Default 10's or am i just dreamin

2002 z28 m6
functional SS ram air hood
ls6 intake
243 heads
tr224 cam 224/224 563/563 114
slp underdrive pulley
bbk headers w/ ory
dynomouth CB
275 M&H racemasters DR's
moser 12bolt with 3.73's and spool and 33 spline axles
and a 100 shot for now maybe 125 or 150 if i have to to hit 10's

so lets hear it am i dreaming or should i be in the 10's, my brother-in-law with the 3.4 TVS'd gt500 says i need to do some suspension mods. which I'm ****** clueless on. guess I'm gonna have to do some research

Not sure about those heads compared to some big name aftermarket and aren't the bbk shortie headers? Still you got gear and good rear end to do some good 60fts and you have the tires to do it. I would think you should be in the high 11s off spray or low 12s depending on alitutude and density air of the day you run. Local car with ported stock heads by tea and has similar cam and longtubes and underdrive and lid and 12 bolt moser with 4.10s and et street radials does around that 11.8 NA . He has gone pretty sure 11.0 with 100 or 125 shot .Not sure if he has or can run 150 shot on his nitrous kit.

He never broke 10s yet but he was at 1600 feet above sea level at our local track.
So would think with a 150 shot he would have been high 10s. He dynoed pretty sure 420rwhp.He is light like 140 pounds. So you should be close. Other things to look at would be mabye used fast 90/90 combo. Cutout if you don't have one. And down the road mabye some nice heads like afr or trick flo.

huh, maybe i thought he has been talking about a TVS, but i know for sure he said it was a 3.4, he kept bragging about how it was the biggest one there is. and also how they had to lower the whole engine so it would fit under the stock hood. but im sure your right i know next to nothing about fords.

my headers are definitely long tubes, maybe BBK makes both long and shorties. and i have been thinking, i almost never make it to the track, so i don't know if i could drive to a 10 even if my car was capable. i would probably need a car capable of 9's for me to run 10's

If you are running drag radials, you better have your suspension dialed in and hope they have the track prepped well. Drag radials have a reputation for being hit or miss on stick cars. Get a pair of 28" slicks (or ET Streets/Quick Time Pros), dump the clutch at 5500+rpm with the nitrous, hold on and don't miss a gear, and the 100 shot should get you into the 10's.
