I don't understand. You are willing to go forced induction but you don't want to replace your internals. that doesn't make sense to me. lets see if its possible...

420hp stock
50hp cold air, LT's, full exhaust
20hp ignition
40hp cam(docile and streetable as it was stock)
______
550hp

550x.06=33hp/lb of psi
33hp x 7 psi = 231hp
550+231=781hp

after parasitic loss i think you'll be looking closer to 680-690 give or take
now dont quote me on these numbers they are all estimates.
with all this your car would rub sub-11s, but it would not be "docile" by any means, nor would it be streetable as stock(unless you were looking at a stock ZR1)
Well, that's something, But I think your calculations are off a little. The SS makes 422hp at the flywheel, not at the wheels. You're probably looking at 15-18% powerloss through the drivetrain, so on the low end, you're looking at about 350rwhp with the manual tranny. Using your formula, that would be:

350rwhp stock
50hp cold air, LT's, full exhaust
20hp ignition
40hp cam(docile and streetable as it was stock)
______
460hp

460x.06=27.6hp/lb of psi
27.6hp x 7 psi = 193.2hp
460+193.2=653rwhp

Based on that number and a 4120lb weight, that should get me in the high 10's at 125+mph if traction is not an issue.
