ok, things you must know about LS1s. #1 they are overpriced. #2 buy a 6.0 LQ4 truck motor.
now, i know what you are thinking, LS1 is aluminum and you want to keep the weight down. well the cast iron block motors only weigh 70 lbs more. an LS1 will be $1500+ an LQ4 would be from $700 - $2000.
as for the answer to your question.. a LSx motor with a cam and nitrous would easily push that car into deep into the 9s. and still make 15+ mpg
