approx ET for 88 5.0?

I have a 1988 Mustang GT 5.0....its running on 16 inch turbines with eagle GT tires, mac eual-length headers, x pipe, pretty free-flowing exhaust and a bbk intake....I am taking it to the closest dragway this weekend for the mustang event they have this time every year, and I didnt know if anyone knew approximately what ET I might be around because if its under 13.99 I need a helmet. I am guessing Ill run mid 14's at best, but didnt know if anyone had a similar car that has made a pass down the quarter mile....any insight would be great...Thanks!

Depends a lot on your track elevation and conditions, but id agree on high 14s assuming a decent track.
