i probally wouldnt get your hopes up on going low nines with that combo. dont get me wrong it will run great(i have the exact same setup) but it takes alot more then that to go low nines. should get you in the tens pretty good though.

sweet car.......looks killer

Your prob right about the low nines but there are people going that et with similar setups quick79 on turbo forums has gone a best of i think 5.85 @ 120 in the eight with a 355 and an s400 blowthrough setup. I guess ill find out in the long run though I really dont care what it runs i just wanna drive it its been 6 years in the making haha seems like forever. what cam and heads are you running all uc2? u had it to the dyno?

Thats a sweet car, I've always wanted to build an old muscle car but with the new age cars we can drive them everywhere and have reliablity. Looks like you'll accomplish this too

Looks really good. What does the car weigh?

If you hate resizing, use imageshack. It's really easy. It hosts and resizes. Then use the insert picture button in the advanced response to post them in threads. It should be the universal way to post pics.

Beaflag the car is about 2800 when i weighed it last with no fuel cell pump glass or engine internals so im guessing itll come in at around 3400 i hope, Blwn1 if you get a chance pm me with a pic if you got it im interested in that manifold. Thanks for all the comments guys i appreciate it like i said its taken 6years and everything from chassis to paint was done by me in that little carport lol Also i did try pointing the manifolds down but i had clearance issues with the forward struts on the cage and the steering gearbox although now its a rack i might be able to squeeze em in there little late now though.

No, you should go 01 or higher. This is the LS6 manifold, the older one's are the LS1's. Try the for sale section, I think there's one for sale right now. Depends on what you'll give me I might sell mine and upgrade to a fast
