250 shot and 408 for gto?? count your blessings and bow out even with the gto weight disadvantage,,you will be history, just laws of physics.
Also depends on driver skill, and tires used..If the gto driver has drag radials and is a good driver you have no chance.

The GTO doesn't really have an LS2 anymore, it's a 408 so it's like an LS1/LS2 plus some. 
And yes a good heads, cam and tuning package (like Cartek's) plus the 150 shot and some good driving will certainly increase the C6's chances, being a manual will truly help on the roll on portion of the competition.
