Default any guesses on a time?

Here's the list of mods for my 01 m6 trans am:

224/224 .581/.581 112 lsa
stage 2 heads 59cc
hooker lt's w/ y pipe
electric cutout
dr
stock rear w/ 3.73's
160 thermo
underdrive pulley
custom dyno tune
sfc
lca
stb
line lock

-Our local track is about 175 ft above sea level. I'm on the stock rear and have a p.o.s. clutch. The best I could run stock was 13.3. I'm curious now on what I could run. I dynoed @ 415 w/ stock catback, drag radials, and through a lovely humid nc day. The guy told me to come back w/ different exhaust and street tires on hopefully a better day and I would see much better results. Plus Im on the look for a bigger dd cam for my car. I have tried running it twice and I got a 12.80 w/ 1.90 60' @ 109- 13.0 w/ 2.0 60' @ 112 mph. I couldn't for the sake of me to get it to go into third gear either time. I took three tries to get it in gear. I know my clutch is a p.o.s., and I just had the synchros replaced a few months ago. I"m going to replace it soon. (christmas gift from the wife) Any guesses on what it could run? I've seen guys with a similar setup run deep into the 12's and even 11's.

I would guess with any luck and traction a really low 12.

I just can't seem to get the mt's to hook the same everytime. one time its a 1.9 60' and the next its a 1.90+. I do a good 3-4 second burnout, but never really see a lot of smoke. I'm looking at maybe trying to do around a 5 sec burnout with about a 2500 launch. I'm trying to get into the habit of doing everything the same so its easier to remember and make the necessary adjustments.

2500 rpm? Only thing the car will do if it hooks at that rpm is bog, get a 9" and side step the clutch at 5-6k

Yeah thats Y I'm launching there is because of the stock rear. I dont have $2500+ laying around for a new rear just yet. I know with a higher rpm launch would also improve times.

It's tough on the clutch, but slip it out kinda fast at about 4000 rpms.

4000? I don't think my clutch could handle that. It's a pos.
