The more suspension goodies the better.

ET is really all about putting your power down. My PB was an 11.7 NA on the stock shortblock with some local shop ported "Stage Two" heads and a mild custom hyd roller cam similar to a stock cube spec'd LE2. That was with the stock salad shooters on all four corners, drag radials, and 90+ degree heat with only modest weight reduction. It surely had more in it but the tired old shortblock started to lose oil pressure so I retired it before it spun a bearing. That was at 160K+(!).

Was planning on 15" welds and skinnies up front and going for 11.5's stock shortblock with a bit more weight reduction, but never got around to it. If you plan on staying stock cubes do NOT overcam it with a huge off the shelf grind, since the motor will not last long if you spin to the rpms you will need to to run good times.

I appluad you for setting ET goals instead of HP goals like most do.

AI is advancedinduction.com

Also, do you have a 6 speed or auto? That makes a HUGE difference.
