Whats it take to run 9.99 NA?
I ran 10.82 stock shortblock with mild heads/cam.
At 3200 raceweight & all bolt ons, a TH350/400, 12 bolt w/4.30's what will it take for 9.99? The car will have 1 7/8 long tubes, race waterpump, etc. etc.
I'm shopping for a shortblock/longblock. I don't want to spend anymore than I need to get there. But won't build a cheap shortblock either.
What will it take to get there?
1) LS2 402/408 AFR/TFS 225 90/90 Combo
2) LS2 402/408 L92/L76 Combo
3) LS7 427 Topend?
4) LSX 454 LS7 Topend?

So it is POSSIBLE to do without the LS7/LSx big motors? Just cathedral port heads & 90/90 combo?

Im hoping to do it with my car. maybe faster.
i went 10.4 first passes on my new motor. never saw a dyno. i fired it up friday night, and went racing saturday.
im going solid roller and im hoping to go in the 9's next time out.
then i will spray it.
lsx block, 427, 14-1 compression, afr heads 3300 pounds
wrong gears and a glide. a gear and tuning would probably put it in the 9's as is, but i want more

I think a really solid 60 foot time is key when it comes to running 9's NA... I was hoping to see that last year with my hydraulic cam ETP LS7 427... I ended up with a 10.1 @ 134 with a 1.5 sixty... I think the motor had the power to run 9's but I had a switch to a glide with 3.73's and a nitrous converter... in other words, in order to get the best NA results you need a setup that is optimized to run NA...

I guess the real question is will a real solid 402 with TFS heads and a 90/90 have a chance at making it or will I need a bigger LS7 headed 427 or LSX motor to do it?
