Well thats what i was hoping for (11.7x-11.9x) so i will be beyond happy. What do you guys think if i dont have the 4.10 and just the 3.23 will it hurt me that much? I'm not sure if cash will allow the 4.10's in time for the season...

 

that time was done with a 3.23 gear that i previously stated

 

Awesome! so maybe i could hit a little bit better when i do get the 4.10's in.

 

I run a very similar cam from Joe Overton 226/234 .568" on a 111lsa in my 383 and it loves 4.10s, even more so in a 350, and my times in my sig were with a Vig 3600, have since upped stall to 4000...You have the beginnings of a good combo which will be optimized with 4.10s, a 28" tire like the 275 60 R15s and a bit more stall...I would do 3600...The mph will be there, it will be up to your suspension to get your ET where it needs to be...solid 11s are definitely achievable as long as the whole combo is right...The heads are the only variable as to how well they were done...

Well i was def planning on going with 4.10's with and a 28 tall et street radial, only thing is that i'll be stickin with the 3200vig, i dont have money for the 3600+ right now so the 3200 will have to do. Hoping to still run mid to high 11's though.

 

so i found out i got a free re-stall on my vig convertor so after i run it a few times i may bump my stall up, what would be best? 3600? 4000?

 

and what times do you guys think i'd be running with either the 3600 or 4000?

 

i would put money on you break 3-4 teeth on the 4.10s on the 3-4 launch. if your lucky. if not and they hold up. your gono fry the whole 10 bolt. not tryin to be a dick just seen it happen too many times before.

 

Ideally you want your converter on street/strip applications to stall between 500-900 rpm below the torque peak of the motor...This is one of the few times where a dyno is handy...I would consult the folks at PI (Vig) to see what they spec for you...I deal with Vicki there and shes very knowledgable...Im thinking that the 4000 would be great..Thats what I run and with my extra cubes my torque peak is probably a bit lower than with your set up...Vicki doesnt recommend more than 4000 for the street in LT1 applications anyway...Drivability with both the 3600 and the 4000 are great...I've had both...My current Vig 4000 is fantastic...

Nice combo list. And as mentioned, 11's are attainable. Dyno numbers don't mean anything. At the track is where it counts. Ion or Larry will be able to tell you how high a stall you need after tuning it on the dyno. And yes, 4.10 gear will help you get there quicker.

 

larger cam doesnt always mean more power. and you have a HUGE cam for stock heads, plus an auto and im pretty sure this guy is stick. if the porter is decent I'l bet more in the area of 360rwhp

 

Just for example I used to run the XFI 292 cam which is 242/248 on the same current setup I have now. I now run the AI 226/234 and the car runs faster with it. It still needs tuning and I want to get a different converter too.

 

Thank you much man, i guess i'll wait til i get the car tuned and we'll figure out what size i should go with. Ya i def won't be going any bigger then 4000 but i think i may end up with re-stalling it to 4000 just so i never have to do it again. We'll see what Ion and Larry say though.

Thanks for the good words man. I could care less about dyno numbers cause i know there gonna be junk cause the stalled automatic. Thats why i hope i can hit 11's. I'm hoping i can save the extra money for the 4.10's but we'll see if i can by the time the season opens. I gotta focuse on saving for headers, EWP and tune so i can have the motor running strong first then i'll focus on gettin gears, more suspension, and a few other fun things.

Ya i've been told by multiple people this cam is spec'd out perfect for a stock headed stock bottom end car, the powerban is nice and attainable for a stock bottom end at about 6200 so i dont have to rev to the moon to take full advantage of the cam. I know i will be very happy with my selection and it will be like sex to my ears when i first start it up cause i love the idle of this cam.
