There are really too many variables to give an accurate guess IMHO. Bone Stock LT1s run mid to high 13s at some tracks and modded LT1s run high 13s at others. Go to your track and see what she runs. That is your best answer.

Asr_off, those are some NICE times without even having headers! I guess Texas really does take off half a second! 
I am basically at Sea level and on a 75ºish day I trapped 104 with my headers!

low 13s for sure. A factory freak, yes, I could see some 12 passes possible. I have seen some strange things at the track.
Just as others have said, just run it to atleast give you a baseline. Than go from there.

Yeah running in nevada is alot slower then taking your car to sac or down to sea level, my friend has almost droped a full second just driving to sac, i will definantly let all you know how its turns out. For changing my rear after about 10 passes? What would you advise getting, i really dont think that the mods im getting done are going to be enough to break stuff but i colud be wrong, and im going to just be on some drag radials, not slicks (bfg's)??????
It REALLY depends where your are.... two Xmas's ago at houston raceway park with ONLY free mods, home-made CAI, home made exhaust cutout after stock cat, pulling off my serpentine belt, and my own LT1 edit tune. I ran 13.03 @ 104.55 1.89 60'
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS BONE STOCK! the DA was -2000 feet as well.

My car with a MTI CAI, LM, Vigi 3200 on Kuhmos, 17s all four ran 8.58 in the 1/8, stock manifolds, cats, all the stock suspension including the shocks from 93 and factory 3.23s. His set up down here in good air, tires, skinnies, no front sway bar, basic weight reduction would hit bottom 13s easily at HRP. Its all about the DA here in the south, thats why we run so good 
Were do you get this information from? This is an auto car, the 10 bolt will live a long while. I have a couple buddies that have hit 10s and 11s on their 10 bolts with autos and they all lived. Theres a guy on CZ28.com in the low 11s in a TH350 car with a 10 bolt right now. In an auto the 10 bolt will take some abuse, nothing like in a six speed car, thats were they get the bad rep from. His car shouldnt have any problems at all brekaing a 10 bolt, even on tires.
