What are you looking to accomplish? 1/4 Times? Mods you currently have?

I am looking to have some fun and see what the car can do in the 1/4 mile.

The car currently is mostly stock. I have done a good Stage "0". The mods are a Snabb intake tube, white injectors and a rebuilt 16t turbo.

Sounds like your ready. Just go out and have fun, get some runs in and get a good baseline.
