many H/C LSx street cars running mid 10's and trapping mid 130's.
I can't even tell you how many H/C LS1's I've beaten...or built LS1's
with blowers/turbos/nitrous for that matter. Your statement isn't all
that accurate.
You would've had your hands full with my car back when I only had a pulley and a few bolt ons (bottom 11's)
given the mods in your sig.

The LS platform responds better to mods when comparing naturally aspirated setups. That's the beauty of the LSx platform. N/A power is outstanding, where the mod motors don't have that. We're talking about simple bolt ons to a blower car though, big difference.

I guess it's a street car then?
Your definition of a street car needs work. 
There definitely are 10 second H/C cars (and 9 second H/C cars). However, there aren't that many in comparison to all the H/C cars out there.
I'm well aware of what a H/C LS1 can do and I know a hell of a lot of people here that have done it. So, I certainly don't need to be lectured by
some new guy about our members here. But thanks for your concern anyway.
It sounds like you ran into some week 03/04 Cobras though.
like you have a pretty potent combo.

Maybe with those east coast -DA days its possible, but out here in +2000DA regularly The cobras don't run nearly as strong in the heat.
With just a cam and different wheels and some suspension pieces I run 6.5's@103-104mph and 10.20's@132 in +2500DA. With a FAST 92 Intake and some ported heads Id easily be in the 9's.
I think it would be a close race but my cam only+nitrous car regualrly beats down 90% of the600-700RWHP whippled cobras and GT's at the track, However if they throw in some race gas and are set on max effort mode theres no doubt a 2.8 whippled cobra @25+psi on C16 could probably edge out my junk *** cam and nitrous combo.
Moral of the story is yes I agree that a good amount of LSX H/C cars don't run as hard as they should, whether it be mismatched combos, shitty drivers, or various other excuses, but you can make the same case for 03-04 pullied/bolt on cobras.
A H/C/N20 in an Fbody can run right with and 50% of the time right past whippled Cobras on the street and at the track. Both cars are cabable of mid-high 9's on stock shortblocks. Both have potential.

As far as The OP's question goes, If you had a converter I'm sure the race would be all yours... 450RWHP and 500RWTQ that your car should be making, would be enough to make this a drivers race, whoever gets off the line first will probably take it.
With a 6 speed on the street he may have some difficulty getting off the line. In addition to the heat soak he'll have from driving it around town, unless you agree togive him 30 minutes for him to ice down his heatsoaked blower

My Daily Driver car ran 6.90's@98MPH with headers, 125shot, 3600 converter, drag radials, and the usual other bolt ons. There wasnt a single bolt on/pullied cobra in the area, running better than 7.20-7.30@ low-mid 9XMPH consistantly.
