Default Almost at my original goal

Well guys, when I purchased the car 3 years ago, my goal was to run 10's on motor and 9's on a small shot. I got the 10's on motor, really close on the 9's. Check this vid from this past Friday night, this is a 150 shot on a ls6 346 STOCK bottom end with comp cam and AFR 205 heads.

Holy **** man that is awesome!
If I can ever make enough money I would love to have something that runs like that.
What all do you have done to it if you dont mind me asking?
Suspension, rear etc etc?

Its great to see a modded vert at the track, I will hopefully have my car running again. I plan on hitting 11s on motor and if I feel comfortable ill try the no2. I never intended to build up my vert but i got carried away when the stock motor threw a rod. oh and post more vids of that monster

I really do not know if there is a minumum HP to get the wheels up. What really makes a car work is suspension, and a lot of trial and error getting it to work right. We have been messing with the suspension on this car for 3 years and almost have it figured out.

Comp XER287, unported and unmilled AFR 205's with Pacalloy springs and titanium retainers. As I said before, my car is not a real high hp car, my good friend makes way more hp than mine, and his car will not lift the wheels at all, but his suspension is set different than mine, BTW, his car runs a full second quicker than mine on the kit.
