You'll cut it close depending on DA and stall. LS6 intake would definitely get you there.

What gears do you have? The drag radials might hurt more than help.

When my car had 2.73 gears, the drag radials actually hooked too hard and the 2.73s couldn't break away... my car bogged on the line and went slower.

you should have no problem getting into the twelves if you can hook and you have good air to run in.
