You always whined and cried to Stopsign about launching at too high of an RPM 
Ahhh those were the days when he had you tripping on your every word. Talk about running circles around your head 
SVTp is a little too...out there...for me. Don't confuse the good races on here, and conversations, with any sort of grandeur view of the LS motors that a lot of guys on here seem to possess.
If I wanted more cubes, I could swap a 351 Windsor in and have a ton of options. Or get real fancy and swap in a newer 5.0. I'm not one of these to mix and match across brands. Not my thang. If I owned an LS anything, it would live in a Trans Am. Add "owning a Camaro" to the ball-stapling list.

You're the guy who says 10s are slow. You're "that guy" that gets on peoples' nerves because nothing is fast until it is single digits. We all know the kind...if you want to play your game, go over to yellowbullet and let those guys tell you how your car will look slower than a Yugo compared to the rides over there.

I am saying if I spin my *** off, it will probably be a pitiful 2.2 of so 60 foot. At that point, what am I even beating the **** out of it for? To run a time that reflects 0% of the car's potential? I'm not going to say my expectations for the car, because here in internetland, if I do that and don't hit it, I'll have people like you regurgitating internet times and telling me how my car didn't run well. Then you'll be trying to link me to a good holesaw, I don't want all that mess.I would NEVER recommend sticking with stock LS1 heads when 243/799 heads can be had for such a cheap price nowadays. Not only will ported 243/799 make more peak power, they'll also outshine CNC'd 241's everywhere under the curve. Besides that, if you wanted to go bigger cubes at some point the 243's will work fine in a 4xx-inch application whereas LS1 heads won't. Its the obvious choice really.
Do you just say this because f-bodies can't launch hard without breaking ****? Just wondering.Looks like you remedied the problem with a Ford design, good on you You always whined and cried to Stopsign about launching at too high of an RPM Ahhh those were the days when he had you tripping on your every word.

Stoppy and I had issues on that because he wanted to compare his slick tired car launch to a regular street tire car launch. Not really comparable unless you're a furd guy. I tripped not once.......but I did show him his calculated and corrected car would not run a 11 like he thought. All at the same time helping notch runs 11's.......even w/o headers......or a slick.

Sure they will......but so will any head at some point. They work fine and are cheap or already on the car. May as well utilize them if money is short. It's been proven over and over they can go deep in the 11's bolt-on and 10's cam only. I would say they are a long way from junk.
If someone was building from scratch even on a budget 243's are a pretty cheap upgrade though.

Oh it's just a little cruiser. I don't expect to set the world on fire. You see, some of us like the styling of certain vehicles and have other priorities in line before making it run 8's or whatever number you're shooting for. The pushrod 302 is what came out in the 86, so that's what is in it now. I wanted a boost in power so I did heads and a cam. Technology has moved things forward and I understand it won't be "fast". Also, I expect it to go faster than 12.80, but maybe your reading comprehension didn't catch that from posts above.

HiO you are the one who brought up 12.8, my point was that you wouldn't give credit even if I ran 11.8. I don't care what you did with a motor with 44 more cubes and more compression, better stock heads, etc.
knowing your modding skills, it had a deep love affair with the ol' holesaw.

Exactly.

So now since his car has tag / and I'm sure insurance it's a street car now
But you discredit anyone who doesn't run radials with your Non street legal Bogarts, No air bags car, that has holes in the k member ,which in every where but your little fantasy land weakens the K member
You'd be great politician as much as you flip flop

My bogarts are fine. The probably just didn't want to go threw the red tape to make them dot. You harp on them enough yet run a slick.........hhhhmmm
I coulda put a tubular k in it........but then you would whine about that. Besides mine is stronger than the tubular k's, which are known for cracking......another reason why I did my own. I trust my own work and I have the experience to back it up.
