Are 12's within reach?

these are pretty much the mods i got but its got the stock clutch and street tires do you think i can make 12's with this setup, and is it ok to do a 2000rpm launch on street tires i dont want to break my rearend but ive been told it should hold as long as i dont got dr's or slicks.

the car dynoed at 426rwhp by the way so what you guys think and any pointers.

If your clutch is holding up (which it shouldn't for much longer putting that much HP down) , throw some stock-size Nittos on the back, heat em up good, and haul @$$ into the 12's... shouldn't be that hard.

12s should be no problem with those type of dyno numbers.

Should be in the low 12's easy with your hp. You will probably run in the 12.8's without DR's just because you will be spinning.

i heard that the clutches in the 01 and 02 ss's are the same clutches that they put in the zo6's so im guessin that the clutch can hold alot if it's in the z06
