lid, p&P tb (or aftermarket), ls6 intake (or aftermarket 92-102 fast), UD pulley, ram air, larger maf (or SD tune), dyno tune, headers, ORY (or high flow cats), cutout (or catback)...
that should about cover it...
someone else can cover suspension
also 11.50s will not happen without weight reduction in a ls1 SI car...

i have an LS2 bolt-on only car (its not a camaro, its a vette so its is lighter) an i would skip out on the maf and catback. usually the stock maf is good till about 500 hp atleast on the LS2 it is. i have electric cutouts right before the stock mufflers and made back to back runs with them open and closed and it made no difference in mph or et with the same 60'. some people say that the rocker arms are not a bolt-on.
i think you should be able to get a bolt-on LS1 in the 11.5 range, im getting my vette in the 11.1x-11.2x at about 122 mph with just bolt-ons. my only mods are 3.42 gears (i have the A6), yank 3600ss, LG PRO longtubes w/high flow cats and electric cutouts, vararam, FAST 92 ported, ported tb, 160 t-stat, and tune race weight is about 3300 with me and my drag tires and rims.
good luck maybe i can catch up with you at pbir sometime since im in jensen beach area.

I know you "bolt-on" rockers, but they aren't a "bolt-on."
If you're not willing to take weight out of the car, you're going to have a helluva time getting an 11.5 with a stock motor. You can have some very good DAs down in FL though.

If you want a track tire I would never go with the nitto. They are better then typical street tires, but not nearly as good as MT ET Streets. I see people all the time talking about still spinning all the time with nittos.

Suspension will help you get there. Putting the power to the rear wheels doesn't do any good if the tires don't make the car move.
I'm a fan of torque arm, LCAs and shocks.
Other 'bolt-on' items include the springs (don't need tools to do that one),panhard rod, some go w/the phr brace. and of course the 'popular' 12-bolt or 9". . .
IF N02 is bolt-on, I've gone mid/high 11's (11.74) with stock block/cam/intake...

It looks like you have plenty to gain in your 60 ft. Judging by the mods you have listed I'd look into gears and more converter. If you like the yanks then go with their pt series and at least 4k stall speed. I also agree with ditching the nittos for a mickey. Get that 60 ft. down as much as you can and see where you end up then figure out if you need to ditch more weight.
