Assuming a good baro & moderate humidity, on a sticky track maybe low-mid 13s.

You might consider adding an AFPR to tune fuel flow at WOT.

If you get wheel spin at launch with that TC, try launching at around 1,700-1,800 RPM and roll into the throttle.

My factory stock 63,000 mile L98 90 car did a 13.98@98 miles per hour with a hot engine and punching it off the line in "D". No timing bump, filter or anything. OEM. You'll do fine :cheers:
