Get you some 3.73's and you will be right there. I was running 12.61's with a Hotcam and Boltons, 3.73's, and that was with a 2->3 Shift problem
I'm looking for 10's all-motor now..

a good stall, gears, and drag radials will help you out big time.

until the 10 bolt breaks.

the flowmaster is taking 5-10hp from you. i know it is with me.

Possible? Yes. A Given? No.

I'd say a stall and very good traction would be your best bet. It will be all in the 60'.

Im knocking on the door of 12s NA with minimal bolt-ons, actually hardly any at all. Stall, and 3.73s and I will be hitting 12.80s N/A in 3200 ft. of elavtion, with 4500+ DAs.

It is definately possible!!

I hope to get some good numbers when I run down in Lubbock with my new cam! I live an hour and a half from the LT1 that could. I know he gets awesome times and runs just from the local board that he is on.

BTW are your runs on street tires or Radials, and what kind of 60ft. did you manage to get?

Currently on a 275/50/15 ET Street Radial. Without a front swaybar, and stock suspension..it went 2.02 this past weekend, however it has gone a best of 1.94 back in the day with Nittos at Dolaca when it was still open.

Yea I was asking you since your local to me. I just want to get an idea of what I might do when I go to Idalou! I don't want to start a thread because everyone gets upset and I look like an idiot. I talked to you a couple weeks ago on amarilloracers.com about nitrous. I'm hoping for 11's on the juice.
