Are you looking for the stock motor with just different heads/cam or replacing the motor and stroking or boring it?

you can run mid 11's with cam only if you have the right setup.

by the right setup, you need all bolt ons, including tb, pulley, headers exhuast/ypipe or true duals, and a solid suspension with traction. traction will be your biggest foe.

Good question. Also what car are you using this for? That may or may not make a difference tech wise...

you will be fine, specially with an auto. just get good tires, do a good heads/cam/nitrous setup and you will be high 10's if you spray 100-150 shot.
