What do u think guys think it will run
I wonder how many people complaining have ever built anything or could spec a cam with anything other than advertised duration...
You have a baby cam and you still on the stock ten bolt. They are the biggest restrictions to a good ET.
What did the car dyno? suspension?
If the car is tune already and lined out, I say run it with a soft launch and see where you are.

The OP is clearly not too knowledgeable and isnt acting like he does so no need to be a *****.

Also, depending on how you like to do it, I'm the kind of guy that will ride my 10 bolt to the day it snaps, then go with a 12 bolt. But I have a car trailer to load it on and take it home with also.
People who think displacement makes power build poor performing cars. Displacement can support more head and cam which is what makes power.
Then even the guys who like AFR will tell you not to bother with anything under their 210stuff.
I am going to call this mid/high 12s with a decent hook, a 13.0 wouldn't surprise me one bit. If it does 110mph I will be floored.
I know I am a jerk for calling a spade a spade but if you think I am an *** go and run it and see who has a clue.
People would have cheaper and more successful builds if they worried about what worked more than sounding cool because they have all the parts they saw in a magazine.

You need to do research instead of just taking advice from one or two people.. even if they're your friend(s). Even if you talk to professionals in the cam industry (for example) - you'll definitely get 5 radically different responses from 5 different people.. all of which MIGHT work; some of which may work better than others. You need to ask yourself what you're wanting out of your car, and plan appropriately. If making fast cars was an easy thing to do, then everyone would have one.
Don't make a cookie-cutter build or you'll just end up with a subpar ride and nothing to show for it.

That's confusing. You come into this thread responding to someone saying to relax about the OP's build while you "rant" in saying that most everyone cannot plan a build. What's the point of your post if it isn't directed at the OP?
My buddy who built the car did run and it ran a 12.60 with it spinning because of no traction it has 2.6 sixty foot time it should be with a rear end and shocks around a 1.8 sixty foot time u do the math and just to let u know when the car is done i will be glad to put a hurtin on that car of urs too
smells like bullshit.
No thing.
If the car is already buttoned up, stick with the idea to get the rear end and suspension laid out. Once the car has the right parts in the drivetrain and you dial it in, make the call if you want more power.
If your happy with all the characteristics of the motor, you can always add a nitrous kit to the mix.
As some have said the motor could have been built to make more power but get the car lined first and then you can game plan on either a new cam or a more radical top end.
I don't see any reason the car can't go 11's with the right converter and chassis.

I have no problem proving your internet expert advice wrong , i probally have way more motor then you will ever have but thats okay haters can hate no big deal by the way the video of your caprice classic 383 the car will easily go into the elevens with a 12 bolt not a issue at all you can bet on it hell you can even come out to union grove and watch me do it
mine is not a 383, are you ASSuming that or just trying to make **** up? I spent money on the topend instead of the bottomend because I UNDERSTAND how to make power.
a rough rule is .1 60ft equals .15(or more) at the other end which would suggest low 11s from your car IF the 2.6 and 12.6 were honest. I believe you believe that, I believe you were told that. Hell I would even believe your buddy was reading the wrong lane.
A mid 11 second car should 60ft a solid second better than what you posted not 1.8.
But take that 1.8 and apply the .1 equals .15 at the other end rule and you have 11.4 with a 1.8 60ft. BUT a 11.4 second car is likely to actually pull 1.5s.................
Your story doesn't add up.
If you want to run it I would hurry too, that Deltech is not particularly reliable and last I heard service parts were unavailable because the owner was ill.
You didn't mean to but you supported me with this statement. I didn't do anything but CHOOSE ACTUALLY GOOD PARTS and bolt them together competently. Meaning I actually have a clue what works. I screwed up a lot before I got it right but I eventually got it right because I LEARN FROM MISTAKES rather than blindly defend them as so many others do.
