13.50 - 13.80 depending on the driver. Convertibles are heavy also..

agree on power around 260-265 RWHP

Go run it and find out. It's not much good to speculate on a parts list because most folks run slower than their "parts" would indicate.

yes if you have DR's and some driving experience mid 13's, low 13's if u have any suspension or weight reduction. also if your car has been tuned by a good tuner, that would help and id say with a tune 280-290 rwhp.

You have a good set up, see what you are running for times with that set up. If you dont run what you expect or what you should be for your power level dont be discouraged b/c it takes time to get good at driving at the track. With my current Mustang I started out at 14.1 and with only changing gears, exhaust and using MT DR's I was at 12.8 by the end of the season so you just need to get used to the car. Then decide from there if you want to go faster based on more power or suspension mods.

wow u started out at 14.1 with a hci setup?! i guess the higher altitude tracks slow down cars a good bit. I live in south florida, and i ran a 14.2 with a 2.1 60', and just bolt ons. When Moroso reopens ill be back to get that 60' down and with a few new mods be in the 13's. thus i dont see any reason why this guys setup shouldnt be atleast mid 13's. btw that is a nice little setup, add a 75/100 shot and mid 12's would be sweet!!

H/C/I on a 351W. My 14.1 was on my old combo and Nitto's and 3.27.s I was at 13.1 and then I put on the MT DR's and hit 12.8's with the addition of 3.73's and exhuast which got me to the 13.1's. Im not putting Nitrous on it Its staying N/A and w/ the new combo I have not it should be below mid 12's. Its just an example of how you dont need to throw more power at the car to go faster, just improving on driving at the track and getting to know the car is whats really important.

i'd expect you to trap around 105 atleast with a good tune, as far as et that depends on your driving skills and track conditions.

The adding a 75/100 shot was toward the thread starter...if he added it he would definately see 12's.

And yea the trap speed should be in the 105 ish range for said setup 94-5.0GT, and the ET all depends on track prep, driving skills, and that 60'!
