I have the total mismatched car thrown together. Heads, 219, miniram, 3.07.
The best I have gotten so far was 12.58. With a true dual exhaust and a set of 3.45-3.54 gears I'd like to see 11.99. I do think the rear gears are killing me right now.

When my '92 A4 was bone stock, I ran a best of 13.84, par for a stock auto LT1. Adding gears (3.54), a Hotcam, and a 2600 stall TC got me down to the present 13.137, with astonishing 60' times for street tires (see below).
Right now, I'm having long tubes, hi-flow RT cats, and an X-pipe installed. My expectations are around 12.5-12.7, assuming I can still hook.

. Actually your setup is similiar to what I have on my 87 t/a, minus the NOS. What cam are you using?

The performance registry has what your looking for. If its a street legal corvette with IRS and naturally aspirated:
Fortunately through a bunch of hard work and dedication per the registry I would setting at #1 location for having the above specs.
Followed by Corvette1 with his similiar setup at 10.27sec.
Both these cars are the real deal, with full interiors etc. Put a shot of nitrous on them and both would be pushing low 9s.
I will be gravely disappointed this year if I do not crack off a 9.8sec ET naturally aspirated - but that 9sec barrier is a tough door to open.
Again all my gains last year from 10.4 to 10.1 were through refinement of what I already had. Suspension tweaks and attention to detail is where you can make the cheapest and biggest gains. But it requires TONS of time and effort.
I was at walmart last night checking out miniture cameras, that I can mount under my car to watch the rear suspension on launches - to see where my next gains can be made.
It's all part of the process.....

92 LT1 6spd, mods in my sig. 13.45 @108 (2.2 60ft) on regular street tires and ZR-1 replica wheels, spinning like hell. Couldn't find my old slips with my 26X11.5 ET Streets but some where in the low 13.20's with a string of broken u-joints. I've since matched that with my 275 Drag radials and new Alum Flywheel but looking to get a set of 315 DRs and get faster with out breaking anything else in the rear end.
Currently working on a new 383 in my spare time.
