i think so. it all depends on your launch. if you can get traction you can get it.
i would have been in the 13's if i would have done gears or slicks (i have 3.08 gears) and i almost got 13's

Sounds like a 13's car to me... have you done any suspension mods?

Ahh... it may be worth your time to get, at least, boxed lower control arms and stiff rear shocks. This will help your launch.
