Congrats on the Hawk at first man

Except the shocks ya seriously got a damn good prepped car for the track so i'd say low 12's on street tires & high 11's on DRs

Keep us updated with ETs !!

peace

Dam you went from 360 Crank to 377 rwhp. Hopefully fast enough for them to tell you slow down your going to fast


Hawks dont have LS6 Intake so there is an option or the Fast setup. Other than some LS6 heads thats about it. you have most everything.

I would expect 12.20s with a good launch with the cam choice and the converter I'd say you have a car thats beggin for nitrous

Thanks for the comments! I would definitely think the stock 3.23 gear is beggan to be replaced with a 3.73 or 4.10. I am looking at some Bogarts or Welds as a choice for wheels. I am also trying to decide on what size wheel and backspace. Whats a good tire for these cars running on sorry tracks with alot of scuff?

Thanks,

Perry

Some 15x10s should do the trick,along with a 275-50 or 275-60 mt et dr.If your local track prep sucks i would stick to a 3.73.Have fun !!!!!!

with some sticky tires, good elevation, and a good '60 you could see high 11's
