its probably good for low 11's high 10's if it hooks but the 4l60e might hold it back a little. not sure what altitude you are running either so thats always a factor.

suspension is tubular k member, strange coilovers 300lb springs, tubular sfc, umi lcas, umi phb, i still need to get the umi tunnel mount torque arm and sum comp engineering rear shocks.

im goin to run the 315s because i dont think a 275 will hook on a 17

ya thats a good idea, i think it should react really well to a 200+ shot of nitrous once i get the suspension dialed in

all said and done, i think the 200 could put you bottom 10's high high 9's. really depends if it was optimized for the nitrous or not though.

well im hoping i set everything up pretty good for spray but im not really sure. the only thing im really worried about is the cam. it is 236/244 .568 on a 110 lsa. would this be to much overlap for nitrous?

They can. Tune your suspension for track conditions.

Assuming everything was installed properly and you have a good tune I can't see why the car wouldn't run late 10's. Might take some time learning the car and making some small adjustments but it is certainly capable of it. BTW, I would get yourself a set of 15" drag wheels out back so you can use that sidewall to your advantage. Definetly some ET left on the table by running 17" DR's.

For reference I ran 11.71 with my stock bottom end, LE2's, 224/230 cam at a 3500# raceweight. That was with lowering springs and the stock shocks along with a throttle issue that was only allowing my throttle linkage to open up about 85%. With my new drag shocks/springs and resolved throttle issue I am hoping for 11.40-50's. You are lighter and have quite a bit more power so you can definetly get that car into the 10's, good luck!

Looks like a good combo for both n/a and spray. I wouldn't worry about anything until you start spraying over 200 shot.

thanks guys i appreciate the good advice, i think i will invest in some drag wheels and a set of 26" slicks. i stil have some suspension pieces to buy so my hopes are high for this combo. i was really hoping for some 10.90s naturally aspirated! ik it is goin to take alot of work but hopefully with a little more weight reduction and some serious tuning ill get it there

also bolo what do you think my engine could handle as far as spray goes?

-the engine is a 2 bolt main with billit caps and arp main bolts
-forged rotating assembly from scat with arp 2000 rod bolts
-cp racing forged flat tops
-chromoly rings gapped at .025 (i think)
- i want to say corey at clayton racing said the rotating assembly was good for 750-1000

any input would be great as im new to nitrous

you'd have to see what the piston manufacturer recommends the ring gap for your desired nitrous shot.
