I love that 60ft! I am a full .10 off of that. Did you do that with a stock front tire or skinny's?
I am looking for ways to get mine to 10.50s without gutting the car or adding a cam. This is my daily driver so I'm not interested in taking the bumpers, or any safety items out. We just now are getting the good racing air down here, and it will probably last til about mid march or so, so not much time to play til the hot & humid conditions come back.
Here is what I'm thinking I would need to go from 10.80 to 10.50
front runners
underdrive pulley
increase nitrous to 175
Do you think this would be enough?

60' time is the easiest way to cut that time down. the mods you listed below should get it there though. maybe even a 10.4x

Kinda cerious why dont you all just build a engine that runs 10s instead of spraying? The LS1 platform has tons of options, heads,cam and easy tune ability. 500hp and some light weight rims and seats would do it. I know it cost a little more but when you break your rear end or fry a piston you will have to do it anyway. Just asking not trying to start fight im just wondering why alot of LS1 guys are always pushing so much nitrous.

The answer in most cases is: "because that's what we wanted to do".
My car is a daily driver, doesn't cam, gets 20+ mpg and has all the creature comforts. At the same time I can change the tires and make consistent 10 second passes. Which is exactly what I wanted it to do.

Ok just cerious is all. Actually i thought about using a LS1/6.0. Then I realised how more potential the 351C/351W offered (ME) over the LS1. I might do a swap later on if chevy catches up with ford in after market parts. Oh and my 302 is way cheaper then LS2. Dude realise im not here to try and **** ya off or start a war just was wondering is all. You have a very nice setup.. But the nitrous might get expensive after while! My buddies old 2002 WS6 had a ATI S/C on it and it was a beast. Seem like we replaced bearings once a year with the Nitrous.

I wasn't tryin to flame you, just was trying to point out that there is many different ways to go fast, in the end its our choice which way we decide to pursue doing it. Sorry if it came out offensive.
