12.9-13.0
Since you have a tuner, you sure you don't have a Toyota instead? He oughta know the HP output if he's a real gooroo tuner. Last tuner I had was on a plate. Take it to the track or better yet to a dyno. day and show up the ricers.

Was getting a 2nd opinion.....my tuner said the same times you said........no offense not trying to come off as a jerk or anything. It's sorta my fault too for not posting EVERYTHING my tuner said...sorry for inconvience.

Actually you sounded like a troll rice boy.
Tuners are nice, but you should read as much as you can, join some clubs, groups, listen to a lot of folks believe about 1/2 what you hear, and learn to tune fix and repair your own car. Factory service manual is a great tool to use to learn, scantools are great to use as well as good gauges. If you really are 16 and own one of these things be careful.  I started with a big long Olds station wagon at 16, luckily it had a big Olds V8 in it too. Don't street race either hit the track, end of lecture.

The only way to find out is to take it to the track.

If I'd have had a GN when I was 16, I wouldn't have seen 17
Geez, if that doesn't make me sound old......With a decent 60' on just the alky I'd say high 12's, low 13's, like everyone else..

You really think the TE44 will give me the power to break into the 9's?

te44 wont do 9s , hes just bustin'
XLR8 said it ...youll never know what you have till you take it to the track , lots of 11 and 12 second cars on paper that only get 13s and 14s on the track the TE44 should get you to the mid 11s , whether youll ever get there is another story , you may only get it to mid 12s or even 13s , depends on how close your chip is and if its off how well you can relate your needs to the chip maker . at the start of the season with a ta49 I ran low mid 13s at 104 and now its consistant at 12.0 at 110 with traction ,experience and a real good tune you may see low 11s , well once anyway before they boot you for no bar.

I could only sqeeze out a 13.4 @ 101mph w/ 19lbs of boost at The Nats in KY on Goodyear Street tires(245/50/16's). No boost off the line with a 2.01 60ft. I think I could break into the 12's with my BFG Drag radials if I cuold just leave the line with a/b 4-5lbs of boost. The local 1/8th mile track is so bad I still cant leave the line with only 1lbs of boost.
