Default What will I run at the track?

Going to to do some major modifications to my car over the winter. I have most of it ordered already, just need to receive and install. What can I expect at the track? I want to know what the car would be possible of both e/t and trap wise.

This will be the setup:
02 Ls1 Trans Am
M6
3.42 Gears in a 10bolt (stayin unless i break it then ill go 9inch w/ low gears)
Torquer v3 cam w/ dual springs
LS6 intake
Pacesetter LTs
ORY
Dynomouth exhaust
LID, SLP MAf Sensor, Sealed ram air hood, Bellows, !emissions
Tuning by myself with hptuners

Suspension:
275 Nitto 555 drag radials on firehawk rims
SLP valved bilsteins
Eibach prokit
LCAs
Panhard bar
Adjustable Torque Arm
Air bag under rear spring
!stb
1le bars (usually remove the front at the track)

misc: I run 93 octane 1/4 tank at track. Minor weight reductions.
The only issues I have with my car are the clutch is starting to slip a bit at higher rpms. It drives perfect otherwise so I am not changing it yet (probably soon as IK it is costing me a couple tenths, for the purpose of this, assume i have a good clutch.) My 10bolt is probably gonna break.

mike, cut me a break. I am at college and cant drive here my first year. I am feelin very deprived not being able to drive it and I will take it to the track first chance I get in the spring. You just have to bear with me. I just wanted to get an estimate of what is possible. Im hopin to one day get the car to 11s. A high 11 would do the trick so I was just wondering if I should be able to cut it with this setup.
