You're gonna have a rough time on street tires! The stall is gonna blow them away! You need at least some DR's! With a lot of finesse launching it, you might see a 12.50 out of it and will probably trap 110 or so.

I dug up one of my old timeslips from when I had an LS6 crate motor (with LS6 heads) in my car with a 3800 stall and 3.73 gear - I ran 12.13 @ 112.09 w/ 1.67 60'

That was on 16" ET Streets - you'll be lucky to see a 1.9 or 2.0 on street tires!

I went 12.554 @ 111.12 mph 1.980 60' with what's in my sig. on Goodyear Eagle F1's. I actually slowed down on Drag Radials, 60' didn't improve much either. I think it's the gears. The 12.55 run was in 70 degree weather and 65% humidity. Best 60' on DR's 1.885, 78 degrees w/ 64% humidity 12.599 ET . Go figure.
