Probably a REAL 3600 because I dont want it to stall too high on a 150-175 shot and it is my DD. But I will probably swap the 3.23s out with 3.73s eventually... kinda middle of the row on this stuff. I'm wanting to see high 11s on the motor, I have 6 tenths to knock off to get there to achieve that I am looking at the stall, the gearing, the shift points, and if that doesnt do it, then an LS6 intake.

cam only ms3 is VERY capable of 11s.... you need some 410s, 4k stall and an intake... your ls1 intake is KILLING your times.. a friend of mine was running ms4 4k stall and 410s with a 200 shot, and it was fine..

Look at yanks ss4000. It is pretty tight and can handle spray. I plan on hitting it with a 100-125 shot.

ill tell ya what to do to go mid 11's as long as the tune it good.

shift it at 6800-6900. 3600 is fine. 4.10s with a 26 inch tire is fine and an ls6 intake. run a cutout. lid longtubes and that is all you need.

we went 11.6 at 120 with a bfg radial 4.10's 3500 stall, full weight, lid, longtubes cats with a cutout.

nope just find a way to optimize YOUR setup and make it work together. using the correct boltons, weight, gear, converter, and tire.

Yup, I'm gonna try and find a 4k stall instead of a 3600.... If I ever get my components figured out maybe I can get a real tune on this thing!
