pulling the fronts is all about traction and weight transfer. what do you have under the rear of the car and what are you planning to do to get more grip out back?
i would suggest a bigger stall, think 4000-4400 and take advantage of everything that engine has off the line.

just some suggestions. It should not take all of these to do it because I did it with a 231-237 TSP cam stock rear 3.23 LS6 intake headers and removed front sway bar with stock SS wheels all the way around and ET streets on the rears. It pulled about 2"s off the ground. Stock rear suspension besides LCAs. Stock TA. 4L60e with a tci 3500. Also some weight reduction and battery relocate.
If you still have a front sway bar take it off
Sticky tires
Spool
Short TA
Lose as much weight as possible off the fornt
Transbrake
90/10 front shocks

12secondV6 yanked his front tires on a 13.5 N/A run with a 1.7xx short time last year.
i think everyone is pointing to the same key, it si a traction thing. put the power on the ground and it will put the tires in teh air.

Weight transfer is the key I think. No swaybar, good shocks and good tires should put you there. Oh and a bigger converter.
My pig cuts 1.50 60's on the spray and barely lifts the fronts for a sec. 3600+ lbs street car with a/c. lol.
