I would say you should be close but there's only one way to find out.

If it hooks I say 10's should be there. A friends 93 vert with 347 S-trim(13#'s), ran 10.50's on slicks and 10.80's on drag radials. Only got one pass on the slicks, since the track was so crowded that day. This car had all the ammentities(AC,PS,heat, full interior,roll bar, etc..) His race weight was 3900 with him.

I think you should reach your goal no problem if traction is there...

Here a couple pics of the vert I am talking about...
