I run 12.2-12.3 with the hotcam and drag wheels. Dial in your setup and you should have no problem getting there.

With that T-56 you'll like some 3.73 or 4.10's next.

Yeah, it will be a nicer improvement than you might be thinking. I haven't had my car on the 1/4 yet so the 1000 ft is all the numbers I have to offer but I went from consistently running 12.0 - 12.1's stock to running 11.0's with the hotcam kit, headers, and a shift kit. I only wish my car was a T-56 with some 4.10's!
