LT1 in a t-top car

ok guys i have a lt1 that ill be installing shortly and im wondering what all i will need so it doesnt twist and what not. i will be running 100-150 shot through it so ill be pushing roughly 375-425 hp or so. im pretty confident the engine will hold up 2 the nitrous ive seen stock lt1 cars run 11's on nitrous alone.

That's what he was saying - the 10-bolt now in the car will need to be upgraded.

A 12-bolt can be built to handle most anything you can throw at it.
