OK I'll go out on a limb and guess 13.2 with good traction running only on the motor. 12's should be easy with the N2O.You will probobly need slicks to get it to hook tho.

I we have here where I live are 1/8 mile tracks. If you have slicks and get it too hook, no problem running a high seven. Most of the stock l98 cars with good drivers around here are running high 8s with slicks and low 9 completely stock. Hell take a look at my car. That was before I turned it into a drag car with a 406, ladder bars, no interior, cage, and slick. Now with an N/A motor Im running a 7.3 with a 10.5 inch slick. Have fun and keep it on the track.

That's going to hurt you right there. Put a bottleneck like that right in the middle of the system, nothing else you put on either side is going to make much difference.

Mid-high 8's.

if you can drive it I think it will run mid to low 8's but if you dont power shift probably low 9s. I used to run a 406 with 10 to 1 compression vortech heads 230 @ 50 cam and a 5 speed before I broke it with 3:73 gears car ran 7.80's using 1-2-3 gears but the vortech heads are a whole lot better than the 882 s
