I plan on doing mine next summer.......I plan on bolting a turbo to my 350 and doing a similar paint scheme. Keep the pics flowin'....

Same rear gear, 3 k stall, etc...Anyway my truck weighs 3660 and ran a 12.63@108 with a 1.7 60'. I know it is capable of 12.30's. It made 330hp/400tq on the dyno.
Thats what I'm shooting for and what most people say it'll run is mid 12s. It went 11.60s in the Nova.
