High 11s - What engine?

High 11s - What engine?
At this point I'm not concerned about details of intake, exhaust, fuel or tranny.. I'll make those things good enough to support the goal.
So considering a daily driver, 93 octane, 4.10s & ET streets w/4-5k launches....
Is it possible to have a full weight 89GT go high 11s on a NA 306? For example maybe a DSS short block and AFR 165 renegade heads (custom cam suited for smoothness at 1700rpms / daily driving)?
If not.. what ETs will a daily driver 306 NA engine be capable of?
A 331?
A 347?
Thanks

not sure if it's the a-5 gear cuts or the g-force ones but a friend of mine had one or the other, can't remember and due to the helical cut of the gears they whine, I didn't like it.

I had a buddy who ran 11.90s at full weight (other than wheels and tires) on the stock bottom end. So yes, it's possible. But it's all about traction. That's where www.uprproducts.com comes in.

I'd go with a 347 and a bigger head than a 165 however, something like a 185 minimum.
I also can tell that there are a lot of places besides D.S.S. that can do the machine work and build them.
BTW, why can't you put it togather yourself?

I can. Last engine I built was 800hp @ the crank. Livernois did the machining, Fox lake did the porting, and I did the rest including the DP N20 and tuning with SCT pro racer. It took too much of my time and money. I really don't want to go down that road again. This time I'd like to just buy a decent quality short block, the heads, studs, and screw it together.
