What Do I need to break 11's?!
Pm me if you are ready to set your goals a little higher for the same or less money. I don't think any of the above mentioned vendors are this quick on a stock bottom end.

While I agree with the fact that a properly put together stroker motor should knock on the door of bottom tens all day. The heads to support that are NOT STOCK CASTINGS!!!! at all. And who cares about stock bottom end times?You are just limiting yourself there with a poor rod and bearing design that lacks rev-ability and strength. Also...heads that flow under 250cfm are about as worthless as a one-legged man in an *** kicking contest on a stroker.
I would really like to see someone set you up with a better set up than Lloyd's for less money. With all brand new parts. You are hard pressed to find a better setup than Lloyds for more money.

Most people do heads and cam before they modify the bottom end. Anyone can take a daily driver for a couple thousand dollars and make over 400rwhp N/A. As far as my heads being worthless, What will you say when I run mid tens with those same heads AND a stock bottom end? Didn't notice any ETs in your sig LS1 Tech Stories

BTW, I just noticed times. If I ran those with your set up, I would give up

Quickshot... FWIW, you're the guy who came in here with a "these guys don't know ****, PM me and I'll help you out because I'm better than all of them" attitude. Calm down man, you've got to expect these kind of responses from guys like Jordan when you come in here like that.

I guarntee that I paid less than almost everyone for my ported stock castings and have yet to see the performance matched. Didn't mean to sound like a jerk, just didn't want to get into a pissing contest about unpaid advertisement. That is why I suggested the pm.

The limitation is headwork. Not many people to great head work. Lloyd does, however, a stock casting head, even fully ported, would be hard pressed to breathe enough for a stroker. Just not enough air. Also while your 11.0's are indeed good times with 420rwhp, I would want 10.60-70s out of it bc I see those damn LS1's running 10.40s with 440rwhp all the damn time. It pisses me off when I see LT1 people get these stroker motors with too small of heads and too small of cams and run bottom 12s. It gives us a bad name. Sorry if I misinterpreted, but I thought you were saying don't listen to these guys bc they don't know their sh*t. While my car personally may not put up great ETs, I have helped put together a couple of really great performing LT1's. The next of which is a 410ci, dart headed, wilson manifolded monster on the spray>>>>in a vert. ON THE BUMPER!!!
As far as my times go, look at the 60ft. I was trying to run a 26" tire and I could not get it to hook. Lost almost 3 full tenths at the 60ft and still ran that ET. If you are wondering why it only went 120, that is because I couldn't go any faster. The 26" tire had me bouncing off the rev limiter, 7000, at the 1000' mark. The car also weighed 3550 with me in it, stock driver seat, radio, carpet, full dash, stock brakes, ect...Got some new 28" DRs and some serious weight reduction, and a BUMPIER cam, I'll be providing some jaw dropping ETs very shortly.

I don't know where my flow sheet went, but It was around 250 at .500 on the intake. The exhaust flowed very well. Flow benches are like dynos, each is a little different.
Thanks for the numbers. I know flow benches are a little off but they should be pretty close.

Dont take these questions as insults.
