what else do i need?? i was just reading the thread about the camaro who broke 12's. i notice we have similar mods and he was talking about cutting 11.99 with a cam. would i be able to clip that with full exhaust? i haven't been to the track since i got my car back, but me and a buddy of mine got a rough estimate off of a street pass. we have the quarter marked off at our spot and used a stop watch and the time we got was a 12.8 and it spun coming out of the gate cuz my tires are bald. as of now my mods are:
355ci
3000 torque converter (custom made)
3.73
aluminum drive shaft
moroso intake
hooker cat back
255 walboro
30lb/hr fuel injectors
custom ground cam*
no emmissions
*i'm not completely sure on the specs of the cam because the guy who did my work said he had never had a cam like mine ground before and he didn't want to tell me what it was in case it sucked, lol. but a friend of mine caught a peek at the card one day when he was up there and the most i know is the lift is in the .500's and it has a 110-degree lsa. however, i'm still not getting the full use of the cam because i don't have headers so my curve just reaches a plateau and the most power he could get out of it on the dyno was 275rwhp for now.
so my question is would it be realistic to do an 11-second motor pass with headers? thanks.

Weight is the big deciding factor, if your near stock weight its very unlikely that 11's are in reach. Also weight transfer and putting the power to the ground are the other big factors and I don't see suspension on your list. A 3000 stall is pretty tame you would need a bigger stall like 3500+ along with suspension and a decent amount of weight reduction to hit 11's IMO.

yea i was thinking about the same stuff. i know i'm limited with the 275hp but i thought i was harnessing it pretty well because of the rest of the set up. a lot of that is lost with the torque converter and gears and there's still power there that i can't reach because of the manifolds. thanks for the input.
