Default ET with Bolt ons and Cam??

I have a couple buddies that are saying that they have had cars with ls6 intake, ported TB, full exhaust and cam shaft and has run 11.0s with this kind of set up. I have a built 347 with heads, cam, fast 90, 1 7/8" headers, converter ETC and having problems getting there on 17s... Just looking for opinions on running 11.0s with stock heads? No nitrous..

Thanks Guys

Having a conflict here, Built 347 with heads cam fast intake but wanting opinions on running 11.0 with stock heads... I maybe assume you mean stock type castings that been worked over...

Anyways you really need to provide more info about the car. Previous track times, race weight, dyno sheet, and stall speed of the converter. What rear gear.....

Also one thing I will say is you need to get away from the 17's and invest in a good tire and dropping race weight are 2 guarrenteed things that will work if you do nothing else but we need to know how far are you away from the goal.

Im talking about there car was a stock bottom end stock headed 99 camaro with cam and bolt ons and 4200 stall with 3.42 gear(Not stock style, stock heads with zero work done to them) and of course he was running 15s with skinnys and they claim 11.0s. My car is 2000 SS with 347, dart 225s, cam, fast 90, 4000 stall and 3.73s on 17s and thats about what im getting out of mine. I guess the question is, if he ran 11.0s with cam and bolt ons (Stock Heads and bottom end) is my car slow for built 347 with heads and cam... Both cars full weight with the exception of him running 15s and me 17s

I don't see 11.0s in your buddies car.

I could be wrong.... but I don't see it.

11.0 cam only is NOT the norm. 11.4-11.8 would be closer to normal. Now that's assuming full weight. Do some decent weight reduction and all bets are off.

I ran 11.5-11.7 with my cam only setup and that is with full boltons, fast 90 and very agressive stall/gears. Add decent heads and now you are looking at 11.0 or even high tens on full weight cars.

Maybe your buddies have a killer 60ft, otherwise line them up with yours and run against each other and see if it true, if you havent already.

All depends on weight and set up. I was going 7.3s in the summer and my raceweight is around 3500. Few suspension changes and better air will get me fairly close.
