depends on how "safe" u wanna be. I built my block completely and run a zzp turbo kit and should run 11.5 on slicks with no problem. I should be around 450hp and could crank it up higher if i need too. My weak spot is my transmission cause im a 2.2 cobalt. Ur an ss so zzp will be releasing a tranny in may to support some power. So id say zzp tranny, axles, slicks, zzp turbo kit or piece ur own together, and build your block if u want to be safe and not have a ticking time bomb

270 hp is enough for 12s with stickies if you can drive 350 with a tvs and stickies is enough to run in the 11s with stickies and someone who has taken the time to learn how to drive their car

I honestly would try to stay TVS. I'm not saying that cuz it's for huge power, but it would be awesome to see a still S/C Balt do an 11 on the quarter. It will take work. I'm talking bore your engine, head work, port the head and blower, cams, nice tune, etc. My plan is similar to yours, but a horsepower goal and I'm not finishing this summer haha.

Exactly. Best thing I did was tires and mounts. With all that power you need to be able to put it to the ground

11s are definitely doable with the TVS. Hell, add a ported head and some cams on stickies and you should be able to get there without a problem, you just have to make sure you have stage 2 driver mod.

If you do TVS, they said there's nothing to be gained from porting. (IIRC) And yeah I know a guy said it already but just check out ZZP's website they made 400 whp on an M62.
