We are just finishing our camaro project car and are hoping to run some mid-low 10's n/a. We are using the stock PCM and I am curious as to how fast you stock PCM guys are going. FAST is out of the budget at this point but is still in consideration. General combo specs are:

396cid
AFR 220's ported
Solid Roller 269/280 duration 670/670 lift at .050, 114lsa
TH400
3300lb race weight
42.5lb injectors, full Aeromotive fuel system

Car will probably get to the track in the next 6-8 weeks.


Thanks for any info on fast stock PCM N/A LT1's.

 

we will see

I am also planning on using it on a big SBC I want to run 9s with

 

A buddy of mine ran a 10.76 @ 131.xx last year...N/A 396 LT1 with a 6 speed. He was still running the stock PCM and it seemed to work OK.

 

i'm runnin 10.8's with stock pcm, still a little in the comp and a lot in suspension, still spinning a little... I haven't ran into any problems withthe stock pcm, just i don't have a dyno close so i can get dyno time...

 

I have gone 10.9s at 126 with a 355/6 speed/ ported stock heads and I know a guy down here(louisiana) going 10.4s at 130 in an automatic with a 396/afr heads. No problems with the stock pcm at this point. I know we coudl both be faster with a fast system..but like you say..big bucks.

Not sure how this topic relates to Advanced Tech.... looks like it belongs in "Drag Racing"..... moving it there.

 

just curious how streetable are all these cars running ten;s at close to 130 mph. basically what i am asking is could and are they daily driven.

 

i still drive mine on the street, but it has a lot of suspension noise.. Other than that a little cam surge is about all i get.. if i wanted to take the time i could get the cam surge out of it..

 

yeah that is my goal for my car. to have a daily driven car that can trap 130 mph and still have a top speed of over 170. hopefully i can make that happend and still stay N/A. becasue as i read more and more about the F/I guys. it seems like they have nothing but problems.(or maybe it just seems that way to me)

 

I'm pretty sure Jordon's old motor would top out at 170+. He was running 130 traps N/A in a 3600 lb car, with autocross suspension and it was his ONLY car at the time. I agrre that FI can be a major headache, but it is the easiest way with the least number of compromises to get where you want to go. I am a motor person myself, might just be me, but I think most F/I cars rev too slow. Not sure how to describe it, but they just don't FEEL right. Good luck with it!

 

It's a nice goal, but keep two things in mind. It will be more expensive to get that level of performance NA and more importantly, no production based ten second small block is going to have OEM type reliability. It will take constant fiddling and repair.

so what would be more reliable and better for a daily driven car. F/I or N/A. to reach my power goals. i dont wont to go any faster that the speeds mentioned earlier. but i wont to be able to drive this car daily. and it be reliable too and dependable if that is even possible. so many decisions and so many options. but i know that once i make up my mind. and start buying parts i am going to have to see it through to the end. and oh by the way my idea of daily driven is a car that can handle stop and go traffic. keep the A/C. start and drive at least 150 miles daily. thanks for all the help guys. i am really learning a lot here
