12.2/4 more realistic.
I ran 12.70's with a hot cam/DR's and shorties @ 110.6

the "math and a timeslip are 2 different things".
For sake of discussion (not arguement) what 60 do
you think you could cut using a optimum suspension and
your current power level.

Eric is gonna get that problem rectified shortly.
For what it's worth, when we race at the track, I get him outta the hole, but he starts pulling back around the 1000 foot or so pretty damn noticiably.

Don't even try to run 1.7's on the LT4 springs. LT4 springs are barely enough for the 1.6's @ the rated .525 lift. You can definitely run 1.7's on a hotcam, should put you in the .547 / .557 lift area ? I would probably use a combination motorsports EX-614 spring, rated to .600 lift.

Like Doubt it said I will be working on the tire issue soon. As far as the suspension goes I could get in the 1.6s easy on slicks. My car just spins 1 thru 3 on street tires. So if you want slips I will get slips here before to long. Doubt it good luck at the track tonight and I will be out next week to run you down.

from another forum:
The cylinder heads and the intake are holding back the power more then the camshaft. 1.7 ratio rockers are not a good idea on the old SBC valvetrian architecture without some other upgrades and geometry changes to make them work like taller valves etc.

Hey Joelius,
Im going for a similar goal as u, aiming for around 350rwhp.
I have a 94 Trans Am GT M6 with the mods listed in my signiture, and I had it tuned at Speed Inc. in Schaumburg, IL after I did my LT4 conversion, and I was only cranking about 320 hp. For what I use the car for (daily driver, all season) its good enough.
