It would be easer if you just went to the track and found out for yourself what it will really run. To many variables in that crystal ball.

I'd say you should expect to see mid to high 13's.
As suggested, get out there and find out for real :cheers:

It kind of depends on your age. I can do it in around 1:15. Oh, you meant in your car? Sorry, disregard. :)

Since there is nothing in the list that is really a "big" performance improvement I am going to guess around 14.2-14.3 @ around 97-98MPH.

You are calling a new (much larger) intake manifold and intake runners combined with a catback and no cats small mods?!? :skep: Besides headwork a cam or lager CI/Forced induction what else do you call big improvements?

Even with those mods on an 86 I think you're looking at low 14's. I don't think 13.5 is realistic.

I have an iron head '86 with stock internals, SuperRam base, large tube runners, ported plenum, L/T headers, muffler eliminators, auto and 3.07 gears. It pulls 14.10's on the G-tech. The sad thing is that the times with the new intake are pretty much the same as they were with the stock intake, only the speeds at the end of the quarter are higher (somewhere around 106)

Bone stock you should be pulling low 14's, so with your mods and a good launch, you should see mid to upper 13's. I am guessing 13.5-13.7 @100mph.
Heck last year I was running 13.5-13.7 @ just a hair under 100mph and that was with just bolt ons, slp runners, modified maf, pulleys, chip, exhaust..(Although I have 3.07 rear end gears)
Good luck mate.
