yeah, I've seen similar setups going anywhere from low 12's to high 14's. It's all in the tuning and driving. The only way to know how good of a driver you are is to go to the track. The best indicator of how good of a tuner you are is to see how much boost you usually run. What's your boost set to?
 
You have a nice mods list, but there are all those little things that can make one car go very fast for it's mods, while a similar car that doesn't have so much attention to detail won't perform as well. Little things like having the right spark plugs gapped correctly, good tires at the right pressure, all boost leaks eliminated- even the pesky small leaks, lubed and smooth shifter bushings, weight reduction, etc.

Driving skills will make a big difference, too. How well you nail the launch, knowing the right shift points for each gear, shifting fast, knowing if you can shift without lifting, all of that matters.

If you've neer been to the track before, I recomend doing several practice launches before you go to the track. Begin with a full stop, bring the revs up, launch, do the 1>2 shift, then back off somewhere in 2nd. The 2>3 and 3>4 shift should come naturally. Practice until you have a good feel for it so you'll be able to do it again at the track without having to think about it. Make sure you have a quiet, vacant area to practice. You don't want to mow over a group of schoolkids out on a field trip to the zoo.
 
thanx man i have never bin to the track but i have launched befor and i know how to do it well so that wont be a prob s0o if i do every thing rite you think ill be in the low 12's
 
you're gonna run 12,034 no no wait hummm 510 cc injectors uhh no make that 12.037 calculating wind factor coeficient ..... 12.041 if you run on 3.4 inch thick asphalt .... no but seriously , I meen there's so many factors, race gas or not ... what's you're current boost setting ... what kind of tires.... We can't tell your reaction time or if you know how to phucking shift .... go on the track , make a couple runs and see for yourself.
