If you can drive it good it should be in the 11's but its goin to be hard to hook with a 150 shot and 4'10's, and the steel driveshaft isnt goin to add power its actually goin to loose a few b/c the stockers are aluminum

If you dip into the 11's, the track will want to see a rollcage in your car.

You might want to consider doing some suspension mods also. get that power down to the pavement.
