Looking at the LT1 list there's a handful of guys running 9's on motor? Why not you? Having a hard time adjusting the valves?

If I had better heads I could be there.If I had the AFR 215rr heads and BS3(the stock computer wont rev past 7080 rpm(this cam makes power upto 8000 rpm)
other benefits of the BS3 would be tuning out the maf.I think if I had these things I could run 9`s easy as Steve Quin did with the exact same cam.
The numbers in sig were also the very first time I went to the track with this combo and there is plenty I can fix with the 60ft and the d/a when I ran those numbers was +1800 which isnt so great also.
I also can take a ton of weight out of the car as it is very close to full weight right now (almost 3500 lbs with me)

I will get into the 9`s N/A but it will take a bit of messing around with things and most important time and exp with the new combo

Yeah, I get the picture, I ran a 9.6 with a shity 1.8 sixty foot , DA was probably around 2500 that day, I could get rid of some weight too, maybe dump the AC, condenser, power steering, passenger seat and door panels, run some C16 instead of 94 and throw my HPT in the garbage and run BS3, lock the converter, run a full slick instead of a DOT tire, maybe even a 28" tall tire, I think this should be put me in the 8's?

I mean I ran 9.7 first day out-second day out 9.6, I don't think ANYONE In Canada has gone faster with a small cube motor stock crank on pump gas.

Anyway-all the best in your quest to 9's bro!

Can't we all just get along?

BTW... as far as weight... what do u guys think a 100lbs diet would do at those kinds of speeds.

I ran the times below at 3750lbs. Would 1-200lbs in savings help that much?

I guess it's always the debate... less weight makes the car faster in the corners and straight line.... but a little less "comfy" to drive.

Apparently you'll pick up a tenth of a second for every 100 lbs you shed.

I think its less once you hit 9`s and 10`s

I would think with 200 lbs you should drop .15 or so

with that mph you should be very close to 9`s with a 200 lb loss.I think 136-137 is doable with a negitive D/A(are you not spraying out of the hole or something)
please dont take this the wrong way but your 60 ft sucks for that power(should be 1.39-1.45)
I look forward to a headsup against you soon Claudio.One thing I know is I will have to get a good jump on you cause you will run me down

I think I got some things figured out with my setup and a few other thing I want to try as well.It should be a fun year to figure everything out.
