TBI performance

Hi guys, well I am back to plan #1 sort of for the WTM. Back to a TBI engine (since I got a free engine to use for my build) so Myself and the owner of Visions of Speed (who has a TBI truck) are going to see how far you can push a stock cubed TBI engine. We've been putting in alot of book time and I have been corresponding with Turbo City (One of the leaders in TBI performance) and we think we may be able to surprise you with some results.
Here is the new goal:
Build a 12.xx second street car using a stock block and factory heads (they will be ported) and keep the price reasonable.

The block is going to be .030 over but otherwise it will be stock except for valve reliefs in the pistons and obviously a cam change.

What do you guys think? can it be done? I am VERY optimistic, especially with the Formula only weighing in at 3200 pound curb weight.
Also if anyone is interested I can start writing up how to install this stuff, what it costs and what gains/losses it makes since I have all the free dyno time I want it should be easy. Don't know how many of you besides myself but there is probably alot of tricks that are similar to Carb's. So let me know and I can start writing it out
