you can go 11s with bolt ons

What is the ultimate goal? Dyno results with poor track numbers or decent dyno numbers with outstanding track results. there is a difference and you have to decide what your goal is.

 

Well, with that said about the cam, then yea you COULD do a 10 second run, as long as you have traction and can shift.

 

they said 80 hp?? I really doubt that much..however, I'm sure you'd make at least 15-20 depending upon the cam. if its a solid roller 25x/26x on a 108 or 110 lsa, then you should hit a high 10 i suppose on a perfect day. my car is totally gutted with 1 seat and no radio, hvac, etc. and i drive it every day with header bullets...people line up for a ride at the grocery store even.

 

lol you dont think it makes it any less of a "street" car though? To me a gutted car just reminds me too much of a racecar ... I mean, they have thier place, especially in street/strip applications, but for a mostly street car, I wouldnt do it. At least not with a convertible, their already heavy enough.

 

<<<would love to go 11's with bolt on's.....

wat do u guys think i will run with a CAI, open longtubes, DR's, and about 100lbs weight reduction?..... also what are the cheapest bolt on's that i should do to hit high 12's?....cuz thats my goal.....

 

Whether you run a 10.9, 11.9 or 12.9 with that setup will depend more on the suspension of the car and your driving skill, but a heads/cam 383 with a single plane has the potential to skim a 10 or net a low 11 with the right conditions.

With those cubes/heads, a single plane isnt going to free up 80hp, it may score you 10-20 peak. But it will let you keep revving and have a more useful powerband.

 

You guys are wimps about weight reduction. I'm just gonna slap my stock LT1 into a rail car and run 10's.

 

not to stray to far from the main thread but you can see what is needed in my sig...

As far as weight reduction goes, I have pulled a lot of little unneeded stuff (remeber a lot of little things add up) from my car and it is very much still a street car with stock rims/tires, AC, PS, 10 speaker stereo, all crash supports, airbags, stock carpet and interior, and it has a raceweight of 3490 with a 200+ # driver and 3/4 tank of gas. I was PMing with Shon about this last week and hope to pull a lot more weight (another 200# or more) out next season to get deeper into the 12's...

 

i have a similar setup to what you ared going to rund and my times are in my sig. the car is still on a base tune and stock fuel pump the car is full weight leather, t-top, ac, with heavy wheels and trapped very well just no traction. After my suspension and 12 bolt this winter i am shooting for high 10s

A dyno graph might help us determine what you might run.

 

You need alot of suspension and seat time with a M6.
But once you get it right I don't see why it wouldn't run 10's if you get it around 3200# and good 60'

 

i can't wait to make my first run next year once i get all my mods done....im gonna hope for 13.5 or faster
