I will get a thirteen next weekend. I will have a 2.9 pulley, Air Filter and exhaust. I got a 14.3 and constant 14.4's with 2.252 60's. Im gonna work on a good launch and get some thirteens.

I have no doubt the SS/SC is a 13 second car w/ drag radials and 16's alone.
My best ET is an 1/8th mile run which was an 8.67 w/ 1.9X 60ft on street tires. I researched a bit and found that an 8.6X 1/8th is *ROUGHLY* a 13.4-13.6 1/4 ET.
My best 1/4 mile ET is a 13.85 @ 101.99mph. I'm confident enough w/ the control arm bushings that a 13.5X-13.6X is feasible on street tires.

No doubt youll get the Tofu . What formula did you use to figure the 1/8 . Multiplying 1.54x1/8 mile time has always been VERY accurate for me . Its typically within a tenth , obviously factoring a problem free run .

I think it's possible with just an exhaust, intake, set of mickeys and a good driver. I ran a 14.6 yesterday at track with horrible conditions and no traction. I spun through 1st and the beginning of 2nd. With a good set of tires, I think I could run a 14.4 or so completly stock all day long. Exhaust and intake would open up so much air flow and I think I could hit high 13's with that on really good conditions. But you can have all that and run horrible because of the way you drive. It's all about the driver.
