Want to know if tens are going to be possible with my new setup. This includes the LE2 head and cam package, TCI 3000 converter with shift kit and tranny cooler, LT pacesetters with TSP true duals,BMR LCA and relo brackets, BMR subframe conectors, BMR tourqe arm, Nitto DR's, 52mm throttle body, 1le elbow, K&N FIPK, 36lb injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, and a TNT wet kit with 100 shot and of course tuning

 

With LE3 Heads and 100 shot 11's.. I think 10's is not possible..

 

Incorrect.
You should be running 11s with just the LE2 or LE3 package.

 

your kidding right? im running a cc306 cam and ported heads and im in the 11s on motor
on spray im sure ill be well in the 10s once i get the car back together...putting in new front and rear suspension...

 

Ohh is it possible??!! Because there was a turbocharged 350cid camaro and runs 10's.. hmm 100 shot spray makes such a big difference?? interesting..

 

Definitely possible. There are turbo 350ci LT1s that run 9s and there are turbo 350ci LT1s that run 12s. Turbo does not necessarily make it fast, it is the setup around it that matters.. but I'm sure you know that already .

 

There are N/A stock short block 350 LT1 cars that have gone 10.50's also. Much more aggressive converters/gears however and a few hundred pounds weight reduction.

Guessing 10, 11, or 12 seconds is even hard in this situation because you list Nitto Drag Radials. I know 10 second cars that runs mid 11's at best when they switch to their Nitto Drags. Usually they do it just to see if they've improved on their driving skills. I think. Goodluck!

 

It will depend largely on your 60ft time. with a 1.5 , yeah maybe!

 

Not with Nitto drag radials, and on a *gasp* stock 10-bolt and gears? I don't see gears or a 10-bolt in your mod list.

 

yes it will be on the stock ten bolt with 3.23's for now but maybe i'll go for the mickey thompson dr's

 

hmmm....i'd go 150 shot for insurance. But you need some taller gears (3:73s), a stickier tire (MT D/R or ET street) and after your ten bolt grenades a 9" or so and a cage for NHRA legality purposes. Also lighten the thing up to make it easier on the suspension. A few ideas are !A/C, !AIR, !Jack/Spare, !rear seats, !bumper supports, !sound deadening. This could get your weight down to 3350 or so I think. If you can cut a 1.60-1.50 60' you should be knocking on 10.80's or so, but with a 9" you can go crazy and stuff an e/t street in there and go 10.50s with that setup. just my .02

 

Possible in theory yes, but as you start getting quicker shaving those times off your ET gets harder. Your going to need gears, your also going to need that car light and hooking hard. The power maybe there, but you gotta make sure you can run the ET.

 

Thanks to everyone who responded and I have considered all of your advice and appreciate it. That is all the modding i can afford for this year and since this isn't really a strip car it should be fine for now. I drive it almost everyday in the summer so i will not be doing any weight reduction except for the spare/jack removal i already did. Also i know i'll need a rear end but that is for next summer when the car comes back out. I'm going to go with a 12 bolt strange with 3.73's next summer along with a forged bottom end so i can spray at least a 150 shot and not have to worry.

 

3.73's would be too steep for that setup, you'll need 3.42's if you plan on running a stock height tire.

Only other thing you really need to change is a better tire. Get some m/t dr's and spray on the launch and get a mid/high 1.5x 60ft and it'll go 10's. Get it set up correctly and it should go 11.40's n/a.

 

I got a cam, a stall, other supporting bolt ons and a 150 shot and I've gone 11.2 at 121 on a stock 10 bolt with 3.42 gears in it. On some m/t dr's. Stock heads stock bottom end. Car weighs 3630 with me in it. I'd say get some m/t dr's spray the 100 to it and roll out. Should be 10's easy.

What do you mean by 3.73's are too steep? I was going to get a new 4.11 rear and keep stock tire height... why is this an issue?

 

depends on rpm limit, tranny, etc. you basically want to go through the traps at about redline in 3rd gear....not overdrive. how high does the motor rev?

 

Jordan57 said it good, for a GOOD setup you want to cross the traps in the top of your 1:1 gear(3rd for our cars). If you plan on spraying and a le2 setup then you should be 125+mph, which means 3.73's would be too steep. Say you have a 6700rpm limiter and you lock the converter, you will only be able to get 119-120mph out of your 1:1 gear.
