whyrun: A properly built engine will get you there. The guys at Ai know what they are doing. I made it into the 10's on a 355 6-speed. I am sure a properly stalled/ built automatic would be much quicker than what I have. Talk to them about building an engine for you. You can save just about $1,000 right off the bat by not having to buy aftermarket head castings.

The nitrous will absolutely put an already fast car into another category, so I think a high 10 sec slip will be your slow pass.

My car is "close" to a 10 second pass.. I think it's only suspension-work and a real tune away from doing it... and it's a full weight car, not a tin-can.

If I sprayed my car I'd be skipping 10's for 9's That'd be my goal anyways...

See sig for basic car details. I like my 355.
