Am I on the right track??
Am I on the right track?? I am currently building an L76/L92. Its an LFA motor so it started out life at 10.8:1 with 243 heads. The heads will have mild porting in the exhaust chambers, 5 angle valve job and milled .020. The cam is a comp grind 227/242 .614 .615 113 +4 (LSR intake and LXL exhaust). I don't care about dyno numbers, but I am hoping to get in to the 10's NA. For now I am staying the pace setters and adding a cut out to help at the track. On the intake side I will be going with a 104 lid, 92mm MAF and throttle body. Current setup had me at 1.68 60' 11.6x at 118mph DA of ++3000ft. I am pulling the trigger tomorrow on certain parts and would like some educated opinions.
That setup should net you 10's but your old setup could of put you close too. That 60ft is poor for a 4000 converter and a cam that decent. We pull 1.62's on 3000 converters. It should of been well into the 1.5's which would of netted you some 11.30's. What gear do you have?
The pacesetters are not bad but what y do you have? Please don't tell me you have the pacesetter y also. Those are some funky looking y's and have been proven to rob power. Guys replace them with a flowmaster merge or change the y pipe altogether.

The car is lowered with a front sway bar, so when I try to launch hard I spin. I have 3.42's and the y is a pace setter. I am going to add a flow master merge with a cut out right behind it. I have a yank PT series converter which are more designed for softer more consistent launch, but pull harder on the top end.
Front sway bar has to go if you are going to drag race it. It doesn't allow good transfer and if you take it off it is a good 30 lb weight reduction or better.
You sound like an all motor guy because you are building a motor to get to the 10's instead of just using a 100 shot on what you have now to get there. If that's the case then you need to put more gear in it also. Something like a 4.10 gear
