Default what will a stock car run with a hook and som gear

On a stock car with nothing other than lid and catback and free mods, no weight removal except jack spare and sway bar. You can change shocks lower control arms and torque arm 4.10-430 gears in 12 bolt and light weight wheels with drag radials. What do you think a car with this set up will run and do you think it would make a good heads up class?

My car stock ran a 12.9 with a 1.96 60ft. If you had 4.10's, slicks, etc... and cut a 1.6x 60ft time I would think a 12.20 or 12.30... the stock clutch wouldn't take too many of those though.

You could probably wave bye bye to the rear as well.

You think a 12 bolt would not hold up with drag radials and a all stock engine?
And yes a aftermarket clutch would be a definate part of the package as would a converter for the auto cars.

In an auto car.. forget the gear. Use that money towards a converter.

I missed the 12 bolt. The title threw me off "what will a stock car run" Yes I know a 12 bolt will hold.

People have sneaked into 11's with only sticky tires, cutout, lid, and gears. They also had easy weight reduction. No seats, spare tire, jack, swaybar, and lightweight wheels and light driver.

My wifes WS6 went 12.8@110 with just a lid with the stock filter still in place. I think that with just some tires and a gear change 12.20s would be within reach.
