Default what can i expect?

Well I'm going to a drag strip for the first time next week and I want to ask you guys what I should expect in a quarter mile with these light mods
LT headers, x-pipe, flomasters, CAI (double cones with housings open with screens) dyno tune, Hankook nonrunflats, z51 3 15 gears A4. Vert 338 rwhp.
I will probably be disappointed if i do not get under 13 sec, so I am curious if I expect too much from my vert thinking under 13 sec in a quarter.
Thanks

What to expect? A whole lot of wheel hop and a need for a big checkbook. A Corvette is a poor drag car.

Don't drive through the box, go around it.

Hookup before you bury the throttle.

Expect a LOT of wheelspin.

Still a lot of fun though.....just be careful and don't tear anything up.
