Around 5 seconds. Depends how hard you launch.

based on what i saw a few years ago, you are probably looking at around the mid fives depending on how hard it's launched

Would say between 4.5-5 depending on how you can launch it. Side stepping at the right revs with a good clutch and a strong box (although you won't do too many of those before something gives).

Knowing how Pulsars launch and knowing times they can do, it will be a LOT faster done right than the answers here suggest- its not a cossie you know
4.5 wouldnt be out the relms of reality, even a lot lower.
Even Celica GT4s with filter/zorst/15psi, so about the same power as you, but heavier, can do consistant 4.5s, and youve got better gearing than that.

I always understood them to be very good launching cars. Ive seen sub 5s a few times on fairly average specs.
Nice agressive launch no reason why yours wouldnt be in the 4s mate

With the right mods they can be very fast. Theres a 350bhp one around my way and it's rapid.
