stock lq9, stock 317 heads, stock 78mm intake, Tick performance cam, btr springs, 2.5 exhaust, headman mid length headers, and 3800 injectors. Debating on whether to just throw a 150-200 shot, or keep it N/A Put on a good set of heads, and tbss intake. then spray

 

Cool. Auto or manual?

 

T56 3.23 gears.

 

You ran it at the track yet?

 

That was the time slip with current mods. on 275 40 17 sumitomo (street tire)

 

Not bad at all imo

 

Especially considering it came from the factory with a 180 crank h.p. 307.

 

What's this setup in ?

 

87 Cutlass

 

Heck yea! I like that

 

thanks. what setup are you running? I'm trying to get into the 11's

 

Sorry I missed that. Yeah that's not bad at all for what you have

 

Ls1
ported 799s
vengeance ported fast 92
FMS low lift F14 cam
built 4l60e
FTI 4k hardhit stall
had 456 gears on the runs in my sig
now have 342 Stock 10 bolt

 

We're you spinning when you ran the 1/4 ?

 

yeah i came out pretty cheap too. Purchased the motor for $250 complete. The t56 with bellhousing for 500. sold the 200r4 i had built, and broke even. just had to replace the 3-4 keys.. got the cam for 100 bucks. I didn't skimp on the valve springs though. lol did a trunion upgrade too. had to do the blazer disc brake upgrade. the stock brakes couldn't handle spirited drives..

 

No but my clutch didn't like it.was acting like a stall when i dumped it.. that will be the next upgrade.

 

Lol heck you may get close to 11s with new clutch and sticky tires

 

yeah and it was pretty hot and humid that day..

 

Don't fear the gear. Getting a stick car down the track isn't easy. Go at least 430 gears and with a stiff wall slick you'll easily be in the 11's.

Unfortunately it isn't cheap to build a durable setup.
