Default Iron Block Solid rolla 408 .... trap speeds?

I talked very briefly with Jason about this, for mere information purpose of course, and am wondering if 135+ N/A traps would be possible?

a brief general synopsis:\
-408 C.I Iron Block ls1
-GTP or Equivalent Stage 4 port job Ls6 Heads
-Somewhat Big solid Roller cam
-Custom Sheetmetal Intake
-All the bolt ons.
-Dynatech 1 3/4-1 7/8 or Grot 1 7/8 LT headers
-X pipe, dumped
-3400 lb raceweight

that's a brief outline, now would it be able to hit a 135+ trap? would 150 be feasible with a TNT direct port 250-300 shot?

this is just a What if kinda post, but i'm very curious, so someone enlighten me

thanks

without nitrous the 408 should get you up to 130 and with 100 shot 135mph coastin

THAT would be a KILLER DRAG RACING engine/set up no DOUBT! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> I don't know about 135 traps but should be pretty darn close. I would say with proper hookup and suspension you would have yourself a 10 second flat BEAST or high 9s under ideal conditions matched with the right drag racing gear and drag racing converter is your an A4. I seriously considered doing this exact engine instead of my agress. hyd roller 427 MTI ironblock but b/c my beast wil see more street action than strip, i went with the killer street torque set up that the bigger cubes will get me with 4.125 crank.

I say GO FOR IT. Better yet, do a 414CID solid roller with 4.060 overbore and 4.00 crank, if your going to stay NATURALLY ASPIRATED!

MTI 427 C5 Roadster
