Should run great on the street! Now for track depends on what is inside for bore and stroke,pistons! My guess your car may run in the thirteens! More info is need to access better! What is your goal then work towards that goal. I hope this helps

Jordan i think you will be very close to 13 in the high or very low 14! Everything depends on tune, suspension boxed lower control arms, shocks, springs,Slicks! Not to mention motor is not a high performance engine because of the pistons compression ratio. Unless you do these things car will not be very fast but will be fun to drive and still be able to race just fine. Food for thought! There are others on here better to advise than me. Guys like Don 80 rocket. Many others.One thing to remember don't go peeling out with a posi trac rear end and turn corners burning rubber! You will wear out your posi unit quickly! Straight line only! I hope this helps.
