85 GN times?

Hey guys, and maybe even girls. I have an 85 GN that i have modded an ok amount and was wondering what to expect for times from it, and maybe even horse. I know it will just be a guesstimate but i was just curious. It pulls hard but i smoked the clutches in my tranny this summer and never got to the track after it was fixed, here in WI the tracks will still be close for a while. The mods are as listed.

1985 Buick Grand National: 70,000 miles.

-21 pounds of boost on xylene/110 mix. absolutely no knock
-complete engine back,stainless ATR exhaust, everything in engine compartment ceramic coated, 2 1/2" DP, No Cat
-TA-33C turbo
-Ported/ polished heads (Iron) and intake.
-1.77 intake/1.50 exhaust stainless valves.
-heavy valve springs and strengthened retainers.
-Poston 110t cam, chromemoly pushrods.
- 42.5# injectors, Eric Marshal tuned chip.
- Ported throttle body
- 4" cold air intake (Mandrel bent aluminum pipeing), 8" K&n filter
-LT1 MAF, and Translator
-87 ECM conversion
-Hotwired walbro 340, billet adjustable FPR
-Heated O2 sensor
-Electric Fans
-Built trans billet servo,hard parts, alto red bands kolene steels,3000 Stall
-Heater/AC deleted
-Fiberglass bumpers, Aluminum supports, no spare tire
-Umi poly, and tubed rear suspension, with drag bag, stock Posi
-Braces, behind rear seat, both in front braces.
-275/65R15 regular joe street tires.

I think i posted all the things i did that affect performance, i have all other mods done to be on the safe side, Complete ARP studs, driveshaft loop ext.

Any comments apreciated!!
Thanks, Dan

I agree with the previous post. A friend of ours ran low 13's with less of a set up then you have with good tires.
