Not to take anything away from that car, if it was running NOS it would not be that hard to do. You could build up a stout L82 with all the stock externals but a nice 10:1CR motor with nitrous cam inside. Without nitrous an easy 300HP at the rear wheels and hit it with a 200 shot and bingo you are running mid to low 10's

I like the recapped tires, and I gotta rig up something to spray water on my rear tires for smokey burnouts
