Well, I've been reading a lot and I've decided to get back into FBodies. I had a 97 LT1 and got rid of it but that was a long, long time ago! I dont have a cadaver yet but I have been looking at them on eBay and Craigslist quite a bit. I'm in the military and I'll be headed to Guam here in the next month or so but I will purchase the car and leave it at my FIL shop down in FLA. I'll be ordering parts while I'm gone and while I'm on leave I'll have them to keep me busy along with slaying SWFla hogs! LOL! At any rate, I kind of have an idea of what I want to do with the car, times I'd like to run and horsepower numbers! Here's the list:
- 99-02 Z28
- I'd like to be able to run mid to low 11's NA and then throw a 150shot @ it, so maybe to start 425-440whp??
- keep the a/c and be able to drive it where I want
I guess that's it lol! I had a semi parts list in my head and it's something like this:
- TFS 215s
- Tick cam
- FAST 92/92
- headers and exhaust
- 3.xx/4.11 gear
That's kind of all I have right now lol! I just thought I'd throw it out here now to see what you guys have to say and pick the brains of the pros out here. BTW this is an amazing site with tons of information! Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Clint

That is exactly the type of numbers I'm looking for! That 11.1 that you ran, was that full weight?

Very good list of mods, and you should have no trouble hitting the times you're after. You may even find yourself with a little more power than you've listed as well. It's good to shoot low though and anything extra be a nice surprise.
