Default Bench Racing: Opinions on what my C3 might run??

I'm not sure if this is the right topic to post this in. But, I'm curious as to what my C3 corvette might run at the track (1/4 mile)? I'm curious about the ET and the trap speed I should be expecting. I don't remember my specs on everything on my engine, ordered it from Skip White a long time ago. I have the paper work somewhere with all the specs, including the howard
Cam. So I apologize for not having all the information. Mods are as follows:

383 Stroker 483hp/472ftq
-10.5:1 compression
-Aluminum Air Gap dual plane intake
-Aluminum Patriot Heads with better quality hardware
-Aluminum Full roller tip rockers (I forget the ratio)
-Hooker Headers
-Straight Pipe 2 1/2 inch exhaust
-750cfm quickfuel Q-series (soon to get)
-Built TH350 with 3400 Stall converter
-3.23 Gears
-All season tires 245/15's
-Weight reduction: A/C delete, (Aluminum engine parts, except the block), might do some other weight reduction things like leaf spring/seats/trail arms ect., but that's in the future.

I'm expecting to get like a 2+ second 60ft, with the stock rear I will most likely baby it. I'd appreciate any input. I got told different times from people ranging from low 12's, to high 13's. Thanks guys!

Appreciate the response! I had a feeling my ET wouldn't be great. In all honesty, trap speed is what I'm really looking for considering I don't have DR's for this car. I'd be happy if I somehow it 120mph. I'm hoping some fellow c3 owners that have done 120 could suggest some setups. I plan on eventually putting in a bigger cam and some high flowing afr or dart heads, I would love to hit 500hp+ flywheel hp. Lol

Thanks for the response! A lot of people guessed around what you said. Some worse, some faster. I would love to put stickier tires, but until I get my rearend completely built I might have to play it safe. Afraid for the half shafts and diff. Unless DR's aren't that stressful on parts.
