Default 11.50 camonly

Im just looking for some suggestions on what I may want to change/add/remove, heres how it will sit:

400rwhp cam only
fab 9" w/ 4.56 gears
t56 w/ textralia
full rear suspension
coil over afco's up front
28" hoosiers on a 15x10 wheel, skinnies up front
id like to get it to about 3350 lbs
and some seriously sexy shifting

is this realistic or am i totally off my rocker?

I'm not sure on my wieght. I would guess 3500 with my fat *** in the car. Not sure on HP, but I estimate about 420=430. Other than that my setup is similar to yours and I ran a new best last weekend of 11.19 @ 122 in the HEAT. I'm sure it will go 10.9x's with better weather and more time behind the wheel. My shifting skills arent what they once were after about a 2 year break from racing.

So to answer your question, I think it is very do able. Key will be getting that stick car to out of the hole cleanly.

What shocks are you running in rear? Rear shocks are very important on a stick car.
