you can run low 11's with less than 500rwhp.
Juan (SUX2BU) ran 11.04 on a stock cam with all bolt ons and alot of weight reduction.

and even if you want to stay full weight why are you so opposed to spraying?

CARTEK hit 502rwhp 2 years back on a C5 ZO6 with 4:11's LS6 Heads, and their 3X cam, 90mm TB and Intake as well I believe could have been the TPSI oval one tho, cant remember.

I am at 480 and ran 10.56 @ 129 on some shakedown runs this week.

I think your goal is very atainable with H/C good air, good driving, and a little weight reduction

Nitrous is actually a good mod if setup right, it wont hurt the car if its done right and you have other mods to back it up, our motors are really good with nitrous and its a easy way to get the results you want.

and 500 rwhp N/A out of a 346 is less likely to blow?

there are a few sponsors that make 500 at the tires with heads and cam. and most have 800 numbers. if you were serious, you'd start at the top of the sponsor list until you found a price you like. so, yes, its possiblebut like has been said already, its going to cost you. you gotta pay to play, bro.

if you dont like Spray, you could always supercharge it or turbo charge it or twin turbo charge it lol, that will get you alot of power and still be all motor in a way.

NOS sucks!! One particle of dirt get's in and there goes your engine. NOS is twice as hard on a engine, and more likely to blow up the engine.

gunnerpaintball: You have an awful lot to learn.



-You do not need 500 rwhp, or even close, to run low 11's or high 10's. The record for stock internals, naturally aspirated, is high 10's.

-Your goal shouldn't be a particular RWHP number, it should be for ET....or possibly MPH.

-A proper nitrous setup will be safer, more reliable and allow your eninge to live longer than what it would take to make 500 rwhp NA on stock cubes.

-If you dislike nitrous that is fine, but don't try to spread your opinion to others through false information.

-Your best bet is to mod the whole car to run your goal, and not worry about exactly how much power it puts down.

$7,600 and that's only the top end of the engine.


See how quickly this gets extremely expensive?

Just buy yourself a 402 stroker from any of the vendors on here that sell them..shortblock with forged internals will run you about $3800-$4000 per prices I have seen on here..use a good set of heads and the normal bolt ons and you will make your 500 RWHP in a reliable long lasting package..bigger is better and less expensive too..
