ran the car just at the 1/8th a while back ago when it just had as cast darts and a 228/232 cam on top of a stock short block. Was on street tires because of the 10 bolt so wasn't cutting good 60 fts but what i do remember is i was doing 92-94 mph.

I'm just barely putting the new combo together since i broke two piston ring lands on the old motor. So i have not ran the new combo that is in my sig yet. I'm hopeing to get it into the 10's once it gets together.

dont be afraid of the 10 bolt. 7 passes on mine so far 1.59-1.62's and 11.50's at 118 it will hold down that low. my car SHOULD touch a high 1.49 or so but the tires and suspension right now arent working together under full launch mode

Haven't found time to drive this one. Too busy enjoying my LS1 'vert. Yet to see another with this color combo.
