Default Your plans for next season

So post your plans for next season.


Mine will come close to the limit of the stock bottom end and will pull like a raped ape

Full hand race ported heads with all the goodies including larger valves and intake (the guy is in head R&D for a major high profile race team), custom ground WILD WILD cam, some bottle, stalled, 4.10's, stickies, built tranny, full bolt-on's, dyno tune.....

If what I want works the way I am thinking it will it will make some straight up sick numbers and will not spin past 6,000RPM.

Its not going to hit the track much I think because after all this money I don't want to trash the 10 bolt just yet...

Break the nitrous LT1 record and run an 8 sec pass. Car is ready to go. When the tracks re-open in January I will be giving it hell!

I want to put my baby cammed 383 in the 10s N/A, but I think its a pipe dream...So, I'm going to 3" stainless true duals with an X, dumped at the axle, 4.10s, and maybe try those 325 M/T radials, and see what it does...If I can get my 60's down into anywhere in the 1.40s it might get interesting..

Finish my nitrous install, which I'm really dragging *** on. Get some coated PS longtubes, ORY, single chamber flowmaster and run it out the back. Thought about duals, but no one seems to have duals with SLP subframe connectors and spohn torque arm, so going duals might be a big pain in the ***.

Hit 12s with bolt ons and then I am gonna rebuild the long block in my garage with a 355 stock crank and some type of heads and cam, probably loyld elliot, get a new clutch when I swap the motor(thinking mcleod single disk with lt4 pp and resurfaced flywheel), get some new shocks and a bigger sway bars to make it handle better, and then save up for a rear. I should be golden and pretty damn broke after all that.

I know(I have most of the bolt ons already), What I meant was, next year when the tracks open back up, get me some mickey thompsons, head out to jersey get the 12 second slip and prove a bunch a naysayers in my town wrong and show them it is possible for an lt1 to hit 12s with just bolt ons, then I am gonna build the motor.
