According to Circle Track Magazine, the old Busch V6 cars typically only did 1.1.
Most streets have enough silt and dust on them to keep you under a 1.0g.
The one advantage you'd have over the Busch car is weight.
But, at 1.0g you need to start paying close attention to oil control in the pan.
You'll want higher rate front and rear springs.
Bilstein shocks.
HRPartsnStuff rear bar.
Polyurethane suspension, and body bushings.
Rear seat, front cross member, frame horn, and fender braces.
Different lower rear arms.
Tall front spindles.
AL bumper reinforcements.
Any creature comforts you're willing to sacrifice to shed weight.
Might have to notch the frame rails to allow for rear axle movement.
More oil pan baffling. Maybe an Accusump.
At least 8 inch wide rims, and probably 9+ to keep the sidewalls from rolling under. 45 series tires probably an aid in that reguard.
YMMV
