Default New best today. What will it take to reach next goal?

I went to the track today and ran a new best. Car is an 01' WS6 6-speed, Procharger at 9 lbs., LT's and cutouts, moser 9" with ET streets. Bone stock suspension and full weight. The track is at 5000' elevation.
60' 1.83
1/8 7.81 @ 92.59
1/4 12.05 @ 116.02

I am moving down to SoCal next month and am wondering what you guys think I'll be able to run at sea level? Are 10's possible? What will it take? The car dynos about 490rwhp.

Yea, altitude sucks! It's hard to get credit when the car runs 1/2 a second or more slower than everyone else.
