Hey everyone. I changed A LOT of things on my car over the past month or two. Now I'm trying to figure out how it will run all things considered. Here's what I have now:
-Stock LS1 block
-Thunder Racing TRak cam (233/235.648"/.598", 112)
-AFR dual springs with Ti retainers/Comp 7.4" pushrods
-LS6 intake
-160* thermostat
-!AIR/EGR/AC
-Short belt (!power steering - only with skinnies)
-FRA/SLP lid
-42# injectors
-Zex 175 shot wet kit
-Pacesetter LT's/ORY
-Custom Sweet Thunder catback
-3800 stall
-Aluminum driveshaft
-3.73's
-300+ lbs assorted weight reduction

I'm thinking that on sticky tires, with my skinnies, I'll run REAL LOW 11's, maybe even have some 10 second potential all motor, and when I get heads it will open up a lot more. With spray I'd imagine I could hit some high 9's. Opinions? Thanks.

10's probably so. 9's.....don't count your chickens. Your going to need some drivetrain to get you there. And probably a few forged internals.

Not trying to rain on your parade man. I am sure that it will definitely roll out though!

 

what rods/pistons are you going to run in this motor?

 

Enough to handle a 175 shot, so I wouldn't worry about it for now.

 

Drivetrain? Like what?

 

10's yes but I highly doubt 9's. Look at GM Muscle for example. He is running 10.1's at 135 with MS3 cam, a 225 shot, and a lot of weight reduction.

 

GM MUSCLE is still running like a 2.73 gear or something like that though king, i'm sure if he had some 3.73 or 4.10s he would have a lot more to show.

 

I hope you have a 12 bolt or ford 9" or something somewhere in that mod list...
Sticky tires + 3800 stall + 3.73's + 10 bolt = BOOM

You could be one of the luckier ones.. but I'd put money on less than 5 hard launches with sticky tires.

 

My stall's only got a 2.2 STR, and I have a billet steel pinion spacer and rear end girdle that preloads the main bearings, so hopefully it will hold up well.

Ah cool, well good luck with that! Get us some times brotha

 

How about semi-sticky tires +10 bolt = boom

 

Steel driveshaft, probably a few upgraded parts on the ole transmission, and a solid rear end.
