That's a good question and what I'm wondering as well.

Well, I am limited in my choices right now considering what I want to do.

Right now my car has a stock LS6 in it, and to date I have gone 10.57 (with N20). I have made some changes since then, but the beautiful and very hot summer of South Florida is here now, so for now I have to settle with equaling my best times consistently in air that is at least +2000 DA north of where it was when I went 10.50. I think once fall hits I may be able to get it in the high 30s. However without losing some weight (3550 w/driver currently) or a cam change, I'm gonna have a real hard time getting down to 9.90s. I want to go the k member route cause I'm looking lose some weight without pulling the safety equipment, or losing the a/c.

That's a hell of a daily driver, haha. Go to the track, run some 10's passes, then pick up the kids from school on the way home

Thanks, I'm really trying to hit 9.90, after that, I'm either gonna go turbo, or H/C/I.

Have you relocated the battery to the rear? It doesn't "drop" any weight but is supposed to help with the weight transfer!
