Are you serious?
If you are, obviously you havn't learned much about forced induction. A stock motor with the right charger and cam can run 10s these days.
I am going to guess 7s? maybe 8s?
Edit:
I didn't make it far enough to see th 1/8th times so I am glad to see my guess were in the ballpark.

Isn't it insaine that to take your 10.xx car "just" 3 seconds faster it takes that much more money, effort, and time.
10 sec = a few grand
7-8 sec- many grands! hahaha

Still being somewhat cautious, I took it to our local event this past weekend
first qual....starting to figure out the spoolup issues I was dealing with. Had reasonable launch boost (5.6 psi) which resulted in a 1.40 60'. went 5.30 @ 145 @ 25 psi peak
2nd qual....dialed more rpm on the two step, but when I was bumping in the prestage, I went too far and lit both bulbs and ended up with way too low boost. Total mental error on my part, should've just sat on the line to build better boost
Resulted in a 1.55 60' and a 5.5x @ 148.... @ 28 psi peak. shawn thinks if I had the earlier numbers on the run, then it would've gone 151-152 at that power level
ended up qualifying #6 out of 11 cars
1st round. the little screws that hold the scavenge pump to the bracket backed out (POS design) and the pump fell to the ground in the burnout box. Got shut off
I had added about 5 more psi of boost for that pass....should've hauled a$$ 
gonna try again tonight on some test hits...
not the best video...the smoke was remnants of the oil in the downpipes burning off...it appears my new catch tank is working...the housings are still oil free

first pass...1.39 60', blew the tires HARD at 100' out....car went completely sideways at 75mph
2nd pass...1.36 60'... had a sync loss with my crank sensor at top of first gear (aborted)...tightened up the gap some more...
3rd pass...1.33 60'...idiots at the track wasn't paying attention and let a truck roll down next to me after I started building boost. Had to back off and restart...most likely overheated the converter/trans and blew through 2nd gear bad
fugger is making some serious power now...hit 33psi...Ended up going 9.80 only in the gas for 300ft

first run (definately drove out of the groove...probably why it spun)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M21M0TGNRfE
third run (blew through the shift and hit the rev limiter...pretty cool fireballs In the gas ~4seconds... and coasted to a 9.80

little update...slowing starting to figure it out... 5.09 @ 153 (1.40)
5.07 @ 153 (1.39)
5.01 @ 154 (1.37)
still need to get the car to accelerate the first 200ft
The MADMAN-tuned suspension really works well when the power comes in
vid of 5.01 pass
