Please tell me that you meant mid to high 11's, not mid to low 10's.

You will need more than a cam and converter to get you to mid to low 10's

...like the !EVERYTHING mod. A 2800lb car (driver included) needs about 450rwhp to turn a 10.7 according to the trusty calculators.

Still doubt you would even run that on the spray. My full weight car, TSP 231/237, A4 all the bolt ons and a TNT 100 shot went 11.002 @ 122mph. That was giving it all it had. You could prolly get a mid 10 but your going to need alot more then just the things listed. Your going to need suspension, wheels/tires, gears, !weight and etc.

Now as for a cam, I had the F13 and a TCI3500 with 3.73's and loved that combo. It would cut 12.0/12.1 @ 116 all day long N/A in my full weight car.

anything is possible..........just check some of the other guys setups on here(10 sec. club) and you will find what your looking for, but its not easy to run 10's and keep a nice car, I've been trying it with a 3650lb raceweight and its not easy. Go buy a sawzaw and all the mods you listed plus n2o and a better rearend.
