...and I'm one of those guys you speak of. However, 400 to the tire (which would be 470ish at the crank) from a 306 would be a donkey dick cam, high compression, huge intake and heads with a very narrow powerband. Lighter rods, pistons, crank, etc. to spin it pretty high, I would presume. I've personally never seen one but I guess that doesn't mean they don't exist.
I would assume such a car would have 0 streetability.

13 flat in 2700DA in less than desirable conditions in a heavy ~250whp bolton LT1 WS6 - I'm ok with that
So, my 13 flat is still better than what you ran in a cammed car, correct?

I'll play the excuse game, too. The (tiny) cam was installed advanced due to "dot to dot" install instead of actually degreeing the cam, and the thing flat fell on its face after 5000rpm because of this. The motor had decent heads but that's about it.

I counted 3 or 4 excuses in your post, and yes your modified car with 48 more cubes ran hundredths of a second faster than my modified car

Were the heads stock as well on your old car?
LTjuan ain't **** without doz cubes and ebay headers!
If only we knew what we knew now! I'm done, I can't be mean that long - even if pretending.

Ohh well, car went to **** now... It seems to be whoring itself around to shitty owners on local Craigslist every once in awhile.
I was just giving you ****, Doug.

If my 86 doesn't go faster than 12.8 (assuming I don't completely **** the launch) then I'll drive it into an oncoming train
He told me he could feel himself get dumber when he posted that reply.
Did I use small enough words in my post?

I would hate to see my old WS6 hacked up like your car.
It really was a clean car until all of the owners after me.
I would have bought the black 99 WS6 instead of my 97 WS6. Guy was going through a divorce and talked him down to a very nice cash price, but I was too cheap to go through with it.
You also never told me if they were stock heads on your 95, derp.

Bench racing at this point, but the only regret that I have with my old car besides buying it over an LS car is not running it in better air and throwing some skinnies on the front vs the heavy 275/40/17 ws6 wheels. It could have used a more precise tune as well, but even just some better air and some skinnies out front I would have been curious to see what it was capable of. That 13 flat really pissed me off.

I like seeing good running lt's.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have never gotten rid of my 87 for my 95

That car looked like a pile of mismatched parts. Live and learn!
