Whats it going to take?
Whats it going to take? Alright fellas I am going to begin my quest for 10s.
What I am attemting to do it with:
04 GTO ~3850lbs
Stock bottom end
Stock heads with comp 918 kit
D1SC Procharger
224/228 114lsa cam
Stock IRS other than DS and possibly stiffer springs
Spec Stg 3 clutch w/ steel flywheel
LTs catless and Corsa Exh
Methanol
Car is now making 603/506 at the wheels, so undoubtedly the power is there. My concern is my race weight and stock IRS on these manual GTOs sucks!
My previous best trap speeds were in the 121-122mph range before the tune and methanol. Back then it was maing around 540/440 at the wheels, but my 60ft times struggle even with these MT ET DRs.
So my question to you guys is what kind of trap speed will I need to crack 10s with my raceweight? I already know I need to get my 60ft times in the 1.75-1.85 range. Would anyone like to throw some tips my way? I really want to get the car into the 10s before I build a 408 or any forged motor, and add the heads.
So any info or launching tips you guys may have would be greatly appreciated! I want to join this club of 10second cars and be one of very few 10second GTOs!
Thanks

if you go to BMR's website they have a build up of a GTO...they say its gonna take about 750hp to the wheels to get a 4000lb gto to run low 10's...your prolly gonna see high 10's with some bad *** shifting cross you r fingers and a good launch
and get a video!
