Default Seriously guys, what should it take for me to run 12s now?

Ok i was thinking, i ran 13.7 at 105 spinning thru 2 gears while getting 2.4-2.6 60 fts on the stock engine accord on street tires, 13psi boost, some race gas, on an iffy tune (ballparked at best) the car ran pretty good the other day despite massive traction deficiencies. Anyway, im wondering what you guys think im gonna need to run in the 12s, maybe high 12s. Im hoping that big traction on some 22 or 23 inch slicks should get my 60 fts to 1.9 as a realistic goal, hopefully giving me at least a 6-8 tenth improvement in my et, but im not sure if traction alone will get me into the 12s, possibly better tuning? Im also on the T3 60-63 that i believe to be in a pretty good efficiency range at this power level... maybe 250-260 at the crank give or take... not really sure its kinda a guess, but the car does weighs at least 2600, prolly closer to 2700 with me in it as a conservative guess... What do you guys think, seriously?

Slicks, finish tuning and a 60/63 should get you there

the 60/63 gives me big top end. From a roll on at 45mph just building boost, itll literally blow the tires away at around 5000
