Default Quarter mile newbie

Hi, I've decided to put my cossie down the quarter mile. It's a 4x4 saff, stage 3 but with a T3 on. Running on 17s. Being as I've not done this before anyone have an idea on the times I'm likely to achieve?

Ehh, you guys seem to be affraid about your diffs?????
Most people break boxes and diffs because they use the "wrong" clutch so use organic as looong as you can and the diffs and geaarbox will hold just fine.
You should easy do a mid 13 sec and if you really push it on the line then a high 12 to low 13sec.
Best of luck m8
