Default 90 gt setup/ Heading right direction?

So im building my mustang up. So far:

Stock block setup

Dart alumn heads with 9.8/1
Mac long tube headers
Mac offroad h-pipe with no cats
msd ignition setup
gt40p upper and lower (sightly ported)
Trickflow cam TFS-51402001
Trickflow 75mm throttlebody and egr
BBK fuel rail and reg
24 pound injectors
BBk in fender intake
C&L 78mm mass air

No a/c or smog pump

Where do you think ill be at?

est hp and quarter mile times?

Im new to this and kinda wanting to feed back on setup and ideas where to go
Im hoping to get to the 12's after so more work.

thanks

I'd be dissapointed with 12s with that setup. Are you using stock tire/gear? Are you auto or manual? If your gearing/suspension/tires are all stock then I guess I could see 12s. You'll be hurting for traction.

There are better heads out there to choose from
MSD ignition wont make you any faster (unecessary part)
There are many better intakes to choose from
75mm TB is WAY too big for your needs, stick to a 65-70mm
BBK Fuel rail is a waste of money, your stock rails will easily handle 400hp worth of fuel delivery
BBK CAI is a gigantic waste of money. Buy a ElCheapo Ebay brand, or just stick a K&N filter in your stock tube. A CAI isnt really going to give you any gains
C&L Meters are absolute JUNK. Stay away from them at all costs! My personal recommendation would be to run a 70mm SN-95 MAF. If you are concerned about running the 24# injectors, PM me... I have a way around the "larger injector/stock mf" issues.

gears are 3.55
I did the Granatelli k member w 200 pound coil over. moved front tires 1" forward.

I plan to install subframe connectors and cage before it goes to track. Im also looking for a set of draglight wheels.
this is my first project and im taking it slow and getting alot of advice along the way

Also are far as what i wrote in whats on the car, i understand if it was a waste of money or stuff like that, but whats done is done. other then the mass air sensor which i am ordering today.

Does this setup have a chance at 12's?
also its a 5 speed

I also don't think you'll see 12's with that junk.
Put the money in the suspesion and gears.
IME, you'll need 4.10's

You installed the wrong rate coils for drag racing, they should be 150ish. Did you atleast get 14" springs?
Your gear choice is terrible... 2.2 second 60' times, here you come!

You aren't going to do well without some rear suspension parts. Preferably adjustable so you can dial in your anti-squat, instant center, pinion angle and upper control arm pre-load.

Also, a cage? Really? In a 13 second car? Why don't you see what it runs first before wasting your money installing a few hundred pounds of slow your *** down.
