How would you build a low 10’s street car

Man, i feel sorry for the OP. So much wild info in here. The OP didn't even originally mention money, yet everyone starts throwing out budgets. Money to some might be pennies to others.

Anyways here's my recipe, simple:
Stroker 440 (pick your cubes/stroke/deck combo of choice) lets say 550hp, being conservative.
Girdle, hard-block, aluminum rods, etc
Aluminum head of choice, 10.5 to 1
Largest hydraulic roller with wide lobe centers
Single plane intake with a bolt on EFI of your choice. I like Holley.
Biggest header you can fit, fenderwell, zoomies or whatever lol. 2 1/8 pipes would be nice.
300hp fogger, with a progressive unit, pilled down to 225ish
Tranny of choice, GOOD 10" converter for driving around.
3.55's with a 275. Stick an 8.8 under there just to make people who didnt think you could do it mad.
All the good stock suspension stuff. Its already been mentioned.
Strip the car, 2 buckets and thats it. 3200 lbs with you in it. Assuming 175 lb driver.

The magic calculator says 9.34 @ 145. Lets say hes conservative on the nitrous, and the motor isnt a "killer", hes still running low 10's.

Will be as comfy as your Cordoba? No
Will it get gas mileage like your Neon? No
Will they be able to hear you in the drive thru? No
Will you be able to drive around town a few nights a week on pump gas, throw some race gas in on the weekend, and whoop some tail? Yup...

Flame suit on....
