to run any decent times your going to need a whole suspesion, rearend, clutch, trans. The centerforce will not most likely hold the power you will be making (500-600rwhp).

Running the car as you have it setup now I would guess low 12's @125ish.

Could it go 10's? sure, with a high 1.4 60ft. To get them will cost you just as much as it did to build the motor.

Id go:
ST clutch, 9 inch, hi hp steel/chromly DS, Viper internal t-56, Umi/Bmr/Spohn/etc suspension, 15x10/15x4 slicks and skinnies. Thats you ticket to 10's.

thanks for the input guys. probably not gonna mess with the trans as im looking to go to a built t400 so im assuming the trans will be fine for street driving as im only looking at 3-7 total track passes this year. after the motor is done a rear is definitely gonna happen. what would you guys suggest for rear ends with this setup and what would you suggest for heads instead of stock with a blower setup? also who makes good blower cams?

im thinking s60, moser 9 in or fab 9 for the rear. what would be my best option for rears? not looking to spend a ton of money but still have it hold up under 500-600 rwhp. also what sorta budget heads, cam and intake would you guys run on this shortblock?

ttt what do you guys think?

If you are gonna run a turbo 400 trans, put a 12 bolt in the car.

if your not tryin to spent a buttload on a rear look around for a used 12 bolt or 9" and for the heads intake and cam look into Advanced Inductions

why is that? i thought 9in were stronger than 12 bolts?

because a 9 inch and a turbo 400 is gonna rob so much power and your not going to be making enough to need that.


Get you a strange 12 bolt with a turbo 350 with your power range it would be perfect.

I'd guess high 11's or low 12's at ~120mph.

how much are strange 12 bolts? why is the price of everything a damn secret on all these companies sites?
