Going to the track soonl; What times should I expect?

Whats up guys. I know this question has been asked a million times before, but what times should I expect with my mods listed below? I have also removed the spare and hitch if that matters. I plan on going to the Bradenton track when I go home to Clearwater to visit family.....

Thanks,

Griffin

I looked into my crystal ball and I see you running a 12.4-12.6 if you don't blow a driveshaft No loop?...No bars?

traction is EVERYTHING

sticking a 6lb lower gives you gobs more torque, but with more torque comes...........you guessed it

12.4-12.6? Man, I thought it would be a a couple of tenths lower running 16psi of boost. I guess I shoud get some traction bars before going out there then. No use in breaking a drivshaft on my first run....

Well all you really have is a chip/filter pulley. The ported throttle body and plenum may pick up a few hp but not many. I would say 12.6 sounds about right..........it really depends how aggressive your program is.

Race program is very aggressive. 13.0-12.9? Damn! I have every mod you can think of minus the traction bars and thats it?

WTF do I need to get into the low 12's? I don't think there is anything else I could add to the truck besides the juice to increase my times.....

I wouldn't even go race........I am surprised your motor is still together. 13.0-12.9 is stupid if you ask me. You better get a reburn or say goodnight to your motor.

You are far from having all boltons. Other performance mods you can have:

electric fan
ram air kit
long tubes
powercooler
convertor
