 335's were some heavy tires on the 11" wide ZR1's

i'm hoping i could close the gap to the 12's Ive seen some stock LT1 cars run mid 13's.

My previous best time was a 13.84 @ 105 with a 2.0 60', basicly rolled off the line insted of dumping the clutch.

stock slipping clutch, stock shifter, no suspension or chasis mods, just sportlines
longtubes with full flowmaster catback on some crappy 275 kumho's while running at over 200* with 85* outside. with a 160* stermo installed. !cats, !cags, !AIR, !egr, open cycling MAF, it wasnt plugged in and was throwing a code. all of this right after i did the TB bypass mod and it came undone while backing out of the driveway. pouring cooland fluid everywhere like a firehose. and non tuned, stock pcm. car really ran like crap compaired to now. ive got some good tires on my 20's. as long as i hook i think i'll be golden with my eyes on 12's in the near future.

oh yeah, and my track is horrible, it goes uphill after 1/2 way

I'd be best off borrowing some DR from a friend, but not sure who would want to do that for me.

I also have a TA diff cover on the way to help out with the 10 bolt

i hope the weather here in ohio gets better real soon so i can get to the track before i move.

You are gonna have a really time hitting 12's on 20 inch street tires. Drag radials would help out a ton.

I'll be moving up to the Cleveland area soon. Which track are you talking about (so I know to stay away)?

Is Norwalk too far? From what I remember, it's a nice track.

the track is quaker raceway in salem. it was just sold so i dont know if its going to be open this year.

I might head to thompson raceway or norwalk before i move.

i'd like to see what i can run on 20's since thats what i drive on the streets with. but i'll try to get some other wheels with some drag radials on them.

agree with high 13s. you basically have full exhaust and ram air, but with the 20s and the sportlines, i would say that pretty much cancels out the performance mods you have

I would guess mid to high 13s depending how you can get it off the line.

you guys are joking right? I could run that with 7 spark plugs.

the wheels arent going to kill my times that bad. and they have somewhat good tires on them. just not as much of a sidewall as a 17" tire. which will require a easier launch.

That's what you think. You've taken what is essentially a mid 13 second car on street tires and added 20" rims into the equation. It'll run high 13's at best, most likely 14's.
