1st off get rid off that flowmaster sounds awesome but doesnt flow much better than a stock muffler, ditch it for an slp loudmouth.
2nd when I had the hypertech pp 3 I did a before and after on the dyno, 1 without the hpp 3 and the other with it programmed, lets just say I sold the hpp3 the result was threw in a bunch of timing and started to detonate.
Try getting it dyno tuned, with that slp maf it might be sendin mixed signals to the computer.
3rd are you using drag radials??
4th with the 3.73's a stall converter 3000+ stall would compliment that greatly, again would prob need to be tuned.
I would say mid 12's would be attainable if these were done.
Good numbers though with these mods.

Yeah , you should be in the 12's easy with DR's and a good launch. There are alot of Lt1's breaking into the 12's with similar mods, you should have no problem with some DR's.

ditch the chokemaster, get it TUNED, get some tires. hypertech doesnt do anything other than raise the timing so high it almost maxes out the knock sensors with the crap table. then i say 12.7 easily

I love how you guys just keep throwing mods out there. He doesn't need a converter to break into the 12's. He needs to ditch the blowmaster and he's there. Even some better tires and he's there.

My point is he doesn't need a converter to get into the 12's. He needs to maximize the power he's making now which he isn't. If he's having traction issues now a converter sure won't help that
I sure as hell didn't need a converter to get into the 12's

You (Frosty) also have suspension work done to your car, I'm sure that helped your 60 foot.

If he's pulling those 60' times in slicks or D/R's he drives like a bitch
