Should go deep into the 10s on motor and easily into the 9's on spray.

Why the choice of 3.23s and a 27" tires when you are on that much spray?

I say mid 10's NA and mid 9's on the gun with great traction.

I do not see how people get 3000# race weights myself unless no cage, stock diff or all light weight diffs. I was 3270 at the LTx shootout with bottle and pass. seat out. I am gutted ( nicely ), but do have a 6 pt, S60 and PS still.

the car is completely gutted and extra unneccessary metal cut out. All i have it 1 seat and couple gauges. Im hoping that on motor ill be running 11's or less. With a 200shot im hoping low 10's. Im also going to have a 100shot just for emergency

I dont have the cash for a R/E right now since money got cut for a emergency so im running a stock R/E for now. The 27" tires were givin to me for free so i cant complain. Plus i herd by me having a 27"tall and a 3.23 its like having a 3.08. So by having that low of a gear maybe my R/E will last a little longer.Maybe ill be able to use the 200 out the gate ratherthan waiting couple secs for it to turn on. Im taking everything step by step right now but ill keep everyone posted.

the 200 shot? is it a DP kit? What suspension parts? what kind of 60fts has the car cut in years past?

With the right 60ft 9's are no problem but that rear wont put up with it. It may for a few passes, but your running 9.60's @ 138, 140 it is only a matter of time.

You might be surprised how long 10 bolts can last, just don't spray them out of the hole, spray 10 feet out and I had good luck with them. Now spraying them out the gate left me with a few broken ones, but after I started spraying 10 feet out no problems for a full year, racing it all the time. Also did the turbo build and left on that same 10 bolt(bone stock 3.42 rear end from an ls1 car) in the mid 1.5x range with no problems at all on the track, and left even harder on the street.

I think it'll be a turd especially N/A. With those gears you won't be anywhere close to your power band even w/ the 200 shot unless you plan on running 160+ through the traps on spray.

Who **** in your cornflakes today? It wont be a turd. The 3.23's should work fine, not the best, but they will work. I've seen guys with stock rears running low 11's in the 118's. Hell most Vette guys are running stock 3.42's. The 4000rpm stall will put him in his power range, not his gears. Stop being so negative and angry man, geez.
