300 shot is not easy ! .. even with 383ci it needs more efforts in tuning.

What is your plan for the nitrous setup ? plate or direct port ?

Do a head and cam. just my .02

There is plenty of people that have been in the low 6's and even 5's with a factory bottom end. Alot of it is in the tuneup, and the nitrous system itself (direct port will give you the best cylinder to cylinder distribution at higher horsepower levels), cam choice and things like that. That is really up to you, and really dependent on your budget and overall goals.
