Ok, a couple of questions from me? Type of tranny,T-5 or AOD or other? Tires type and size? do you know the car weight? Im thinking the rest is a stock short block how many miles? Anyway mid to very low 13's around 300hp.

I agree with Intense.

My old Bobcat wagon had the same heads untouched, 650 Holley, .498/280 hyd cam, flat top TRWs, 2800 stall C-4, 3.89 gear and ran 12.50s @ 106 no bottle. It had 235/60/14 M&H street stickies and hooked decent, 1.75-1.85 60 ft. times. Probably could have gone faster if I tuned it a little more but WTH, it was a bracket racer. Oh yeah, it weighed 2840 lbs with driver. Have been told that those times at that weight translates into 291 HP at the wheels.
I suspect that with sucky street tires, stock '93 weight and roughly the same HP as my old combo you will run low to mid 13's.
It's all about power to weight, PLUS traction! :Track: and be sure!

A bigger better meter, and it will be at 300rwhp.
On regular street tires probably high 12's, add drag radials and 12.5 shouldn't be a problem.

Expect high 14's and that way you'll be really happy when you actually do run.

With an engint combo like that, low 12's high 11's, but on stock suspension and street tires, probally low 13's high 12's.

+1. Maybe not the track right now, but get that on a dyno.

I would think about 300rwhp and you should be able to get into the 12's. My full weight vert went 13.50's at 101, NA on the stock long block.
