If yours is the supercharged one in the picture I am sure it can with the correct pulley. NA I would be a lot less positive.

Lot of fast guys will be showing up. Swoosh's Nissan GTR is sweet, very fast car. In the vid below it ran tens, now its in the nines. The more guys that show up and commit to running the less expensive it will be for all of us. There is a nine second '89 Formula with a Buick powered LC2 owned by Steve Kaminski that I'd like to call out that day, hoping he can come because that car is sick...
Here is one of their track rentals from awhile back...

10's in a 3400 lb car is only around 550 hp. Thats a good bit on stock block but should be capable. Heavier ride needs more hp.

450-500 should get you there at 3000.
In really well setup cars in mineshaft air track conditions it may even take less. Not so optimal conditions 400 whp went 11.4 in summer air at 3450 for me. Just 3.42 gear and 3600 stall. Winter air always worth 2-3 tenths on my cars at my track. Almost a 11.2 lets say. East coast sealevel may go 11.1 in december. Thats only 475-500 crank hp. Optimal gear and more stall, more shift tuning, probably gain .1-.2. Be in 10's for sure
450-500 should be easily achievable in a turbo 305. Someday i will play with my Lb9 but i have a hard time justifying pulling a 1200 hp motor for a time bomb boat anchor at half the power lol
