You would be comfortably inside the 13's with that setup.

There are plenty of things you can do. Cam, 1.6 RRs, maybe port your TPI plenum, port and ploish your heads. My choice would be the cam.

Then go the TC route...it is relatively easy to do (though messy) and it REALLY should be done once you change the cam and heads anyways. So jump the gun, and do the TC first.. and then when you get your next "Need For Speed" urge, then you can go the cam and head route and have a TC already waiting for you.
if you ask me the Magnum TPI was a failure. they spent all that money throwing parts at the car and they did not even try to go faster with tuneing. Tuneing is the biggest single improvment you can do for your car other than a power adder. tuneing of your car can ammount for as much as 1/2 a second or more in the 1/4 mile. When i went from 7 deg of timing to 10 deg and jumped the fuel pressure to 50 psi i slowed down 4 tenths at the track. octain boster gave me 3 tenths back and when i droped the timing back to 7.5 deg and the fuel pressure to 47 psi i went 2 tenths faster than the previous best run of the day. These are minor adjustments that made a huge diffrence at the track. The moral of the story is that you can probly get to 13's with your current setup if you tune it to make max power. 13's are not hard to get from an l98 car.
Mkos1980 you have every mod i had and the base when i ran a 13.6 you just need to coax that extra bit out of your engine. That and you need to leave the line harder.
