I didnt go NA for a major reason. I drive my car ALOT as a cruiser, with the nitrous i am able to run 10's but still cruise and get 20mpg making 430hp on motor. I did it for comfort powers there when you need it, but not always there for when you just wanna relax.

Plus my rear end, and my suspension have'nt been touched, all factory 98 parts.

i've hit 11.02 with mine n/a. it's not 10's but damn close. m6, full rear bmr suspension, s60, f13, stock bottom, ported heads, ls1 intake, 315 dr & tons of weight reduction. 3620lbs including driver & half tank. it gets driven almost every day. once the weak rearend is replaced & good rubber thrown on, rev that bitch & let her go....she'll take it & come back asking for more. i have no idea how much power it makes & honestly couldn't care less cause it's a blast to drive.

Yeah but I'm pretty light compared to your car plus I didn't mention that I had a ported 92mm intake.

It's not rare at all really.....mine ran 10.70s NA. You just have to look harder. Lots of people like to use power adders though, of course if it's setup to run best with said power adder then it's not gonna run the best naturally aspirated.

I see in your signature that you also have a 89 Turbo T/A. I had a 87 GN and a T-Type. For a while I really thought hard about buying a TTA. How do you like it?

Sorry for the side bar..

Great cars, the Turbo Buicks were way ahead of their time - my 89 GTA has a TTA motor in it too and runs 10.50's, at least it did back when I was racing it lol. My TTA is stock. Love the cars but finding parts is a pain which is why I switched to racing LSx cars

I went low 11's @ 3700 pounds with a m6. 126 mph was my best trap. Car had a stock bottom end l92 with 5.3 heads/pat g cam. I never got to really practice launching the car, my best 60 foot was like a 1.8!

Its all in the setup and what the intended end result is, but 10s n/a isn't a rare accomplishment for a stock cube 346.
