Well 12.9 is still 12s 
So I'd say yea, somewhere in the high 12s is doable. Depends on some Earthly factors too. Sea level, barometric pressure, track temp and quality. Not to mention the driver.

Not to mention the driver. im in north Ga and the temp is going to be in te mid 70's. i have been drag racing for 6 years just new in the lt1 world so i got my fingers crossed for 12.7's to 12.9s
I think with that stall you're more likely to get low 13's.... keep in mind these things generally run low 14's stock..... With a bit mroe stall i'd think you'd have 12's in the bag.... But with a great launch it'll still be possible if you're a great driver...
Don't be suprised if you stay in the 13.teen area...Mine only went 13.33's with a 2800 and full bolt ons at Sea level, no head wind and around 60-65* temps with a 1.89 60ft. I'd look into at least a 3200 or so to get the 60ft down to do a high 12..but it's deff. possible, IMO your going to really need a bigger and efficiant stall
hmmmm then you've got a nice fast stocker..... kinda like mine although mine was a 1LE which gave it a nice weight advantage.... I ran 13.77@102.5 bone stock even with the GM air filter.... but not all do it....
was that 13.5 with your sticky tires????? cuz that is a mod..
What have you installed since the 13.5 that is above and beyond the best pass you've made????

12s are definitely doable.. i ran 12s with just headers/cai/tune/tires.. and i've seen that duplicated many times. Just get that launch down and you're golden, getting 12s out of bolt on LT1s is all about driving.

As stated above your stall speed is a little low on the converter, but it may be possible, the mod list you mentioned isn't too far off from mine and you are at least a couple hunderd pounds lighter since at my last weigh-in my car had a raceweight of 3490#...
You will get there ... 60' is your friend. On those mt's and stock suspension you should be able to cut 1.6's or better.
If it doesn't make 12's, I would think about a larger stall ... a 2400 is damn near stock to me ... but I also haven't been in a vehicle with less than a 3200 in awhile.

I think you might pull it off. There's no way to really tell until you run it down the 1320 though.
Try to go on a perfect weather day. Low humidity and a nice cool night would be best.
