Default could my combo be capable of 12's?

i know theirs so many factors but in general assuming everything goes well and the car is tuned correctly, just bored and figured maybe i'd get some opinions. and trust me when i say i drive the **** out of this car! Launched 5500rpm or so, power shifted etc.
id like to see the car go into the 12's on HP. heres the setup:

stock 5.0 HO shortblock.

-Performer RPM airgap (unported)
-Quik Fuel 650 carb
-GT40P heads (unported SLIGHTLY milled)
-1.6 rr's
-Comp Cam XE276HR cam
-Mac 1 3/4 longtubes
-2 1/2' exhaust (xpipe and flows)
-Full fuel system, Holley blue, fuel cell etc.

ignition wise:

-MSD Pro billit
-Crane Hi6 Fireball distributor with LX92 coil

Trans:
-5spd with a Centerforce dual friction clutch.

Rear end:
-4.30 with a Spool.

Suspension (rear)
-Adjustable Uppers (havent messed with angle yet)
-UPR Tubular pro street fixed lowers
-Comp 3way shocks
-Eibach rear drag springs
-26x9 Slick or DOT slick havent decided yet

Suspension (Front)
-Moroso drag springs
-Lakewood 90/10's

(soon to have tubular kmember/a-arms)

other info on the car:
-Gutted, 2 seats and a dashboard thats it.
-No front bumper support.
-Fuel cell
-Glass hood
-No front swaybar
-No Smog or A/C

I dunno just bored and felt like posting and seeing what kind of opinions i get on how its gonna run. it will be running probly next weekend and at the track hopefully 2 weeks later if all works out. but the car is light, has a simple combo.

lets hear some opinions!

i think it will.

full slick w/ a 4k+ launch and hit the shifts right...you should go 12.80

my '89 notch w/ bone stock motor , lt's, 4.10's , et streets , southsides went 13.20's

i see absolutely no reason you shouldn't go upper 12's

I'd say on a good track with a good driver who's not affraid to break it, it should see 11's.

ORIGINAL: Grimace5.0

I'd say on a good track with a good driver who's not affraid to break it, it should see 11's.
i have an extra trans, 2 driveshafts, stock axles in bulk (though i have strange 33splines in the car), and an extra shortblock...breakage is definetly not a concern of mine, actually i tihnk its the fun part of it all lol.
though i think i would **** if i saw that kind of number.
btw Grimace, looked at your page and that car of yours is VERY nice!

and Nitrous Bob: upper 12's would be fine with me honestly.

Oh, one other thing, with that gear 4.30 you *may* need to run a taller tire. Depends on trap RPM etc etc.

i'v already thought about that. im gonna try to find a used 26' and try that, if it traps to high i'll go from their.

i still have plans later on in the season to have the heads worked on a bit and get a custom cam in the car, plus i have a 11:1 308 on the stand so thats why that gear is in the car.
