You are going to need alot of stuff..
Either a full engine build or a supercharger/turbo kit and alot of praying.. haha
A top end kit (Heads, Cam, Intakes, Throttle body, injectors, fuel pump) and those types of things will get you pretty quick if you have the supporting suspension but I think you'll need to build a block or get a power adder to get in the 11's.

I'd let a large "black" man do foul things to me for a set of AFR 205's. If I could go back to the beginning of my engine build up, I would have bought a set of AFR 205's. Didn't really know as much about them back then as I do now. I see now that you can take the 205's and still upgrade in displacement and be OK. Hind sight is 20/20
