I have gone 8.30's with my carb'd 421 SBc nitrious engine. I have been carb'd for 6 years in my fourth gen. I am not going back to EFI unless I can find a definate advantage. With nitrious EFI is a waste of money. JMHO.

Usually most low 9 and 8 second cars are like mine. Started raced and shut off. I do not like wearing out engine parts for no reason.

Its only a problem if you want to win that drag race at the track. You run over 1 second and 20 mph slower then me. Street driving is very cool but if you want to win you have to make sacrafices. TMO.

3200lbs with driver. I also watched your videos and the best I saw you run was 9.60's. I have gone a pb of 8.36 @ 166 mph. 8.50's all day everyday! Not a slam you have a very nice car. I just don't think you would beat me in a heads up race. We all make choices and sacrafices to get what we want from our cars. You choose to street drive and have comfort and that is very cool! I choose for the damn thing to go fast and lose all those things. Believe me there are sometimes I wish I owned your car.

No the engine I have been running is a 421 SBC with nitrious. Right now I am working with Dave at Canadian Performance and for 2007 season I will be running a carb based Ls1 427 with Dart heads, Warhawk block, Solid roller and a really big fogger. I hope to run faster then my personal best with this new engine. Back in 2003 I went 9.0@ 160mph (traction limited) with my 383 Lt1. Then I gave up on that engine. Now its back to F-body racing. See you guys in 2007. BTW the car is stock suspension with no wheelie bars on a 28 or 30 ET Street.

The LT1 was sprayed on a new but old technology Nos big shot fogger on a 36 pill. Not sure how much that is since the tune ups I use are not the NOS tune ups. I use an over square low presure setup on the B nozzle. I think the spray made about 290hp at the rearwheels according to a dynojet dyno.
