Last 1/8 mile passes on this combo..
Go Big cubes and Big Turbo or Go home.
if you're considering getting out of the lsx platform, definitely go with a BBC 565 or 632 with a power adder on top. Don't mess around.

well whatever you decide i'm sure of one thing , you'll have it flying in no time flat !
oh,and congrats to the consistent 5.9x range.i would still like to see what your ride would do with around a 50-100 shot or a 3.4 pulley with a spray bar or meth but as you have stated,more worries but now seems like the time for that last run at the 8 sec barrier.have you added up what the rpms would be if you did use a 3.4 pulley at your shifts now ?

F1A could be the thing that will get you your .3 to achieve the 8's. The nice thing about the F1A is that it requires much less work to make it fit than a F1-R. I have seen a F1-R on a T/A and he had no filter. The blower it self was laying on the radiator.

Meth wont do me any good, I'm running race gas and plenty of timing and my IATs are well under 100 in the 1/8. I'm still running it a little rich though so there is a little power to be gained but there is no 'big' stuff left to do with this combo really. 100 shot would easily get me there but I dont see the need to blow it up to run an internet number
If its going to run 8s its going to do it every time, 150+ times a year with no nitrous 
My only goal for this combo was to run 9s anywhere around here in the summer and I think I have that covered pretty well. I'm a little disappointed with myself this year because I missed a couple decent events I wanted to go to just trying to get in the 5s in the 1/8. Timeslip racing is cool and all but I prefer a little side by side competition. But on the plus side part of the summer was spent getting the car legal to 8.50 and I'm good to 7.50 so next year I dont have to worry about that stuff at least.

Be pretty cool to hit 8s with a small cammed 346 I guess.. 
KP you have really done a nice job with getting the most out of that car-setup! I think it would be cool and fun for you to go with a turbo set up. Still keeping the the drive ability and the neighbors happy!

Plus there were no internet forums to get decent info from like this one, you just bought stuff and if it didnt work you were the first to know.
But laziness sometimes prevails and the all the brackets are there to just bolt on a bigger blower
