Not very fast on a stock T-56. It will probably explode.

If you can get the trans to hold (build it), hook, and get it down the track shiftin like a mother. You could probably go 9's with that setup. How deep into the 9's depends on how good of a setup it is and how much time you spend tuning and tweaking it.

What gears are in the S60? I would say if the car hooks 10.70 - 11.00 on motor and low 9's high 8's on that 200 shot.

By the way what tranny upgrades did you make as I need to rebuild mine (it's popping out of third gear on decel, 170k miles) and I want to beef it up while I'm at it?

That's a similar setup to mine, minus the S60 (I have a 9") and a T56 (I'm A4), so 11.00s are quite doable N/A.

The car should run low 11's na, high nines on the 200. But those numbers should drop as you tweak the car and dial in the suspension.

If the suspension works and it can 60ft. ok I would think high 10's shouldn't be a problem. But why go the more difficult way with a six speed and why not use a SR cam? Just curious buddy.

Edit: My high 10 quess is motor only, but I'm sure you knew that.

Build it then you tell us

If I had to guess I would say high 9s on the juice. Sticks are not easy to make E/T!

T56 is there already and stick with it. As for the cam I didnt want a solid roller lilke Butch has now, the cam is and was a hand-me-down so its free. As for everything else its all there, so All I need to do is lock and load and be ready for next year.

well I DO NOT have a stroker, I do have the AI 200cc GM castings and my car is over 800lbs heavier and it went 11.5-6 a whole bunch of times the last weekend I went down to the Grove. Believe you saw 11.6s on sunday. I would say if it doesn't run solid 10s you only have your rowing to blame.

Like others have said I think it will go bottom 11's to high 10's on motor and high 9's on the 200 shot with some good driving.

i think all that crap is good for 8's. this is assuming the car is setup halfway decent, and if your sinking that kinda coin into a motor it should be. it will take alot of time, clutches, and a few trannys to make the car work, though.

I will stick with the most reasonable responses here of somewhere in the higher 10's NA and higher 9's on the gun.

vtec : you have a great running car and I will not take that from, but it's not common by any means to see something that fast with what you have. The intake, race weight, distributor & ecu swap I'm sure adds a lot to your combo working very well.

by your remark you make it seem as if all the others going after 8's for some time now do not have 1/2 decent setup cars

maybe I'm reading this wrong?
