depends on what your goals are in your car, with the combo below my car could run a mid to high 14 with a posi rear and real tires (i have a 351w). Over summer, I plan on doing more aggressive things, such as ported heads (or aluminum ones if i have money), a compcams 274XE cam, 650 Holley double pumper, keep my exhaust, and a Weiand stealth... plus the MSD igntion and accel coil already on my car... should be good for 13s. Your car is a bit heavier, so you might see slightly higher times, but that gives you an idea of what mods on a 351w will do.

Stock cams are pathetic. No lift, no duration, no power. If it has a stock timing chain I think the cam comes retarded. That all adds up to missing hp. Pick a cam company and tell them what you have and what you want and let them help you pick one. Intake and cam are a package deal so make sure they are compatable.
