Talking Need some info??

Im doing my setup over, Im going for 650-700 rwhp. 348 with N2O cam,heads,and a Direct port. Im not worried about the power, Ken From ESP is telling me He will make it make the power!
so my concirn is how fast will it realy be?
It is going to be around 3,450 lbs with the turbo kit out, Full suspentin, m6(and yes i can drive it!) good tires, good parts, spool, everything.
i would love to run with some of the big boys with there M6 cars, being 9.8, 9.9, 10.0, 10.1. Id be happy, what do you guys think?
My only concers are one Keeping the tranny in 1 piece, and running out of gear. It is a 6 speed redone by East Side Performance, and a spool with 3.73's and a 27" tire.
Give me you opinions!

sounds like with that gear and tire you'll have room to finish the 1/4 on the gun.

i think the car will be hard to get out of the hole on motor though with that gear/tire combo, but will be good for spray as long as you shoot it out of the gate.

if you spray the hell out of it, no reason it won't go bottom 10's with a proper sixty foot and good driving.

A board member (Ninefinger) is making about 600rwhp and i've seen his car go 10.02 at 132ish. He has a TH350 though, stock rear, stock short block, heads, a smaller (I think 229) cam, and from what I know his raceweight is 3100lbs. If you plan on 700rwhp I don't think you will have any problems running low 10's or high 9's despite the added weight if you can drive it. With 3.73's, a 27" tire, and a 1:1 trans gear ratio at 6500 rpm will put you at 140mph. At 6800 rpm you should be doing about 145mph. I don't think you will have any trouble running out of gear. I think 140mph-145mph is a mid to low 9 second mph.
