Internal swap is a must. And 10k would not put you into the 9's.

The absolutely best you can hope for, is 6-7 psi from the centrifugal, would be 100 whp. Putting you around 270 whp, not worth it to me. All that work for low 13's? Yes you could go with a ls1 swap, which would be cool, but achieving 700 hp is no longer a daily driver.
The LS1 maxes around 350-360 whp, with bolt ons. Cammed they put down around 400 whp. And my friend with a 60-1 turbo on his SS, is putting down 451 whp. on 7 psi.

I would rather spend the extra money for a job well done, then a half priced hack job. And the IHI unit from the AMG car is a great unit.

I just ran into mercedes benz SLK32, we raced from about a 30 roll, and he could not leave me, and nor could I leave him. Dead even. Not bad for a neon with 900 bucks in mods.

And you beat a SRT-6 that wasn't broken in with your car with 125 shot. Definitely want to see some track times, when you go.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I just re-read this- who the heck tunes your LS1 cars? We have a few around here with head/cam/exhaust and gears running in the tens- that is a "bit" more than 400 whp lol.
