Hell, I hope its faster than 10.7's which I read on the posted thread...I have a mild 382 stroker MTI built with X1 cam, stg 2 LS1 heads, and small headers in a HEAVY car...3550 for the car and 417 lbs for lil' ol me! So I am at 4,000 lbs with full tank, and I was running 11.6 on radials....Auto, 2800 stall, 3.23 10 bolt, stock style suspension. 1.68 short time on radials.
Now I have torque arm, bigger fuel system, M&H tires on 16 X 8.5 Welds, no front sway bar, built tranny, Vig 3400 multi-disc, and half way through installing NX MAF wet nitrous kit. I figure with the 150 shot I will be low 10's, and with 200-250 shot possibly high 9's. SHould be running low 11's on motor and good tires with better converter now as compared to last year.
I certainly hope with a 440 cube with either AFR 225's or C5R heads, the car would be good for low to mid 10's easily and a 200 hp shot should knock about a second off that. If this thing doesn't run 8's, even with not so great suspension, I would be pissed.
I bet for the money he spent on this thing, he could have just gone to LPE and got a pretty nasty TT Vette that would dip into the 8's on good tires!!!! ANd sounded/looked stock! But, to each his own.

it wasnt sarcasim. i would honestly like to see a heavy beast run with the tin can race cars. i know that Ronnie DUkes car ran 8s at 3700 lbs. it just takes major chasis work, and i am sure this guy has it if he put that much money in the suspension tuning.

There's a very simple solution that would put all this to rest......Get that bitch to the track and see what it runs. I don't care if it has 2000hp and weighs 2000lbs. Until it(or any car) runs the time it's just another nice car. There are alot of cars out there with gobs of power that run shitty times.
got me rollin on that one tim!
