I assume you'll have all bolt-ons prior to Cam? Low 11's is still kind of a tall order for a M6 on stock heads with the MS3. Honestly I would expect high 11's with good driving. But I do think your low to mid 11 is possible if you make absolutely sure of three things.
1). You must have an upgraded intake manifold. LS6 minimum but I highly recommend the Fast LSX with 90MM throttle body.
2). Good tune! I have heard of M6's hitting 415 rwhp with that cam on stock heads but a good tuner is vital.
3). Traction! Slicks and your launching is key to reaching your goal.
I like your cam choice. I hear that cam is not only a madman but relatively street friendly in M6's (with a great tune). And that cam absolutely loves N20. If your willing to put a 100-150 wetshot on top of your setup then forget low 11's and say hello to 10's
Good luck and hopefully some M6 guys running that cam will chime in and give you some hands on info/advice.

Will you be running it on a stock short block? Id say youd be better off getting a slightly smaller cam, such as an f14, and then get a set of PRC (or another reputable brand) 5.3 Liter heads, that way youd have a more streetbale combo, would make more power, and wouldnt have to spin your stock short block to 6800+ rpms as thats what you will probably have to do to hit mid to low 11's with that cam and thats gonna be quite stressful on your engine. As darren said you def gonna need a fast 90/90 combo as an LS6 wont breath quite well enough to supply that cam and reach optimal power levels, but again with a slightly smaller cam you could stay with the ls6 intake (which would save you $1300 for the fast set up) and you could use that money for some nice heads, which would net you more power in the end. If your set on the MS3 then def get a fast 90/90, and all bolt-ons (headers and true duals a must). The 12-bolt and the slicks though will def help a ton in hitting the ET's your lookin for. It is possible to hit low 11's and even high 10's cam only (as some people on the board have done so) but you have to rev the hell out of your car and really know how to launch. Suspension is also gonna be key as your gonna need a drag set-up to launch and hook up. Good luck with the build though and let us know how it turns out!
I have a baby B-1,stock long block,most bolt-ons and unlightened.I shift at 6200 and slipping the clutch because of traction issues I run whats in the sig off the street on M/T's.Get a cam for torque not high RPM horsepower.
