good heads ported (easier would be aluminums ) ,better head gaskets than stock (cometic or rjc) , good arp head fasteners, better cam (consider going roller) , suspension (springs, control arms , swaybar ,shocks, brakes), sticky tires ( mt radials), stout transmission (from a good builder or go th400) , converter that will hold up to over 600hp (Dusty's ptc 9.5 is the shiznit), upgraded rear axles (moser /strange), race gas or alky , good working ignition (consider he TR6 from bailey) ,
plan on upgrading the rotating assembly with forged parts minimum pistons and center mains , lots of tuning and logging...
and double of what you listed as your current parts
83 injectors (or 80s) , twin 340 pumps and with the 66 you be near 30psi on the boost

what combo? you mentioned a t66 with 42s walbro 340 and a front mount that ran high 12s with 15psi and a bad slic
not much of a combo or performance info to go on
with enough boost and a chip that can max out the 42s low 11s are possible even with the stock engine /heads/cam but that wont happen at 15psi more like 28psi on stock heads ..and it wont happen without a good hook and a matched converter . if the converter is stock the t66 will make the car slower in the bottom half of the track than if it were running a stock turbo and would be much quicker on the street with a ta49
on ported heads (champion irons) the 66 at 28-30 psi could support low 10s but youll need an exceptional hook ,matched converter and more fuel ( big injectors and two pumps)

You have a low 10 second turbo with the supporting parts to go mid 11's or so. I don't think an 8.13 is near the potential of what you have, but with only 15 psi your time seems accurate. Add more boost and I don't see why mid to low 11s aren't possible. You need alcohol injection. To run low 10s you are going to need some motor work.
