yes, wrong forum. although you cant blame him for overlooking, i did the same, when they changed it around, i was in here looking for cam results on an LS1 and finally figured out why no one in here had LS1's

Moved from LS2 internal section.

I think you'll be around 350 rwhp, but you should definitely run 11s (provided you get traction).

Not if you think about all the power sapping items:
'98 heads
4000 stall with unlocked TH350
4.10 gears
Big heavy tires

350 rwhp might be generous!

10's, but no 9s. Not on a 150 hit. Unless the car weighs 3k with you in it.

As long as you can hook and the power is there, yeah, 9's are in it then.

does anyone think he'll actually get through the traps under power with that set up???

5000 stall, 4.10 gear, 28" tire, and a 200 shot?

If he revs it past 7k. But yeah, a 3.73 or lower would be better for the juice. Even a 4k stall. He is set-up for NA seams.

5000 stall will work great NA, but chances are good that a 150-200 shot will blow right through the converter. Need to decide where you want your best ETs to come from...nitrous or motor.

Like Patrick said, if you plan on spraying it, you'll need a tighter converter than a 5000 because the extra power from the nitrous hit is going to flash the hell out of it.

360-370ish horse to the tires??? Only reason I predict is that a guy on this board goes by the name Camaro SS (car is pewter) he had cam only in an A4 (same cam) similar mods here and there pulled around 370 to the wheels. No idea on the torque. But somewhere in that ball park, I would think?

Running bottom 11's.
