Default New neighbors!! what should his car run??

Well... i just got some new neighbors, and the owner of the house happens to have a bad *** firehawk. He is a computer engineer and knows his **** about LS1's and he has an extra ls1 motor which he took apart and put back together! He even tuned my car for free! He bought a motor from speed inc which was a 382 LS6 block that is fully built. Patriot Heads with a blower cam (226/234 .598 .599 117lsa). He has a Vortech supercharger kit (forgot what trim) with a aftercooler system. He has methanol injection and a laptop dedicated to Hp Tuners for his car. He plans on runnning a high nitrous shot. probably 200+ shot. He has a fully built tranny (and a 3500 stall) and a strange rear end (12 bolt i think) and huge *** tires in the rear and skinnies in the front. The car sounds like a full out drag car with his open long tube headers...... What do you think his car will run at the track with a full hook on the tires? I went cruising with him to the local street races and people were hating on him, telling me that his car is barely a 11 sec car... what do you guys think??

10's if he hooks... an ls1 is an 11 second car with a 150 shot of nitrous and a 3500 stall. With the supercharger and the nitrous and the stall i could almost see a high 9 with a good launch...

he's gonna break that 12 bolt...

Does he use LS1tech.com? If not, he's still a n3wb lol.

Powell has been 8's on his 12-bolt.

it's not an LS1 dood. it's an LS6 swap. that's a free 55hp right there, not to mention overall more potential.

i say 10's N/A, 9's on spray but that's just a guess.

LS6 block, not to mention he's got boost so no N/A run.

Id' say low 10's with just the one power adder. Breaking into the 9's with the spray.

oop, my bad, thought i read LS6. LS6 BLOCK makes absolutely no difference over an LS1 black. i've actually heard the LS6 blocks were weaker

yea, i meant without nitrous. i'm never in the forced induction section so i'm used to saying N/A without nitrous. force of habit.
