Do you believe if you can get your 60ft lower the car will run a 10?

I'm positve it will run a 10 with a lower 60 ft. I believe that for every .1 you take off the 60 ft you take of .2 up top on your ET. So if I run a 1.5 60 ft. I should be around 10.6 ET which would be nice. Im gonna take out my 3.50 rear gears and put in a set of 3.90 which will help.

Great write up dude. This is my second WS6 build. The first was a Procharged LS1 that made 642 rwhp. This one I am wanting to keep it NA. I have been thinking of going the 427 route, but after reading your build I am leaning towards a LS3 build something like yours. Awesome ride!

Thanks, you can't go wrong with the LS3. If I was planning on staying N/A with this I would bump up the compression to 12.5-13 and run E85. When I can afford it maybe FI and E85

Just read through your thread. Car looks immaculate and the LS3 with drivetrain to match is just awesome. The license plate is clever too. Look forward to that 10 second slip. Gear swap alone can probably get you there. I bet it's a blast on the street with that torque curve.
