9's with a stock motor
 

Lets say you bought a $2500 forged bottom end, could you run 9's with just nitrous and stock cubes + stock h/c?? All bolt-ons could be used. No more than 150lbs. of weight reduction.

Could it be done...how much nitrous....would it last?

probably with a big enough shot, may get you a few 9 passes. 9's is asking a lot from a stock H/C and stock cube motor.

Stock cube, yes. Stock h/c, I doubt it. Only way, would be to make it weigh 2900lbs, be forged and tuned for a 300 shot. Like brad8266 said, maybe a few passes, but not many before :bomb:

Oh, by the way, after being forged, the engine would no longer be considered "stock".

If you are getting a forged bottom end, why not get a nice cam while the motor is out?

I was just throwin' out a hypothetical, wondering if anyone had done it. I imagine that with a cam it would be more than doable.

Why would the motor let go because of stock heads/cam? Haven't people ran 300 shots with heads that flow even less than stock ls1 heads?

Yeah you can run the shot, but without the H/C 9's will just be harder to get to. With H/C 9's will be way more attainable.

346's runs 9's on the motor, but not with stock heads and cam. You will have to do a lot more than a forged short block.

What is it that keeps stock heads and cam from going 9's??? Is the nitrous not as efficent or something?

stock heads dont flow that great and the stock cam doesnt have high lift or enough duration to support higher HP airflow

well there is a vid in this forum now with a stock bottom end WS6 running 9's, it does have H/C and a direct bport though, car is sick and driven on street.

Yes I believe it is possible...

With the stock longblock on a 200 I went a 10.28 @ 129 in the dead heat of the summer....at a raceweight of 3400lbs.

So with a forged bottom end and another 50 with some negative DA I'd say that it is very possible - especially with some weight reduction...but someone else will have to see as I have changed to a cam only setup. :drive:

That's awesome man.....I wish someone would try that with a 250 shot. Considering many people have gone 11's with bolt ons, add a 200-250 hit and it should be 9's or very close.

yes but people start to lift the heads at 300+

all bolt ons? that include a blower? heh

could definitely do it with the right cam and a decent bottom end. ATVRacers car is 3500 lbs and first time out with new cam it went 9.73s. take the heads off and should still be around a 9.9999
