I have one and have been around these cars a good bit lately. They make great power but 11.90s is a bit of a stretch stock...

I still like my FE too though.....
I have a 2011 5.0 auto.

Back in March at Cecil County, I went 11.88@118 with just a tune and drag radials. The DA was -1600'

A week later at Island Dragway, the DA was +600 and I went 12.09@116.6, again just a tune and drag radials.

That's with the car shifting at 7100. Add a Boss intake and the car will hold the power higher allowing you to shift much higher. A stick car launching 6k and shifting over 7500 would definitely get you into the 120's.
