Default Heads & Cam ?

Hey everyone, I was wondering whats h/c combo it would take to get an LS1 SS into the low 11's consistently? I was looking at the t-rex cam with some type of heads. (unknown so far) But I dont know if there are any other reputible h/c combos or anything like that? Also it will be my D.D and I will be going with 4.10's (M6) or 4.56's, can someone help with gear selection as well? It will be a 1/4 car as I do not car for top-end. I dont want anything too expensive like ttp's kit ( $5,500). Thanks for the help in advance. Gregg.

Head+cams are not bolt-ons, hence they usaualy do not go in the "external engine" section. You'd have more luck asking in this forum:
