Heck, I have a similar setup in mine; TE44, MSD50's and mine runs 12.5's all day long on street radials (not stickies), and this on 93 octane pump gas (no alky).
One big difference though, I have a big V2 sitting out front. Don't know how much difference that would be

But if, and it's a big if, he can get some good tires/slicks, and launch hard with GOOD race gas, race chip, etc. He should be able to pull some low 12's.

Oughta be close none-the-less.

Oughta be close? Honestly I don't think his dad will need the Nitrous to beat him. As much as I love these cars and want to see them spank ANYTHING they line up next to REALITY has to set in at some point. His dad HAS RUN 13.0s in the Chevelle. He HAS NEVER RACED HIS CAR. He lists his mods and asks "What should it run?" I'm not picking on the fellow so don't take it that way. What I am saying is there is no replacement for EXPERIENCE in this case. He needs to be a good driver in a well tuned car to give a 13 'OH' car PLUS a 150 shot (~11.7 et) any kind of decent race AND he would need good traction. Honestly he should be happy that the ass whiping is coming from his Dad and some unknown punk that would try to take his girlfriend.

think about how bad his dad is gonna tree him
