Well probably, if you could get it to 60'. You can NOT have a crappy 60' like that and expect a good et for your mph. ET is all about traction at the launch.
Get a cheap set of spare rims and put a good set of drag radials on them for track use and 60' in the 2.00 or less and get your 13s.

You'd be in the 13's with a minimal improvement in 60-ft. Get it below 2.0 seconds and you'll be running well into the 13's.
