Do a search for Demonicbird00 on here. IIRC, he made 45x rwhp with the KOD cam. Think it was a 24x/25x cam.

**** i know how to do it , dual fart bombs and a few stickers will bring it right up .

If i were you i wouldnt be so concerned about hp , use the track times and hp to figure things out . I dont trust dynos much except for before and afters , they vary too much .

also,,no matter what gears you put in the rear,,there is NO power gains from gears, Period. Your 4.10s will help you get off the line better, but for that you sacrifice top end MPH.

My car made 402rwhp with a cam + bolt ons, on the stock ls1 intake. I'm sure if I had a TREX cam with a ported FAST setup I could hit close to 450 ( MAYBE ) on a high reading dyno.

You can get that car in the 11's without head work, but you probably will need a cam. Your first step is going to be traction...followed by a stronger rearend and suspension to put the power down.

110mph is good for a LOW 12 second pass if the mph you already achieved isn't artificially inflated from ridiculous tire spin.

With the right cam, you'll pick up enough power that given a real 60' (not the 2.3 I'm guessing you cut now, more like a 1.7-1.8) you'll be able to run 11.7-11.9. I've seen a 12.0 with a 110 mph trap from a car that was optimized for the 1/4 mile...but a 12.2-12.3 @110 is more realistic. Upgrade from there and hook it up.

Yup,,,Gonna cost alot more than the cam swap to put you in the 11s, all the power in the world is no good if you cant put it to the ground.

you don't need 450rwhp to run 11s.a good stall and good suspension mods and DR with 380 rwhp will do it.get a custom cam.

You don't need a BIG CAM to make over 400 RWHP...

With the mods in my sig, I make 419/382 on a mustang dyno. Stock 241 heads never been pulled off the car ans Stock LS6 intake never pulled of the car

Hi,
your build is probably 325/340 rwh. We all want big numbers on the dyno. It cost $$$$$ to run 11.0 without bottle feeding. If your vehicle is nice as you quote on your question??????? Drive and enjoy.... Make people think you are 11.0
and yield not to temptation. My car looks stealth but never goes to the track.
Good luck and have a blessed weekend.......jim
