depends. if your spinning your trap will be higer than if you hooked, i.e. i ran 14.3@103.9 but ran 14.00@101... no way to be sure , but i would guess 13.8 13.7 with realy low 60ft.. with DR's maybe 13.6 13.5
i noticed your in fl, what part? and what track are you running on?

Welcome to Gainesville, the slickest track around here.... They half ass prep the track most of the time. They only do it right when they have a pretty big event going on. They don't really care about the Test and Tune or the Street legals. My best at Gainesville was at the BOPC event last weekend 13.81@103.73 with a 2.145 60'.

it cant be as bad as spin world. the thing that sucks about tracks is that vht isnt made to work with street tires, steet tires actuly rip vht off the track, were as slicks and some drs lay more rubber down.

do you sometimes park your car on alafaya inbetween waterford lakes and colonial? I see this red SS parked off the road near a construction site every once in a while. if thats you, then DAYUM, your rims are sick as ****.

You ain't lying...they actually do something on T and T nights where the cars wont hook as good therefor less break downs on track therefore more runs get in...pretty shitty huh? Pay 20 bucks and cant even get your car to run at its highest level meanwhile slowly wearing the cluth right?

Yeah man its bad, if its a normal test and tune/ street legal they don't prep for ****. I can barely get 2.3 60's when they have an event going on I can get 2.1's pretty easy. Huge difference in track prep.

A friend of mine was running 13.1-2 this past summer at 102-103 on slicks, so with traction low 13's are there.
