I went 11.4s with stock wheels,jack,all sway bars on and full interior on MTs. However my sway bars,headers,Panhard rod,driveshaft,converterSS hood and front bumper support were lighter than stock plus I no longer had the baffles in front lid,no egr or air pump on the car. Had I had EWP,ported Fast 102 with a bigger tb,light weight battery,rear bumper support,front oil pan baffle,02 Snowflakes,Hoosier drag radials,aftermarket Kmember,bigger headers,more stall and a vacuum pump I might have went a tad faster at stock ish weight maybe about 1-2 tenths and 1-2 MPH.

quite a few full weight stock internals cars have run high 11's so add a cam and at least bottom 11's, maybe hi tens?? problem is as I think Guitar is trying to point out by the time most people get that far they have also removed some weight...

but then again with adding cages and other safety equipment you may find a few cam only cars that removed minimal weight then added weight in safety equiment bringing them back to approxiately "full weight" those cars are likely where your answer lies.

So lets say a full weight car is about 3600 lbs, add the weight to the "fastest cam only" list and that puts the top cars in the 10.7-10.8 range. I'm sure theres more cars out there than what are on this forum. Some 5500 stall, 4.56's and 240/250 sized cam wouldnt surprise me with the mid/low 10's as i predicted.

thats logical , I wasnt disagreeing with your earlier post BTW more pointing out that it may be hard to find results from someone that has gone that far but stayed full weight, either way I bet someone out there is in the 10's full weight or like your saying could ballast their lightened car to full weight and still be 10's.

I know from following your posts when you ran your car that you know how to over acheive with a combo (stock internals/stock stall/273's running 12.4)
