First off its a 93 speed density built A4 with 3200 stall, lt1 355 eagle crank eagle 6 inch H beams rods JE forged pistons 11.5.1 compression. The rotating assy has been balanced the deck on the block was set, and i'm runing a set of lightly ported edelbrok performer heads
with the 195 intake and a 155 exhaust valves. I'm runing a 1.6 roller rocker and the cam is going to be A Comp cams grind in the range of 242/248 584/579 with a 113 lsa. I have a full ported lt1 intake port matched to heads bbk 58mm throttle body 37lb injectors adjustable regulator bbk shorty headers borla full 3 inch system k&n cold air msd 6al throttle body bypass, and i will be getting my ecm tuned.
I'm also going to spray a 150-200 shot depending on how it responds to the 150 shot im hoping to get to the mid to low 11's.

u should be running mid 11's on the engine..
my 355 will be done in 2 weeks too. i'm going to have 10.5:1 or so compression...who is building your engine? ALL local shops around here as well as cmotorsports told me anything over 11:1 will ping , so i stayed in the 10's.
i have a 6 speed, le2 heads. 236/245 111 lsa cam and plan on running 11.70's on the engine. u have a slightly more aggressive setup,,mid 11's for sure. spraying 10's.

I have a similar setup with a CC306 and 10.8.1 compression. The heads are ported LT1 castings but are done right. I have been 11.20's@120mph on motor with an auto and 3.42's in the stock rear. With a 150 it ran 10.30@130mph on pumpgas and the stock rear. Since then I put a new 8.8" rear. It now runs 10.17@133.6mph spinning so you should be able to run in the 10's with your setup and n2o. Yeah it has never been dyno tuned either. Later

This guy is running high 10's with 14.5:1 compression on pump gas. It's all in the combo and "prep". I know this isn't a true daily driver and not a common thing but it's possible.

I went 11s@116 with a stock shortblock, smaller stall, much smaller cam, stock 48mm tb, mail order tune, stock ported heads, and drag radials. I think your just spending your money in the wrong places, especially if you want to go fast.

Intake and TB are pretty normal, since it's what LT1s have to work with. 37lb injectors are oddball, but wont be hurting anything. Adjustable FPR doesn't make sense to me, why would you need to change your FP on a non-boosted application? Stock would be better here. BBK shorty headers are the worst headers EVER for the lt1. They don't complement the heads, the cam, or anything else for that matter. Ignition/exhaust is fine.

last and final the cam specs were quoted to me by comp cams so, i trust they know what they are talking about.

my friend has a 10 second vette that runs on 92 octane. I know of a lot of cars that dont run race fuel and hit 11's all day long.
