Default Are low 13's (13.0 - 13.3) doable with these mods?

I was just wondering if any of you fellas with track experience know if I will be able to see low 13's with my mods? There aren't a lot of tracks around here, and the closest is only an 1/8 miler.

I have never raced (on a track) before, but hope to make a trip to a 1/4 miler next summer. So, I would like to have an idea of where the car might stand and what to expect before the light goes green.

I also have a DiabloSport Predator on order, so that should free up a little more juice. And the car has stock runflats with 34,000 miles on them.

Oh, yah, I have the highly feared and respected 2.73's :o .

Thanks!

You should probably be in that range, 13.3. The 2.73s could hurt though

I doubt you'll see 13.0 to 13.1, but you might see 13.3 to 13.4.

Mine ran a best of 13.17, with the only mods being a dyno tune, smooth bellows and a modified Z06 airbox. My dyno tune included raising the shift points to 6000rpm, so this is something you'll want to do once you get the Predator. Raising the shift points definitely helps you pick up a tenth or two.

My best time was on the runflats too (1.97 60ft) but I've also got the 3.15 gears which are worth a tenth or two over the 2.73s. I also did my 13.1 on a pretty cold fall day.

Mid 13's would be my guess...unless your good at the light
A few mods may shave some hundreds

Maybe the higher end of that range is attainable.
