How fast can a stock 5.0 go

I'm a twin turbo C4 auto guy now, but back then I was rocking the stock T5
Biggest mistake most guys make with these cars is too much exhaust too soon. I did that through stock ported headers and stock h-pipe dumped after the cats. 3.73 gears. LOTS of gutting and lots of practice banging gears.

I'll find out soon with the twin turbo set up. Last time it was out it coasted to a 13.1@116 letting off at the 1000ft mark (blew an intercooler pipe). Since then I have added a larger thottle body, ported stock heads, and a C4 auto, bigger intercooler and pipes, drag suspension and slicks. Also have some bigger injectors. If it can get enough fuel I don't see why a 10 second pass would be out of the question.
