That sounds like a fair estimate, I never understood why people think taking your car to the track will break it, it's the same as when you street race or get on it from a light.

i woudl say you should look to be closer to the low end of your estimate. you can easily get a 305 tpi to run a low 15. if you advance the base timing a little and hook you may be able to drop some high 14's.

good luck

you have a little over 200 hp with your mods, and 2:73's, im sorry but i dont think youll reach 14's. i would say mid to high 15'smaybe even low 16's, but you never know, good luck and have fun, it shouldnt hurt it to run it down thee track, youll be fine
