Default What would it run?

Alright so here is what I have been building for the last 2 years. 1987 Jeep Wrangler YJ, 6.0 LQ4 (17,000 miles), 4L80E, Atlas II 3.8 Tcase, custom drive shafts, Dynatrac Pro 60 axles (front and rear) 35 spline cromoly detroit lockers high pinion 5.13 gears etc etc, 42x15x20 Super Swamper SXII tires on 10x20 wheels, Radlock HD Aluminum radiator and electric fan, PSC hyro assist, edlebrock shorty headers, electric cutout, 8 KC lights, 6 other lights, Warn X8000i winch, performance tune, granateli spark plug wires, and a bunch of other crap. If I was to take it to a strip and run it (assuming I made it to the end) what do you think it would do in the 1/4 mile? What would you do to make it better (performance wise). This jeep has been built by me and 2 friends of mine over the last 2 years as money and time would allow. The only good pic I have of the jeep is from about 9 months ago before it was done, but you get the idea.

low 15's high 14's is my guess.. jeep is light, gears you got will help with those big tires. I wouldnt worry about 1/4mi times if i was you though, thats a sick looking jeep.

get some headers, nice exhaust, have it custom tuned, cam... etc etc supercharger?

I don't think I will ever run it, but was curious as to what people thought. I have the edlebrock headers on it and it was custom tuned by wait4meperformance. I will try to post up some pics of how it sits now. If you like the way it looks there (springs strapped on - lol, bumpers not complete etc) you will love the other pics.

Here is a more recent pic - still looks stupid without the roll bar. We had to take it out to get the jeep out of the garage we have been working on it in. This is not the finished product.
