if i go through and build-up a V6 like this:
3.4 forged pistons
cam
roller-tip rockers
MSD
porting
RAM AIR
Pulleys
Headers (if possible)
flowmaster
and 3.73 rear gears

what do you guys think i'll be able to run
0-60 and the 1/4 mile????

 

You are not in need of forged pistons. That said, it lowers your cost.
The heads, better springs and retainers make them the 6500RPM buzzers you need.
These engines love high RPMS for the power.
Keep the stock cam.
Go with 1.6 ratio.
The gear is the best choice.
Any ignition hop up is worth it.
I'm sure your 1/4 would be 14's.
I'm hoping mine is atleast 15's

Empty out the entire car.
Like run it with one seat.
I also removed the stuff behind the front bumper. Couple pounds off the front helps.
Use 8" slicks, too.

WOW!!!!

KED if i can reach high 14's with my Frankenstein Camaro i will be very happy

the reason i want the forged pistons though is cuz i mite want some nitrous (like 100 shot maybe)

whats the actual better cam though???
