1/8 mile- what time should i expect?

I have a 95 Auto with an intake. This guy in a 4.3 s10 wants me to go to the track so he can "destroy me". His dial in was like 11.97. Anyway, anything would be appreciated.

DO you have large wheels or a stereo in the trunk or any added weight? If so, take it out. With decent launches, you could run right around a 10.0 in the 1/8th.

It doesn't matter what you do, unless your car explodes you can't lose. 11.97 in the 1/8th works out to about 18.6 in the 1/4 mile. Worst case scenario you should run about a 10.5 in the 1/8th. You could run faster.

I ran the 1/8 - 10.050 and that was totally stock. You don't have to worry.

He made some excuses. His gears suck and he had his stereo in the truck, blah, blah blah... I smiled and nodded a lot. It was comical.
