It's just cool to see what would run at a track like Montgomery Motorsports Park or Silver Dollar in Georgia because they are only 400-500 ft. Here is the NHRA's conversion chart if you want to check it out.

My brother's '78 GMC has run a best of a 11.98 @ 112.11 (7.58 @ 92.86 in 1/8) with a 1.71 60' on motor with much less engine than you have. We'd only be in the mid 12's at your track. Here is link to his truck if you wnat to check it out also. http://www.bassettracing.cz28.com/photo2.html

Nice truck your brother has there, I'm allways interested in checking out other drag trucks. Would be nice to make a couple of passes at a near sea level track. But it is cool when you line up against a 440 procharged Challenger, stripped interior, roll bar, open headers etc. and then the look you get when you beat him, PRICELESS. Icing on the cake is when he asks later how big a shot your running and you tell him that was just motor.
