mid to low 12's should be really easy with a bolt on only car. next on the list would be long tube headers and a y-pipe to match, if not true duals. if you want the best, go for kooks, american racing, or qtp. then you could port your stock throttle body. you should meet your goal with that. now as far as a cam, heads, intake, etc. theres some really good people on this site that could help you match them all to get the most out of them. you'd probably have more luck posting cam/head questions in the "internal engine" section though.

What is his budget? He needs longtubes/ory and underdrive pulley to finish off the bolt-on list. That and a good set of tires will get him mid-high 12s. Throw a nice little cam (23x/23x) into the mix and he will see low 12s or even 11s depending on the driver, a FAST intake wont be necessary for just 12s.

hooker headers are good, but they're not stainless steel so they'll rust over time. i'm about to order a set of XS stainless steel headers. they're about $425 which is the lowest price you'll find on stainless headers and you'll never have to replace them. and as far as the BBK throttle body, at this point, there's a lot of other things that you could spend the money on that you would get more out of. just port the stock throttle body and not worry about an aftermarket one until you get a new intake manifold and then get a TB to match it.

Verdad Gallardo Hooker headers are great. The throttle body he has should be fine, maybe port it but with the LS6 manifold the throttle body is perfect. Yes the 241 heads are stock.

I forgot to mention that we live overseas and we cant get every part we can order from Thunder racing,Jegs,Summitracing and some other auto shops that they can deliver to us so we're stuck lil bet
That should be perfect for your goals...... just remember some good drag radials and ALOT of pratice at the track. My car went 12.6@110 with a lid, LT, ORY and GMMG catback on street tires w/ 1.93 60'. So those mods with a good tune, set of good tires, and a decent driver should be beyond your low 12 second ambitions. HAVE FUN!

It's a good inexpensive, yet proven cam. Capable of mid 11's give or take depending on the driver and tires.

about the MS4 what recommended parts do we need?
texas speed sells cam kits that come with about everything you'd need. you'll also want an ls2 timing chain and a better oil pump, which you can also get at texas speed. and do know that when you start getting into 11's and run drag radials, your going to need a new rear-end. the factory 10-bolt is the weakest link of the car.
