Awesome times! Now spray your way deep into the 11's!!!




Nat, that 303 is crank hp NOT wheel hp. Actual stock wheel hp for our cars is from what I've seen on here is anywhere from 235hp-250hp.

I cannot wait to see what your car can do once you put the new tranny in.

What did your car come stock with for HP? My Monte had 303 stock.

Had to edit this one, it was second to third gear was a big difference.
11's would be kick *** but I'm not sure if it's possible... Baby steps lol
I'm sure I can crack 12.2's in full street trim. Depends on the 60ft times but it's safe to say that I'm 12.5's as is with tires. I just need to crack 1.8 60's
I'm sure my new converter and gears will help a lot! I'm also going with AI 243heads and TPiS 90mm intake with the LS2 tb and MAF, this should give me about 30 more whp with now loss of tq. Or .. so, the companys claim.
My goal is to break 115 mph and hit 12 teens in street trim.

you should remove the back seat and get a good launch and you will get into the 11's after all your new mods.
