Default LSX street car

I have been building a 440LSX nitrous radial car for about a year now and now have decided to go 454lsx turbo so i threw the motor in my 2000 TA along with a 12bolt just to have some street fun.

Setup is
4.185 bore
4.0 stroke
solid roller
Dart heads
vic jr with a 100mm TB and elbo
1 7/8 kooks headers ORY and a stock muffler with a cutout
TH350 FTI Converter set up for a 400+ shot

Had the car on the scales today and WOW 3740 with less than 2gal of fuel and no swaybar

But anyway not sure what to expect from this setup but on a shake down pass and a very poor N/A tune up it ran

1.54 60ft
7.005@99.14
10.96@123.96

Better times coming thursday

I also have a set of allpro 23 bolt heads and 2" kooks headers i am thinking about getting a becks intake now and seeing how far i can take this heavy *** pig lol

Car looks nice , glad I got to go for a ride in it. Sounds just like a cam only car with the cutout closed.

Are you planning to spray it or just run N/A with it?

What are your NA goals for it? Do you think it can run low 10's or maybe high 9's?

High 9's will need some weight reduction, after i add the swaybar, nitrous system, and a few bars for the track this car will be near 4000lbs.
I hope to see low 10's the way it is. I will have a better idea after thursday when we run it again. I think i have found atleas 100hp in the tune from the 10.96 run. The car was so rich it was falling on its face at 6500rpm. I have added 6* of timming and took out 15% fuel, after i made the changes i did a 120mph pull on the street and it pulled hard to 7700

You think its only going to pick up .80 sec on spray, maybe with a 75shot? I think Greg plans on a bigger shot!!

Well i think it will run 90's on a small shot and i hope to see 50's on the 400 shot.

At this point it is running the same number as the 383 in the orange car did at 300lbs more and there is still some left in the tune, The orange car ran 5.87@121 on a 300 shot
