Default 1/8th mile times????

I did a search but didn't come up with anything so I'm wondering what guys are running in the 1/8th with turbo LS setups, specifically turbos 88mm or smaller.

We are putting together a 408 with a 88 on it to run a 8.5 class but I'm not sure if it's going to be enough to keep up with the top of the class.

Best et for last year was 5.49 or .48 by a nitrous car.

FWIW this will be in a 63 Chevy II wagon that weighs 3200 as it sits now with a SBC nitrous motor.

Thanks for the responses, it all looked good on paper but I was just looking for some real world experience. LOL

It was mentioned that they didn't prohibit twins specifically but I'm pretty sure if we showed up with it we'd get kicked out.

FORCED INDUCTION:
TURBOS-76MM MAX-! FIR BLOWERS. INLET SIZE 3.750 MAX AT COLLAR-AIR TO AIR INNERCOOLER ONLY
They amended the rules to allow 88's and any type of intercooler but the IC has to be in front of the firewall.

I'm interested in this also. Everything is 1/8 mile close to where I live and nobody runs ls motors.
