Speculation on my new setup 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!

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.
