i was thinking a 396 and alot of nitrous,but after looking at some old issues of gm high tech i realize it might take more. i would like to hear some of your 1/4 and 1/8 mile times with a 396.

It all depends on your chassis/suspension. 396s can make over 500rwhp. With a lightened car and an all out drag setup you can get very close to 9s on with as little as 520rwhp.
