Power mods: EWP, Lid, and a TB if you can find one used for under 150-175, otherwise save the money to put elsewhere.
Drop as much weight everywhere you can. be creative
If you can pickup 15-17hp from the lid/EWP and lose 75-85lbs you should be able to hit 10.90's

Aluminum radiator won't save ANY weight. The stock radiator is very light. A single aftermarket fan can save a few lbs.

If you live somewhere like I do where we run all year long making a pass in the winter time will help tremendously. I usually run a couple tenths faster. Couple that along with the mods listed above expect for maybe the throttle body, you will have a 10sec slip. Good luck.

Are you running a steel driveshaft? My car picked up a solid tenth when going from the stock LT1 shaft to a stock lS1 aluminum shaft and it only cost $100. This car is very believeable b/c I ran 11.20@120.8mph on motor about 5yrs back with a 350"Lt1 setup to run n2o. My car even had factory M6 3.42's in the 10bolt when I ran those times. My friend Frank 95z also ran 11 teens on a stock shortblock LT1 and a baby 224 cam so it's possible but not easy. I think 10's will take better 60' and some awesome weather but possible. Later

in the 1/8 you may....OR you may pick up some due to weight loss, cooler temps compared to normal underhood, and not enough time spent at speed for aero to play a big role.

We had some pretty good air last night considering how humid it has been. Post the slip or the details if you would! Cars running good!

thanks for the help guys! heres a couple of timeslips,
60' 1.522 1/8 7.043 95.66 1/4 11.123 121.13
60' 1.511 1/8 7.066 95.40 1/4 11.158 120.88
weighed the car last night at nyirp and it was 2900 without me and 3110 w/me. There is no metal cut outta the car brackets and all are intact so there is room to go lower.
The car ran the 11.12 with my friend driving (he weighs 170) and the 11.15 with me (210)
