i think im going to try to put my small motor into the 8's!!!!
with what myself and esp knows, i think we may be able to do it.
what do you think. i have a plan!!!!!
if it doesnt go 8's, i think it will go very close to it!!!!

 

Well I vted for a 408 Iron block.But I think I would see how fast you could get the stock motor first.Thats what Im going to do this year since all my play money is going to getting married..

LOL the words play money and married don't belong anywhere near each other

 

your car halls as it is so just bump up the squizz and see how fast it goes.

 

i think im about out of power befor i start lifting the heads, but i have an idea
i think thats what im going to do.

Dave, good luck with the maried thing

 

You should be able to do it with the small motor.

 

If you really want to run 8's or even 7's, why not go the BBC route?
I know you have a hard-on for LS1's, but if you want to go that fast, its a lot easier/ cheaper to go BBC.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i like the ls1 right now. i like the chalange

 

Alittle more weight reduction
Alittle more cam
Alittle more head
Alittle more N20

U have a chance at going 8's
I'd try it with the 346
Good luck

 

a little more head reinforcement and some more juice, at least get low 9's out of that combo. After that go for a stroker iron or dart block

 

i lost 20 pounds last night, and hoping for 20 more tonight. we will see.
cam and spray, yes, but my new heads should be more then good for it.

 

I would just like to watch a 8 second 346!

what's your compression ratio on your 346

 

I vote for the current set-up, and if that doesn't do/hold together i'd go go the 427 route. Man we need some of you guys in the eights, for sure.

Married life and kids put the damper on racing and play money for a very long time in my case. But still doable if your frugal. Good luck with getting married, it does have benifits.

I'm not married yet but I do have a kid. slowed me down alittle. not much, so far.

 

I went 346. 427 I dont think will get along to well with the added Nitrous, not optimal on the bore/stroke and whatever the claims of oiling issues etc..besides it sounds way easier. So next would be a 408ci Alum Ls1, which I plan on doing sometime later, just using smaller sleeves than the large Darton 4.110"ers.
I would love to run in the 8's, but I see myself stopping (or having a long pause) at the 9's if I can ever get my **** together and pass the 10's...ET Perf. heads ordering time is approaching, then we'll see.

Good luck and keep us posted of course.

my CR is around 10.1-1

im thinking small motor!! im going to build a new one tho, im going to do all new parts, including the block.
we'll see what happens-

 

Go for it man, small CI motors rock the boat. See if you can make the fastest 346 spray car in the lands
