At the rear wheels with stock 243 heads? A larger cam, and at least a 150 shot of nitrous.

243's? Hell no! You better call TEA, get some TFS milled heads to a 12~ to 1 compression, a nice specs cam, a good set of 1 7/8 headers and a good flowing exhaust to name a few.

Wrong section. LOL Not going to happen with 243's. 450 at the wheels is good with those heads. We ran 7.0's with a 150 shot with 243's and a Fast 92 in the 1/8th. Thats around 550 RWHP.
