IMO I would say no to the cast crank and hyper. pistons , I went as fast as 10.70s with a stock bottom end 360 crate motor but it didn't last long before we upgraded everything to better parts like a forged crank etc. I am not a big fan of nitrous , I saw the damage just spinning a bearing on a non nitrous stock crate motor did I couldn't imagine the destruction done should the cast crank let go using it.
