Also, judging by these numbers, what mods would it take me to get maybe a 7.99? Keep in mind stickier tires and gears will have to wait until I get a stronger rear end.

8.3 x 1.565 (trusty conversion factor) = 12.98.

And if you need to wait to get the stickier tires, I think you might have to wait for the 7.99 also, unless you have something in mind that adds 40-50 HP.

Ehh I guess I could add a cam but I suppose it looks like it will have to wait. I'm just suprised my 10 bolt has held up this long.. 50 or so passes? maybe more I still can get full bolt ons I suppose, would get me close I think.

That conversion factor is quite a bit off for my car. 1/8: 8.534 @ 87.38, 1/4: 12.979 @ 111.57.
8.534x1.565 would put me at 13.355. Maybe it would be more accurate on a car that has stickier tires and can pull a decent 60'.

With almost 2.0 60ft's the 10 bolt should last a while

Yes, it is assuming decent traction. All combos are a little different, but usually pretty close to that 1.565 +/-.

An 8.53 would normally be 13.30's, but 112 MPH is giving you a good top end charge. With better traction, mid 12's or better are possible.
