You should be able to get into the 12's.... I didnt see one piece of suspension replaced on your mods list though. I would start there! Get some subframes, torque box reinforcements, upper/lower control arms, struts/shocks and springs.

You should be able to get into the 12's Will i be able to shift normal or have to power shift the poor old t5?

you "should" break into the 12s if you drive it like you stole it. Don't necessarily have to powershift it, but row through them pretty quick. And I agree with the 280-300 rwhp estimate.

On edit: You REALLY need some suspension mods.

Right now its a toss up for 12's. Depends on how you drive it. Put some money into basic suspension and you will definetly break 12's. 280-300rwhp is dead on.
