my goal for my new build for my 99T/A is to run 6.8's in the 1/8th mile before power adders. What i have now is toasted, cammed,stalled, bolt on, A4 ls1 that ran 8.08 with a 1.83 60'.
I will start with any block that will get me those times, i am not picky but my budget is around 5k so keep that in mid. I am not against and iron block but i think less weight would only help on the nose.

I would like to keep my headers, and stall (because i can get it adjusted to whatever i want), but the rest is on the table for everyone to pitch in. The cam i have was a 224/230 .580 .588 on 114 and i never sprayed it even though it was begging for it but i will be going custom grind most likely.

If you need more info let me know

 

I would look at an iron block with ls7 heads. The heads would depend on if you have a fast intake already, if so then tfs or afr.
I don't know about the 1/8 mile as to what kind of hp you are looking for. I can't remember my time but I was running 99 mph in the 1/8 with a 370 gear and a 1.8 sixty in a full weight car.

 

repost much?
