In +2000ft air mine runs low 11.20s at 123-124mph n/a. That's with a 1.65 sixty (shitty track). Dyno'd 500/450 sae through a moser 9" & 4.33's. Race weight is a portly 3850 lbs. In good east coast air and a decent 60' it would go easy 10's.....We don't get that kinda air around here without a foot of snow on the ground lol!
I tell ya what if I had it to do all over again I think I'd have spent the money for an aluminum block.....the extra 110lbs on the front of the car really sucks, especially when the car is already a pig.

Thanks alot man, she's a money pit but nobody expects this hobby to be cheap. I really wanted to do a 402 but it just wasn't in the budget at the time...unfortunately!

I run m/t et streets also. If I don't do a 5 second burn out with over 100 mph wheel speed, my 60 ft time looks just like yours. When I really roast them it will dead hook. Went from 1.6 and 1.7's to a 1.55 60 ft. and went 11.22 at 121. Slip the clutch around 4,600 rpm too?

New times coming soon. The new combo made 448 rwhp on a mustang where the old combo made 426 on a dynojet. I don't know how that will translate into track times but we'll find out soon enough. The lq9 is a bit heavier than the ls1 so I'm figuring a gain of .3 and maybe 3 mph. We'll see. If the car can run a 10.9999 at this time of the year, i'll be happy.

I have hit a good time but I know it has more in it so I haven't changed much. Probably just start spraying at the track now to see what it runs. I'm hoping it holds together for the fall/winter so I can try and get deeper in the 10s na. Never satisfied lol

I havent made it to the track with the new motor yet, but hope to soon. If it doesnt hit 10's i may just be sick, or I cant drive. My car goes 3800lbs, full interior, a/c ect.. plus cage. 441 made 510 on a very stingy mustang dyno. So should be round 560 or so on a dynojet. It went 11.19 with the 402.

It's been nothing but problems since starting this project. I don't know when I'll be back up and running again. I thought all systems were go a couple weeks ago but more "issues" surfaced. I do have a new toy to play with in the mean time though

Well I finally made it to the track with the new combo for the first time yesterday. It ran a new best of 10.94 @ 126.9 with a 1.53 60'. Car is still full weight and is probably somewhere around 3860 with me. I am still running the stock SS wheels in front with M/Ts out back. I suppose there is room for improvement if I choose to lighten the car up a bit, but I like it as it is...a street car with everything it came with fully functional.
It has been a long 10 months but I'm happy it has all finally come together.

Thanks man. You're exactly where I was 10 months ago when my other motor expired. I didn't want to remove weight, which would've been the easiest thing to do to drop et, but I'm sure there were other small tricks I hadn't tried that would've gotten me some more power. I hope you reach your goal sooner than later.
