Default what should I expect?

First post as well as first ls build. Just wanted to know what everyone thinks that I should expect power/ quarter mile wise.
Sbe lq4
eps 230/242 595/595 112+3
317s milled .20 ,bowls blended, competition 3 angle vj, dart 2.02 1.60 valves exhaust ports raised
Vic jr intake
750 dp
Th 350 trans 3600 stall
9" ford 4.56 gears (may change to 4.10)
Vehicle is a 81 pontiac grand prix thats mostly a street car. May hit the track a few times out of the year. Once I get everything dialed in, I plan to hit it with about 100 shot. I'd be happy with a mid 11 sec n/a street car for the time being. Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions

Your setup is really close to mine. Do you know how much your car weighs?

I would be happy if my car ran similar to yours. Do you drive it on the street much?

It should meet your mid 11 goal no problem if it is well sorted out. On the nitrous 10s should be easy.

That's a lot of gear with the 4.56 not sure how well the car will leave. The motor will make power for sure. Guessing you are going to be on a 15 inch Drag radial or slick? Any suspension mods on the rear? boxed trailing arms? Racing shocks?

If you can cut a good 60Ft you should go mid to high 11's

With 100 shot spray low 11 or high 10 maybe.

im gathering suspension parts now. I already have boxed trailing arms. Im going to be running coilovers in the rear, tubular a arms in front with adjustable coil overs as well. As for the 4.56's, they're already in the rear so I'll see how the car acts and make changes if need be.
