I have a smaller duration cam N/A stock head M6 that's gone high 11's trapped 116-117 with my Man driving and my best last year on a 1.81 60' and drag radials in the sig. 
Depends on what kind of tire you are using an what 60's you are getting? Taking some weight off with lighter wheels (skinnies) helps losing about 80 lbs of rotating mass. You could easily go 11's as it is with that 3500 stall and a good 1.5-1.6 60'
Heads are going on shortly, I now have another set of track wheels (Convo Pros on Mickey Thompsons seeking some 1.6 shorts)
As long as my car stays above the 11.50 cage rule I am not sticking a roll cage in this car.

You could go 11's no with that cam, you just need to get the 60' down better or race in cool weather when the DA is lower.
Nothing wrong with low 12's at all I've been doing this for a while just decided this was the year for Stage II heads and a driveshaft because I am moving onto very sticky tires and my car dead hooks on drag radials 1.74-1.78 area on a well prepped track so 1.6's will be cake on the Mickey T's

My mods. are close to yours. Bring the 60ft to a 1.6 and you will have it. I have stock sup. except for DMS springs and cut 1.6's on MTDR's. ARGGG, Your in TEXAS that alone should be worth 2tenths.

Went to the track last weekend and ran a 1.73 60' time! (7.77 in 1/8) A good improvement from my previous numbers. The weather is starting to kick butt here, 70-80s in the evening so maybe I will hit my time soon! My goal with this car is to run low 11s, which I know is possible NA. I am so excited the car and I work so well together!!
