haha well over this winter i intend to save enough cash to do this in the real world... i expect about 2000 for the heads and cam from ai and about 375 for the intake port work, then bigger injectors and all the other junk so i know its not cheap but i want something fast and something thats N/A. i think these heads and cam and intake along with a 355 possibly a 383 should do the trick, for elevens anyways right?

 

Let's just say that if it were cheap/easy to build a 10 second street car, there would be more of them.

haha rich i know tens is a lofty and most likely un-reachable goal, but i just want a good set-up that moves you know what i mean?

 

[QUOTE=rich152;4933455]Lets not get crazy. This might be alittle bit of a high estimate. Chevy what you are missing is its not just about a mean motor that is going to get your #'s down. You have to have the entire drivetrain setup. You can build a 400+ hp 383 for less then 12G's but your rear end and d/s cant handle it. It will take alot of work, time, and money to get to were you want to be. A h/c car just isn't going to do it.[/QUO



You are right but it is not a high estimate.


3500 for heads that flow in the 320 range ready to bolt on
3000 for good intake and 1300CFM TB.
2800 for good rotating assy complete,rings,bearings,ect
2500 to machine,balance and fix the blocks weak points.
1500 for cheap cam and solid lifters otherwise tack on another 1000
300 GOOD oil pump(Titan)
350 oil pan
1000 for shaft rockers
300 valve covers
200 push rods

150 ARP head bolts
1000 headers
500 exhaust
2500 for Mosier 12 bolt
1500 for Mc Cloud clutch
500 for scattershield
300 for flywheel
400 driveshaft
1000 for shocks
650 torque arm
300 LCA
500 for K member
1500 roll cage
150 seat belts
--------------------
26,300
2000 for NO2 fogger
--------------------
28,300 and no gaskets,plugs,wires,oil,ect

Not far off with my estimate for a car that will run mid 10's and drive it home and not get stranded at the strip. I left out a bunch also.

Then ya better have 30,000 if ya want to race it when ya are done.

 

[QUOTE=1racerdude;4933531]If you do all that and your not running bottom 9's your doing something wrong...

 

[QUOTE=speed_demon24;4933561]Yea with the fogger. There are a lot that ain't doing 9's WITH the no2. It's real hard to spray a second off of a car with a single set up or sometimes bigger;

 

[QUOTE=1racerdude;4933577]A 320cfm aftermarket head, single plane, solid roller motor setup should atleast be in the high 9's, so with the nitrous the car should be in the bottom 9's if everything is setup right.

 

[QUOTE=speed_demon24;4933597]yeah, your right.........like rich said, it ain't easy. Thats why you hardly ever see it. Not to mention its an expensive thing to do

 

Kraest had that 408ci LS1 Vette... it ran mid 10's IIRC. Seems to me you could build something similar on an LT1 platform.

 

Mid 10's is a LONG way from mid/low 9's

 

Thats what he said anyway....yet he never ran it

 

Who said anything about low 9's? The original poster said his car runs 9.0 in the 1/8.

 

whoa whoa haha i dont wanna go that far,, why is 320 cfm necessary? you dont think i could get to low elevens high high tens with like the le3 head that flows like 280 or the ai 200 cc head?

 

[QUOTE=mdacton;4933605]Thats why I said should be. Rick Abare is running high 9's with heads that "only" flow 28x cfm with an lt1 intake, and Ed wright is running high 9's with lt4 heads and an lt4 intake, so heads that flow another 40cfm and a single plane should be able to atleast run as fast as their cars if everything is setup properly.

 

haha i dont really want 9's thats ridiculous haha very high tens to mid elevens is that i want,,, dont you guys think i could do this with the ai 200 h/c package with intake port anda good dyno tune?
