Default 1965 impala into the 11's?

I'm hoping to be on the road by mid April, and I'm hoping my set up will get me into the 11's.. I have a l92 shortblock
Prc 255cc cnc aftermarket heads
Tsp 235/239 camshaft on a 112
Lunati link bar lifters
Yella terra rockers
Holley hi ram
Fast 92mm throttle body
Long tube 1 7/8" headers
Underdrive pulleys

T56 6 speed built
12 bolt with 4.11
And all tubular global west suspension
I'm thinking the car should weigh in about 3900 with
Me in it. The factory shipping weight was 3550 with a
Power glide and a 327 non ss

I don't see a problem getting there and then some.....as long as you get traction and can shift.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not the best but I'm running a power tower pro 5.0 to aid in the shifting, and I'm running speed density holley efi computer system, and I upgraded the clutch hydraulics for higher rpm shifting, I'll be postic pics up of my build and engine later

You should be able to get into the 11's. It will depend on your driving skills. Check this thread out on Yellowbullet. It is a 5th gen Camaro that is probably as heavy or heavier than your car.
