Cam only huh?
Are you running a forged block for future FI or lots of spray? Lower compression? Im asking cause my uncle has a low comp forged 383 LTI that was built for nos. It runs low 12's on motor with front street tires and a slammed suspension. Not too shabby for a 97 Firebird Formula heavy vert.

Forged motor for spray. The motor is cam only... the forged internals can't add to much HP. Car should go real low 11s on motor.

That spot is too burnt, I'll still show up sometime. I just got my motor back from the machine shop so our run might take a while to happen. When it does you have to post it on this forum!!!! Oh, are we talking roll or digg??

Yeah, I think so. Don't you have some slicks and a 12 bolt rear end??? JK roll is good. Hopefully we can do that early next year. My car should be ready by january. I could cut some short cuts and have it ready earlier but then I'll end up blowing the tranny on the first launch.

Huh? You mean like 7's and 195mph in the 1/4?

Totally true.

Not sure why people believe that an AWD car is slower on a roll than a 2WD car. An AWD car making decent power will spin all 4 street tires in 2nd and 3rd gear quite easily. I guarantee you that it is an advantage by providing traction.

Yeah, but I don't see alot of 2wd cars cutting 1.4 60's.

its not about the awd car. A Fbody M6 is faster from a roll than a dig. unless you have a great launch.
