I'm going to say thats a terrible combo first off.....You may hit a low 13 but your gearing is way too low first off. A truck cam and stock intake is def hurting that motor badly as well, and the 700R4 will not last long if it's stock with that engines torque. Any reason you didn't put a better cam in it?

Re: what will it run

Is your username purposely spelled incorrectly to be witty or can you really not spell Camaro? I hope it's option A

Hang onto those heads, you can get great power out of them after bigger valves and some porting. A mini spool isn't that great of an idea for the street, a posi or locker would be a better choice but of course more money. Slicks are great to throw on and you'll have an easier time hooking up rather than spending time to make the chassis work for drag radials. Another thing is, all the nice sticky compounds in the drag radial go bye bye quicker when driving them on the street. How far is the track?

Re: what will it run

Same distance as the one I go to. Got a trailer or know of someone who does? Stick that sucker on it and go make some runs or get it legal for the road.
