I went 118 NA with my old 350ci/hyd roller combo (2500ish DA)

Not sure what it would have gone with the same shortblock/SR combo. Speculation based only on the butt-o-meter, 124ish NA. But I cant be sure, it **** the bed 3 days before the ltxshootout 2010.

I can tell you this, 118mph w/4.30s & 27" tire was no where near 7k rpm.

I'm damn near done with my 392 ci shortblock, gonna use the same heads and have LE spec me a new SR cam. If I run out of gear with a 27" tire, I'll be damn impressed.

I've run Mt ET radials, they work great, but sometimes quite tricky to launch with a 6-speed. Once your rolling though, they stick like glue. I've run two different sizes, 255/50-16 and 295/45-17.

Right now, my car is sitting on ET Street bias plys, 27-10.50-15s. Can't tell you how well they work for sure, once again due to my shortblock shitting the bed, but once again the butt-o-meter says thumbs up.

Suspension is MWC chassis mount torque arm LCA relo brackets, UMI adjustable LCAs, UMI on-car adjustable PHR. Front is stock, but with sway bar removed and Strange SAs w/300lbs springs.
