****sorry for all the caps cut and paste job********
will all the suspension work and everything else i listed put me into the tens? i am trying to make a 10 sec camaro with no internal engine work cause i have never heard of anyone doing it. suggestions on parts to or not to get would be apprieciated. as well as if you know where to get these parts cheaper. thank you for you input and help.

 

1) 10 sec with no internals was done a long time ago, by the guy who did my custom paint, he ran 10.80 here in chicago i'd say about 4 years ago now.

2) What size exactly is that stall, will it handle the spray? you hit it too hard and it could balloon past your rev limiter.

3) You will want a 15X10 Prostar for the back, not 15X8 if you are going to run 28X10.5 et drags..the tire will not fit properly on a 15X8, it will look like a marshmellow suck on a wagon wheel, it'll fit but won't work properly, have much less contact patch on the ground.

4) the car will need to be tuned when you add those injectors, you can't just stick em in and go racing, youre fuel system will make the car run really pig rich. if you are going to run a wet kit only they are not necessary, certainly not ones that big. I ran 200 shot wet all day long a few years ago on stock 98 injectors, i know yours are smaller, but 48 lb'ers are not necessary.

those are just some quick observations from your info..

 

doesn't nitrous love headers?

 

Check Sig! I get there all the time!

 

my question was to every one was with the parts i have and what im about to purchase is mid 10's a dream or very possible. i dont want to buy heads or a cam. knowlageable answers and opions only please

 

Why waste your money on a sneeky pete kit, it's worth like 35 horsepower, tops. I say sell your NOS dry kit, get a NX dual stage kit, and giver all she's worth!

 

If your running a 125 shot and only getting .6 something is not right. Ditch the Dry kit, get an NX MAF kit, Walbro 340M intank pump, that should get you there with a 150 shot, or a 175. If not, get the TA, Wheels and Tires, and so on.

 

FLP stage four trans tci converter g5x2 cam and a tune you should be good to go. for a lot less money than your list.

 

Why don't you just get a new cam. You can get a nice package for cheap. Something around 230 or so duration. That would drop you ET considerably for a good price.

 

The fastest stock internals in the nitrous list is 10.81 by hacker joe. I have many new mod's and expect to be in the 10's with stock internals this spring if it ever stops raining so the tracks in Ohio can open

 

10's on spray with stock internals is not too hard.
1 guy in my car club ran 10.8x@124 with Long tube headers,ORY,Flowmaster cat back(if you can believe that) and a Nitrous convertor(PYE3400).99 SS A4.
Pulled 1.4 60fts and did it all on a 175 wet kit (NX).
He did not upgrade the fuel pump and ended up burning up a valve,but only after running that way for over 1.5 years .
All on E/T streets with skinnies up frt.
Your list of parts is long and too much money.
Get a good fuel pump,NX wet kit and DO NOT USE a VIG3600 for a big shot of nitrous.
I did a 150 rwhp shot for over a year on that convertor and it stalled around 5200 on the bottle. Get a nitrous convertor and get a good one too.
With traction and the mods you have you could get there.
Good luck
Dave

 

Why are you doing all of this now? I thought you were having a 427 ci C5R stroker motor installed at the end of May? Are you still going to go through with your plans of running 8's or did you change your mind?

Good luck with whatever you do!

 

5177 125rwhp shot. See my time. No headers + stock internals.

 

Why do you NOT want to get new heads/cam? Doing that will drop your ETs a lot. That on top of having stock headers, it's going to be tough. Best of luck though

 

why do you ask...your name already says your running 10's!!!!!

putting the cart before the horse, eh?
