Default Can I make it?

Hey guys I got a 86 Monte Carlo SS with a 355 with vortec heads, zz3/4 cam, eddie eps intake, carter 625 carb, hooker headers, built 200-4r tranny, 3500 stall w/lock up, 3:73 gears

my fastest pass has been an 8.07 at 84 mph in not the greatest air and i was just wondering if you guys think i can break into the 12s

all the online conversions say 12.6x but i dont see that i mean i can see a FI car running 8.0x and going that fast but not a carb car mine doesnt have the 1/8th mph or top end but idk im hopin for a 12.8x pass at like 107 or 108 but idk

and you guys running 4:10 gears running about the same i am... are you crossing the 1/4 finish line in 3rd or 4th gear?
