You can run your car at Orlando Speedway to see how fast it is. Thats what I did. Ran 13.5@104mph a few weekends ago. I went late like around 9pm and only got 2 runs so make sure you go earlier if you want to do a few passes.

With those mods I'm guessing you'll run low 13s or high 12s

No, but seriously, he will be low to mid 13's with his mods if he drives it right and the weather is good.

I'll be traveling out of the state and won't be available until next week. Have you ever been to the drag strip? Do you understand how the lights work and staging, etc? I can show you if you have no experience.


Not sure if my car will be faster than yours. I have the bigger motor yes, but its heavier and bone stock. Either way its always fun.
