I thought about the same thing, 5.3carb on a 150-200shot somewhat good suspension on a 2900lb car(notch) with a th400/350 damn good stall gears and a meaty tire...but dont know if that set up can go mid 10's on juice...????

My 5.3 with a mild cam and good heads made >400 RWHP N/A (though a T56).
Now, with a turbo on the same setup and 6-7 lbs of boost (intercooled) I ran 122 mph in the 1/4, on a first time ever test pass, picking up over 30 mph on the back half. Car should go 127-128 mph on the same boost if I get it better sorted.
5.3 is a great platform.

That should be good for mid 10s at least. People in full weight F-Bodies/Corvettes are running 10s with that much power without a crazy suspension setup. Hell I saw a mean suspension full weight Camaro pull a 10.9x cam only(400 whp). I can see a nicely set up bolt on+200 shot 5.3 running a very very high 9 in a 2900 lbs car.
