Default Should I be able to run in the 12's

Just got the car back on the road but won't be able to run it for a while. I really hopeI can hit a 12. Might get some d/r's beforeI go. Heres all my mods.

93 5.0 with ported and shaved gt-40X aluminum heads
1.6 r/r with E cam
Gt-40 intake with ported lower and BBK 70mm throttle body
BBK CAI with 77mm MAF A9L comp
MSD distributer, coil, and 6AL box
24# injectors, BBK fuel rails, regulator, guage and 190LPH pump
BBK ceramic equal length headers, BBK catted X, SLP loudmouths
FFRP aluminum radiator with flex-a-lite aluminum fan

Tranny is a T-5Z with spec stage 2 clutch, spec billet flywheel, MGW shifter, UPR cable, and aluminum driveshaft

Suspension wise Steeda rear control arms and Tubular sub-frames
Got Eibach sportlines with KYB all around with quads and K-member brace and Hotchkis c/c plates.

Still got to get the fuel pressure and timing where it likes it, any suggestions would help

You'd need DR's and gears to get 12's, maybe.

i dont see why not with a good suspension setup and a sticky tire. Man i see stock stangs running high 12's with just suspension and a tire.

It might be close if you are a good driver. You ever run the 1/4?

Not yet but really just wondering on the car,I knowI can get better at that.A guy on here just showed a slip for 12.44 with gt-40p's.I have to think my set-up should be close to his. I know no one on here likes gt-40x heads but I got them basically for free. Were on a parts car, guy thought heads were done but were able to be milled. IfI were buying heads I wouldn't buy them but for free. They got to be better than gt-40's, have bigger valves and take of 45 pounds off the front.

It is possible. I am near 12's with a stock cam, ported E7's and a stock ported intake. I guess you are more likely to get there than me. I am low altitude also...around 800 ft about sea level, so that helps too.
