Default Mods to get ECSB into the 10's

So I was happy with my new time's but now I want to shoot for 10's. Future plans are to replace my 228 230 cam with a 236 242 cam, swap the truck intake for an LS6 with 90mm throttle body, up shot to a 250 if needed, add inline pump and retune. Do you guys think this is enough and if not what else can I do. On my 11.5 pass I removed the tailgate and front light and left the front 20's, weight is around 4800.

Thanks for the info, I bought an ls6 for a real good price so I'll sell it and start looking for an ls2.

motor is forged, compression is 10.5, largest shot I can do with current kit is 250. I want to keep it a good daily so don't want a huge cam. Maybe I thought it would be easier

Its cheaper and easier on your engine to loss some more weight. Maybe a progressive nitrous control instead of the rear end work that will be required ?

thats a good idea, or maybe a 2stage nitrous kit,

100 off the line,
150, after the 60'

I have been reading for the past hour and it seems the ls6 intake makes more power than the ls2 intake with 90mm throttle body. I'll do the ls6 with stock throttle body and see how it does. I've got the two stage already, 50 shot off the line and 150 shot after the 60ft. Even if I don't hit 10's I know an intake swap will help out.

yeah I also think the LS6 intake flows better than the LS2 intake, there is a chart floating around here showing it..

Whats the point in going with the larger 90mm intake if your going to be spraying the house down anyways? Your Oxygen mixture will be bottled. I doubt it would be worth your time in dealing with the 90mm setup, someone correct me if im wrong.
