Default Could someone evaluate what I've got/where I could be, please?

I want to get into the 10's, and stay.
Could anyone evaluate all my mods and tell me what they think my cars potential is (either hp/tq NA, hp/tq on N2O, 1/4 e.t, or all?)

Here goes:
WS6 Lower Airbox (sealed to hood)
85mm Airlid
85mm MAF
90mm TPIS TB
90mm FAST intake (port matched)
TSP Race Style LS6 heads
TSP 231/237 .598/.595" 112+2 LSA cam
Chrome Moly pushrods
TR-6 Plugs
Meziere water pump
Jet Hot Longtube headers and y-pipe
Borla Exhaust with QTEC cutout
TCI streetfighter 3200 TC
Stock A4 tranny
Strange CM driveshaft
Strange 12 bolt w/3.73 gears
QA1 Shocks w/matched springs
Racetronix pump w/37# injectors
CM torque arm, LCA's, PHR, and SFC's
There's more but I thought I'd exclude what I don't think is relivent.

Power adder:
NX Dual stage wet kit (new, will dial in on/off rpms in april)
Stage 1: 50 hp
Stage 2: 125 hp (on time delay relay)

Race weight: ~3720 lbs.

My best 60' last year with the 10 bolt (2.73's), and street tires was 1.792. I might get some MT ET Street Radials for the track this year if I have anything left...

I've really changed too much over the winter (including a lot of tuning issues from last year) to even guess where I should be. Right now all I can do is dream.

Ok here goes.

1st off your are at a very heavy weight. 3720 is HEAVY!

2nd TIRES you need better tires.

3rd I say bottom 11's with the way your cars sits now.

4th pull some weight out and run a better tire and you can run 10's all day long.

I wish I could say it's eventually going to get lighter, but it probably won't. Maybe shifter around a little, but still about 3700#

Base 3700#
Upcoming mods:
Swap to 12 bolt, +36lb
Remove rear seats, -19lb
Switch to racing seats, -36lb
Chrome-moly Upper and lower A-arms, and K-member, -90lb
Strange Lightweight brakes, -50lb
Dry Cell battery, -20lb
6 Point Chrome Moly Roll Cage, +60lb
4L80E Transmission (will be backing LS2 402 stroker), +100lb

The final numbers still leave me really close to full weight

And I'm debating between getting 2 Mickey Thompson ET street radials for the 17x9.5" rims I have at home, and saving up a season for some Bogarts and ET Drags.... My main goal to date is to not make a full blown 1/4 mile monster, but a well rounded cruiser/show car/weekend drag machine. I know the Bogarts and ET Drags would be best, but I think I might limit myself to a DOT approved tire. I like being able do drive to the track, dial the QA1's and run. Whatever I get for times that way, I know I'm doing without any real tricks, compared to how I normally drive the car... Sounds stupid to some, but that's what I prefer

Sounds to me you should just get some Mickey Thompson ET street radials. Maybe a better rim like centerlines or welds(I run weld prostars 15x10 with 7.5 back spacing). Don't worry about other people. Just do what makes you happy.
