I will still maintain that you do not NEED 500 HP to go in the mid 12s either.
Here are some calculators that reflect weight and HP to validate that-
ET-MPH-HP Calculator
Drag Performance Calculator
HP/ET Calculator
TCI - TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Racing Calculators
Before you dismiss that- here are some real world mild Novas that run mid 12 and none have 500HP.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
