13 flat or high 12's for sure. What kind of 60ft times were you pulling? Is it an auto or a 6spd?

definatley a stall should be next. Depending if you were busting the tires loose, some dr's always help. A stall will help you shoot off the line alot better. If you can get sub 2.0 60 ft times. You will be in the 12's no doubt. I run 12's and have a stock motor. Only performance mods to add hp on mine is a lid and catback. I have gears also, but when i got the dr's i shot well into the 12's. And i have a heavy *** vert also. Good luck, that first 12 is a great feeling

with D/R's you should be 12.5-12.7 or somewhere around there, get a stall next and take a couple of tenths off of that...but with those tires how long do you think your 10 bolt will last? im gonna guess itll be fine for a while since you dont have that many mods yet but its always possible to snap an axle shaft

DRs and a stall, mid 12s all day. Definitely grab a torque arm before or right after that.
