Could this get me in the 12's?

Could this get me in the 12's?
2000 SS A4 ran 13.6 ET with Lid and MagnaFlo muffler alone. I've been told that the car also has a Detroit Locker by previous owner. Car was stock otherwise. Are my expectations realistic?
Recent upgrades include:
LS6 intake (EGR deleted)
ported throttle body
Next upgrades:
SE or TSP 1 7/8" LT's
Poly mounts
Blackheart Duals (or SE Y-pipe with true 3" back to Magnaflo)
Dynotune or Frost tune
Trans cooler
My dilemma:
Blackheart True Duals or SE Y-pipe with custom 3" back to MagnaFlo. If I went with the Y-pipe, I could also get a SSRA for less money than the duals.
I already know that a good TC alone would get me low 13's. But I've decided to do intake headers and exhaust first.

Has the car been tuned up ? Plugs, wires ?
what gas were you running?
Did you put the transmission in D and let it shift or did you manually shift it ?
101 mph is slow unless I'm missing something

I was actually pleased with the 13.6 ET for a stock car. This is my first muscle car(Im 44yo). Car is high mileage car(192K) but previous owners took exceptional care of the car and both 40+yo. 93 octane. Previous owner replaced plugs/wires 25K ago. Might need to look at plugs when I do headers. Car also has new 4L60e at 170K.
I put the car in D, had foot on brake with RPM's at about 2K before launch.

I really need to at least ride in a car with a stall, don't I? LOL I get the concept but it seems to me that the stall only helps you off the line. Sure, I want to run in the 12's, but that's for for bragging rights. I'm not a drag racer and don't plan to run at the strip every weekend. This car is a toy and a cruiser.

I have a yank ss3600, Lt's, 3.73's and drag radials.
My track times: 12.2@111 mph. 60' 1.71

My car was able to run a best of 13.197@106.93mph and 2.09 60' with stock stall, 3.23, full weight, lid, ssra, full exhaust, tune on street tires in 2500 da.
You either need mineshaft air or a stall. Mineshaft air da got me 12.6 with the same car as above. Just the addition of a ss3600 and mt drs on car listed above netted me 11.9.
Do a ss3600. Great converter.

Yea 13.6 @ 192k is impressive! I wasn't knocking the time the mph just looked low to me but as others have mentioned bad air will cause that.
Yea I would go ahead and change the plugs and wires since your doing headers anyway
What headers you looking into ?
