Hell yeah man. I'm hoping by this meet i'll have my SS/TC front lip and some Modern Performance matts. Then over the summer i'm starting my nitrous build. Gonna get a ZEX wet kit (55-75 shot), bottle warmer, remote bottle opener, window switch, Autometer Cobalt series nitrous pressure gauge and a CA steering column pod Shooting for mid 13's by the end of the summer 
Whats going on with your motor? Have you dyno'd it yet?

If 400 wheel hp isn't enough to pull away then I've got a problem with my ride. I am still considering a nitrous setup along with everything else. It'll be most likely in the higher gears so I still have traction.

I should be at the 255whp mark with the 75 shot. Expecting low-mid 13's with drag radials up front.

how isn't going to be really hard. Look up what some of the better tuners have been able to do with the tvs. lsjwannabe got 313 out of just having the 2.75 and a 3" exhaust plus the other small things needed for it to work. Area47 put down 342 with just a spring upgrade and a tune that he did himself. They didn't go into the engine at all, nor did they have the head ported and valvetrain upgraded to handle a higher redline.
The tvs can be an absolute monster if you give it room to breathe. The pistons are going to be plenty strong to handle the extra boost forced into it. But the boost won't be that bad because the head will be ported to allow extra airflow. Plus the cams that I have are a supercharged grind from gm racing. Add into the pot methanol injection to help keep the temps cool for the supercharger to minimize heatsoak and cool off the pistons to allow for more timing. The more safely you can advance, the more power there is to be had.
So I really don't think that the number will be that hard to reach. And if not then I know I will be close to it.
