Default Going to the track Sunday, who can guess the closest times?

Going out there sunday, Last time I went I ran a 14.6 and that was before tuning, on my old exhaust(single 3"), and pre tranny/TC.
Anyone have any guesses on what I'll run?

Changes since last time out are:
1) built tranny
2) 3600 stall tc
3) street/dyno tuning & I'll be logging my passes
4) went from single 3" exhaust to true dual with x pipe
Weather conditions should be very close to last time, but I think traction will be a problem since I'll be on my street tires.
I dyno'ed 283rwhp/330rwtq pre tranny/tc. Race weight should be around 4000-4100. Mods are in sig

I wouldn't be surprised if you dropped .5 seconds due to the TC. That's if you can get it to the ground and not just spin off launch. The trans isn't going to make any difference on your time unless yu were slipping last run.
Tune and TC and traction= 14.01-14.10

edit: I forgot to add my exhaust change

Well, I'll be optimistic and take a helmet, and be happy with anything <13.99. I'll have some video to post afterwards also. It would sure be nice to hit 13's with bolt ons only.
Last time I was hardly ever in my powerband, now I'm hardly ever out of it.

Be happy for any improvement. As you get faster it is harder to get faster....

That I will, in the next couple months I've got ported/polished/milled heads, cam, car intake, and a few other goodies going on, so improvement is def coming, but damn it's expensive.
