you must think so since you posted in the 11 second forum lol

As I was reading down your list heads/cam/stall /long tubes/decent stall I was thinking 11's sounded conservative - many cars make 11's stock internals never mind heads/cam but as I read on I have to say no not going to happen... Anyone looking to get et's out of a 4th gen should start with wheel tire combo to hook it , bad 60 foot bad pass...... 15" or 16" wheels with a good drag radial. A tire made for cornering with no sidewall has no chance of hooking a heads/cam/stall car. Then that ls1 intake is going to restrict your heads/cam.

I think you have already spent the money on a lot of the components needed to far exceed your goal but the devil is in the details , it has to hook , it has to have good match between components and then be tuned properly to take advantage of the properly matched components and then its up to weather and driver skill/knowledge. If your racing in florida or Denver etc.. high temps , high altitudes ,combination of both , high humidity etc... its going to make it more challenging so need more info on where and when your racing this car.

I would try to rent or borrow some stock wheels with dr's from someone else from the board in your area , even if only for 2 or 3 passes , I have just seen so many threads "went to the track disappointed" and as I am opening the thread I am thinking is this going to be another modded car on street tires thread???? yup just about every time.

I don't think the LS1 intake will keep you out of the 11's its just not optimum to meet the breathing needs of a heads cam setup.

This is all getting tuned before racing it right ?

I have a set of stock wheels sounds like I just need to pick up a pair of dr's for them I just thought the stockers weren't wide enough even with radials. I'll pick up a LS6 here soon, it'll be getting trailored to motorcity speed for a dyno tune as soon as the install is finished this week.
