Just a "pull it out of the hat" guess, somewere between 11-15's. Again just a very big guesstimate.

It will run low 13's.
1.Ditch the Weiand Accelerator manifold. Get an Edelbrock Performer RPM ($200.00) 2.That's a pretty big carb for a smallish motor. It will be hard to tune it. If you get it to run good, keep it, if not I would suggest a 750 Vacuum Secondary. 3. A 2000 stall is just crap, for a car with 4.10's. That's barely above stock. Get a 3500rpm one set up for nitrous (it will be tight). Nitrous converters will still flash up on the launch but they aren't real sloppy-loose when you are just cruising around town. Go on Ebay, but DO NOT buy one of those generic converters. Buy a NAME-BRAND used one. The deals are out there. I picked up a BIG$$$$$$ Art Carr converter for $214.00 last year. With these 3 different parts the car will be in the 12's.

If I had to guess I'd say somewhere in the 12s if he can drive.

That post makes zero sense.
12's as it sits, unless it has a stiffer chassis and suspension, then it will be in the 10's???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? To run a 10.99 you'd need about 400HP AT THE WHEELS and a PERFECT set up ie: big stall, slicks, weight transfer, which would equate to about 475 at the crank. Do you really think a 327 cube motor with a dual plane intake and a street cam will hit that? I'd guess and say the car will be around 290ish at the wheels (340 or so at the crank), which is about what a stock LS1 would do. Stock LS1's run low-mid 13's.

how does it not make sense i didnt say just firmer i said a CUSTOM, PROFESSIONAL tubular frame, (it lighter and stiffer) and id figure anyone would know you need slicks to plant the power you gonna need to harness this is pathetic that i have to elaberate so much just to not be considered an idiot... and lets continue since i have to elaborate... roll cage, wheelie bars, 30in slicks not DOT drag radial they wont good enough, heavily modified suspension and the driver himself better be on a diet, a 4link would be necessary, just to run 10's
