Cold Air kit
TFS Elbow
TB airfoil
52 or 58mm TB
pcm tune
electric water pump
underdrive pulleys
a/c delete pulley
egr delete
headers
off road y-pipe
cat-back
gears
big converter
built tranny
good tires

for LT1's they do allow roller rockers as a bolt-on, so you can do them with corresponding valve springs

Do you have a catback ? you could do rockers if youd like. LID conversion. And a good tune. There are alot of other things like weight reduction if you want to get serious.

Full bolt ons and a tune will have you there, if not quicker. Weight reduction will have you in the really low 12s and serious weight reduction will have you in the 11s. Gears, stall and sticky tire will pick up a ton on ET. LTs, catback, RRs, EWP, and TB will have you moving out really good. Don't forget a good tune, whether it be mail order or dyno, although I'd recommend a dyno tune. That recipe and you'll be rolling in a stock long block N/A LT1. Sample some nitrous and enjoy 11s easily. I've been trying for a good while to get 10s with just bolt ons and spray and I'm trying again in April.
