Is the one in your sig the 91z? If it is, where is the f40 wing that the 91-92 cars came with? I wouldn't do H/C just yet and gear swaps don't show much in these cars with the stock TPI intake. Another thing, are you positive that it is a 350 L98 motor in there? Alot of them are 305 TPI cars.
The first thing I would do is put a set of headers on the car and a decent size stall. My cousin's car ran 13.0 with just a 2800 stall and a set of SLP shorty headers he had nothing else done to the car. Mind you this is with the stock garbage intake. If he had an intake it would have been well into the 12's.
So for your car I would just do a Holley Stealth Ram and some headers and maybe a catback and stall. It will still drive like stock and run somewhere in the 12's, any faster and most likely you will have to go into the motor. We got my cousin's car to run 11.80's on motor H/C/I thru mufflers, full weight, everything in it and on 3.42 gears we put in when we took out the 3.23's
