Street tires?? If so i'd say mid to high 12's would be reasonable.

All else being equal, but with dr's I think you could shave maybe a half second off if you heat them right and hook well

What track?
For you to run 12s with your mods its going to be all about da and traction. Sorry to say it but I dont think you will get it. First its going to take da in the minus which you will probably get but how the hell do you plan on hooking on street tires in cold weather to top it off?
My advice is 1st get some drag radials. Then you can count on the weather to get you 12s. Been there done that and let me just tell you it would be a huge plus for your car to get a ssra.

Do a cam with a stall. Helps much more. Ypu can get a used ls6 intake cheap. Guessing wont help... you just have to do the mods and run it lol.

Mid 13's assuming you launch good. Since its your first time, you'll run 14s probably.

FWIW my car with bolt ons and a auto went 12.8@109 but the DA was -872. I would expect low 13s out of your depending on where you are and how the weather is.

Sounds like you have a great start with solid bolt on's and you are doing it right. I am guessing mid/upper 13's the way she sits with street tires after you learn how to launch. With DR's and a good hook you'll most likely touch low 13's. Add a 3200 - 3800 stall with DR's to the mix and I think you will see that 12.90 - 12.80 goal you have. I'd wait and do H/C/I all at the same time after you have saved up the money. Being you are only 17 and still in school I don't recommend you mod the car much further. It's a still a reliable DD and I'd leave it that way until you have another DD - then mod this one crazy.

I can see low 13s once you figure out how to launch well. I didn't make it into the 12s until I had all the mods in my sig minus the stall and trans cooler. That was on drag radials. Made a 12.8@ 108. Now I'm low 12s with my stall.
