weight certainly can help but look at what some of the b-body guys are doing. Most guys have things they could do better before they worry about cutting a lot out of the car. I mean sure throw the spare in the garage and stuff like that but save the elimination of comforts or safety till further down the line for a street car.
Look at hvyss his car is a little heavier than mine hydraulic cam stock castings 383 runs very low 11s NA 9s on a 175 shot. Even without cutting weight your car is going to be 500+lbs lighter, now his auto is a whole lot easier to drive than an M6 so I am not saying your weight advantage will make it easy for you to surpass that.

I agree, but I also like my leather seats and my t tops lol. Other than that I wish I had crank windows and such. I love the idea of having a car that looks relatively stock minus the cage and is capable of tens. Speaking of cages I've been looking at the wolfe cages, not sure if I want to weld it to the floor or bolt it with two quarter inch pieces of steel and four grade 8 bolts. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you look around at what cars are doing NA or on the bottle I would have to agree that a aftermarket head stroker on a 150 shot should run 9s, if the driver still needs to gain experience and can't launch/row well enough I would still be looking for a MPH to show some power.
what are some decent setups for the juice for a 150new shot or so. I've heard horror stories about the lt1 intake and nitrous, but I just had mine ported and kinda do not want to have to get you a different one. Is it worth direct port for a 150 shot?

i also have studs to go with it. if interested lmk. 130 plus shipping takes the mains and studs.
oh and i believe in overkill! so it is definitely piece of mind!
a fogger is the ONLY way to distribute equally. and a plate is brain dead easy, but i would still rather spray 150 through a fogger than a plate, but that is only my .02
thanks

i have callies billet mains for sale. since they have already been align bored, you would probably only need a hone because they are already sized.

thanks taner, I believe the shop already ordered the caps and studs unfortunately. With the fogger set up what am I looking at for the system and the plumbing?
