416 stroker kit. You only give up 11 cubic inches and maintain all the cylinder wall thickness. You can make well over 600 hp on a 416 na or go boosted and be a whole lot more reliable or spray it down.

For what it's worth, my "Cam only" LS3 C6 went 11.00@128 with a 1.67 60. A good converter in an auto car pulling 1.4x 60s will easily put it into the 10.6-10.7 range.

With some creative weight reduction, gears, drag pack, E85 and some other things, an auto LS3 C6 should be able to see 10.5x.
