Check mods in sig. This is good for 331 RWHP tuned down for the spray. Then just add 100 RWHP or 431RWHP on a 100 shot, or if you want 481 RWHP on a 150 shot. It's faster than 99% of anything you'll see on the street, and I'm probably less than $5k into it. Hope that helps!

I just want a car to drag, that is somewhat original (at least in Canada it would be), that can actually have performance gain for the money



Cool! I just have one question, how does the Y-Body's seating position compare to the F-Body? Is it difficult to see over the hood of the car? And how high is the seat in the vette?

The seating is awesome. You do feel like your lower than everybody else. Personally I like it because my brother has a Camaro and I like the seating of the vette a lot better. And no, its not difficult to see over the hood! Hope this helps!
