Near future cam swap but ideas about possibly tickling 10's (346)? I'm putting in the RapTr soon when fixing my head gasket woes. I'm going to have the heads milled for clean-up and have my friend work the heads a little more (still stock Patriot work). Got lots of weight to work with and don't plan on changing it up there since it is a street driver. Most things are set but have thought about a bigger/better lid, larger MAF or something. Not many things left for good gains without it being expensive. The 346 cubes kills with a heavy car like I have.
Maybe the new stuff will get me 425 RWHP but that might only be 11.20's.

Going to pull the motor? If so, you could upgrade to a umi or bmr k member. Just because it's a street driven car doesn't mean you can't take some weight out. Just rips out the back seats, seat belts, all of the easy stuff that is easy to put back in.

Stripped the interior already once but didn't net what I thought it would... 11.47 to 11.41. So I'm just keeping it there for what I do. Need more power! Later down the road I'm sure going to a 383 would get me there but don't plan that anytime soon.

NA is cool but as stated before, you do have a heavy car. If you plan on modding the car more than a cam, most would recommend putting in a fuel pump anyway due to the increased volume of fuel that is required. If you bought a racetronix fuel pump and hot wire kit then you would have enough fuel for heads and cam + a nitrous system for like a 150 shot. If you havent replaced your fuel pump yet, I would do it anyway just because its over 10 years old so its prolly time and youre eventually gonna have to do it anyway due to the mods youre prolly planning on doing. A nitrous kit + a good cam would be a guarantee for a 10 second pass I would think.
