Default because i dont know

What is a real number that a 383 le2 combo will make with a le4 cam(240/240 600 lift I think on a 108)

Build is around 12:1 (haven't cc head) .030 quench with the le2/le4 combo. Going through a 6speed and a Dana 60.

I ask because I am honestly its going to be slower than my hay hauler still. It was a crew cab Colorado with a 76mm on the i5. Trapped 114 on a terrible run at 14 lbs. It saw 20 regular on the street.

What should a full weight car trap with this setup? I'm not concerned with et. Too many variables.

Depends on rear end gear a little bit. That being said, despite the weight and the inefficiencies of running a Dana 60 you should have 114 covered.

It has a 4:10 gear in it.

What do you guys trap in similar setups?

You have my setup. It's going to depend on how well you can drive. Once you get your shift points down I assume you'll be somewhere around me, maybe a little quicker.

You wouldn't happen to have any idle clips would you?

How much heavier are verts? 200-250 lbs or so?

I would hope you are over 120 at sea level else something is fudged up or mismatched.
