I be there. Will see what my junk will run. I am setting it up for a cam only car, well its has a hotcam but you know. Wonder what a 3300lbs race weight with 4.56 and a sticky tire launching off the limiter will get me. any guess? need to start working on the car only 7 weeks away or so. Maybe i go install some carpet now in the car. Hopefully see some of you guys there tearing it up.

ya ditch the AC and get a good raimair ducts. I went form 12.9 111 to 12.6@113 with that and a pulley with really mild mods. thats a must got going more then the average 117-122 with a good big cam setup, the free ram air (bottom lid) cutout works OK. this is 2 everytime MPH at these speed.
Thanks man, I was hoping someone else had run 10s with 4.30s. I really don't feel like swapping gears again til I spray the car. I figure if the car 60's well it should run 10s no problem. I've dropped about 100-150lbs out of the car and I've done a driver mod and lost 70lbs lol. I've also modified the induction/exhaust setup to flow better and added a drag bar.

456 would be too much for stock internals anyway unless we ran taller tires...

Once he puts 4:56 gears in and a cam... 10s are going to be a walk in the park for him. 11.5 stock internal is bad ***!

What you don't know is that if he gets his junk put back together he's going 10's stock internal this year... But 456's are too much stock internal if your only revving 6300-6400 at most
