i don;t think it's all in the hp number....i think if i had a stock stall stock gears and street tires it would not get close to 11....but with a good stall 3.73 and stick tires (none of which add anymore power to the car) but will drap times
3800 stall is way to high for a stock cam and even though i have an ewp i would tell you that it would be a waste on such a lightly modded car. i would take the money from the ewp and get stickey tires a dif cover and lower control arm brackets and poly torque arm mount and see better result with that same amount of $$.
also if you go with the 1.8 rockers it will limit you in the future to what size cam you can use. so you might think about using that money to get a buget nitrous kit and this way you will definatly be way into the 11's.

I'm thinking at least 350 but no more than 365. That will be actual, you might lose some on the dyno b/c of the stall, but, like someone has already stated, you will definitely feel it at the track.
You might hit high 11's with that setup, but if you do some suspension work, get some tires, and maybe a little weight reduction, you will hit 11's for sure, maybe even mid 11's...

365 is a bit high for a bolt-on, non 90/90 combo. 345-350 Will be a good number, with 340 being right about average. Dont get all excited about hitting this 365 number like some people are mentioning because its just NOT likely. Thats not to say that someone hasnt done it, but it is VERY unlikely.

^^ You are right, I don't think he will hit 365, but it is a possibility, that is why I put 365 as the highest he will see...
btw, I guess I should have read the original post better, but the title says 'bolt-ons' so I guess I was thinking an ls6 or fast 90 intake was part of that...
