Default Question about setups

Well I have just done H/C (TSP 231/237 with Patriot 5.3 Stage II heads) and am trying to plan for next year.

I got the cam since it would get me 400 or so NA and be a very good N20 cam due to the exhaust duration.

I just dyno'd 400/380 on a conservative tune and my track best so far is 12.6@114 (before a dyno tune where I picked up 15hp).

What all would be required to run something like a 150 shot and where about would that put me power-wise and ET's? I am concerned about fueling even though I recently upgraded the injectors.

Other mods:
9" Rear / Locker / 4.11's
Twin Disc Clutch
Nittos DR's
All intake and exhaust (but no cutout)
Upgraded the 2000 injectors to 28lb'ers

Upgrade to RaceX fuel pump. Change plugs to NGK-6's. Gets some slicks. You already have the rest of the equation.

Last year on basic same set up (when I was an M6), except stock heads/cam the SS ran 11.38 on a 100 shot. You can take it from there. Low 11's or 10's are possible with the right condition.

IMO go TNT wet. Get all the goodies - window switch, etc. Also look into get a 2-step. With an M6 you'll need consistent launches, plus you can control the nitrous right out of hole.

Good Luck.

David

damn... I'm thinking this means I need to get my traction issues resolved first then... I assume if I could pull even a 1.8 I'd be close to 11's now with no weight reduction.

or like you said fuel pump, plugs, a kit and good to go...

I wouldn't have to upgrade the injectors if I went wet would I?
