depends on the driver.

"425 hp engine" leaves us with quite a few unknowns...

Gotta be atleast 12's... since stock ls1swapped 3rd gens do that no problem typically

Based on the basics because we ave no cubes, TQ or anything.
On street tires you will hit high 12's

too many variables. a typical stock LS1 makes 350hp at the crank, and in a 3rdgen itll pull a mid - high 12 in good weather, with a good track, and a skilled driver

so, theoretically, a 425hp 3rdgen should run high 11s - low 12s on a perfect run

however, we know nothing about your engine or car. would need # of cubes, cam specs, cylinder head data, exhaust setup, tires, etc, to make a real guess
