well, this is a bit of a lame answer, but just to give you something to think about. I'd say you can fairly easily build a low 12 second car with a heads/cam package and gear change. Hopefully BATMAN can jump back in here. Nick has built a few different LS1 motors and can give you real experience about some different combinations and how the car reacted on the street and strip. Don't forgert you need to support those mods too. Fuel system, suspension etc.
My engine falls between a race/street motor I'd say. The smallish cam give the car good street manners, but once the RPMs go above 3,000 and boost builds the engine completely changes. I have to "tip toe" around town keeping the RPMs in the safe zone, but the car drives fine on the highway. I do however have poor gas mileage! A bigger cam would make more power buy I don't think I could cruise with the car?
