Okay, given the powerplants we know the SS will be blessed with, what would it take in the way of the aftermarket to the car to the 575-600rwhp range? Based on the calculations I have done, and my experience with my current car, I figure this is about what it will take to get a 3900lb manual car into the 10's. Here are the stipulations:

-No weight reduction
-No slicks (I'd like to be able to dip into the 10's on drag radials.)
-No nitrous
-Has to be emissions legal (non-California standards)

Although I had a lot of experience with the LS2 in my 2006 GTO, it was never my intent to make that car a real performer, so I never really looked too deep into what it might take with a LS motor.

I'd like to be able to do get to my goal without going into the internals. (Cam change is okay) and would want the car to be just as docile and steetable as it was stock.

Recommendations? Edit. Title should have been "Sub 11's".
