You'd need an agressive setup and lots of gear- but nothing supernatural. Big heads, big cam, good tune, lots of gear. Not really a desireable thing on the street.
Not many people have a "track only" truck. Most who want a trailer queen would start with an F-body or Y-body. Trucks are meant to TOW the trailer queen to the track

Typically if you go from 4.10 gears to 3.73, or from 3.73 to 3.42 your MPH at the trap will increase but your ET is slower.
If you had a N.A. motor that made most of its 425+ horsepower from about 3500 RPM to 7000 , with a stall 3800 RPM or above (OR BETTER YET A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANS, ASSUMING YOU COULD SHIFT LIKE A PRO) 28" to 30" tall (sticky) tires with 3.73 gears, 4700 lb truck you would have a fair chance of 110 MPH+ trap speeds.

it would be nice to hit 110 on motor. i'm at almost 107 like stated above.
6L could do it for sure. now a 5.3, little more agressive cam than my 220, heads/more cr, fast 90/90, then it might be reachable.

trapping 106 with spray but it was at 13.08 if that helps you any you could definately do it with heads cam and suspension mods. but you would definately want to get a nnew trans and rear before this adventure.lol cause its going to be an adventure.
