Oh yeah, it can be done. You gotta have a really good launch though, so you'll need at least a decent suspension and tires. I also think a custom cam would be a good idea. If you must pick an off the shelf cam, then go with a CC 503, but custom is ideal and really shouldn't cost all that much more.

if you want to dip into the 11's on a cam only setup you will need a pretty good launch, and being as how you have a 10 bolt with 4.10's, that 10 bolt will wave bye bye on drag radials
start saving for a 12 bolt or 9 inch

you might try texas speed products. i know they deal alot with ls1 parts but i think they have just about everything for a lt1 also. i see many people using texas speed cams so check them out and see if you like.
I would recommend Advanced Induction, i love my set-up and it dyno'd pretty much 360RWHP and traps 87 mph consistently in the 1/8th mile, i just can't launch the car with my suspension so i'll never have good e/t's
