10.4@130 (1.4) 150 shot

new combo will still be a pump gas motor and should see high 10's NA and 9.50's on a big shot.
I too am in the sub 400rwhp 11's club Not as impressive at 11.3's, but there nonetheless .

The mushy stalled auto doesnt like the dyno too much, but it sure hooks like hell

A 150 shot will take a second off most Impalas/Caprices and most of these are over 4000lbs with driver, many over 4200lbs with driver.

These things HOOK though, much better than most unibody cars anyway.

you and your buddy's setups are hear say until there is some evidence of something real. lt1 cars can be built to the extreme just like anything else. my personal opinion would be that the fbody will take off alot better on the street. i had a mustang and with some sticky 295s in the rear it still spun like crazy

I have no idea...Thats why I don't live by dynos...It was on a Mustang dyno and I'm an A4...DYno numbers are just numbers...Some dynos are more "happy" than others...The track is where the real numbers are...

My gut says you are not much different from your pal, claiming a 700rwhp, build I bet ends up WAY under that.

Few weeks ago I ran into a blown Merauder at the strip, he was drooling over my NA Caprice, he was running more than half a second slower with deeper gears more stall and the intercooled blower.
The LT1 is potent in competent hands, problem is a shortage of competent hands out there.
Lord, I simply ask the that my hands may be competent!

FWIW, INTMD8 over @LS1 speed has a super bad LT1 turbo!
