Like Lucky said, do some suspension,upper/lower control arms, and some tranny work would def. help for sure. With all that I dont see a problem with 12's

a shift kit will make a huge difference. do that at the very least. if you can afford a stall, go for it, just dont buy a cheap off the shelf piece of crap. they never stall as high as they say they do
