Just thinking here can you go 10sec with a 383 full weight daily driven AND N/A what would the set up i need IE :

head
cam
so on
just for fun

 

fully ported afr lt4's with ported lt4 intake
custom matched cam
wicked suspension setup + 12 bolt
drags
proper tuning!

 

Yea, I cant see why it couldnt be done. Esp if you could get that car to sixty on tires.

 

lol you should have specified staying at 23* heads.

But since you didnt i'll say sb2.2 or brodix canted heads on a 383 and go 9s.

 

Since 99% of us haven't done it, I'd say we don't know what it would take. Talk to Steve Quinn if you can - He knows what's going on.

Yea, theres a lot of factors to it. Jordan did it with a 396. making the power isnt the problem, just getting to hook and go down the track. That and what ever the deffintion of full weight it is.

 

I thought Jordon did it with a 401??

 

Since this is just for fun

Did I miss anything?

 

Joe Overton went 9.7s with regular AFR 227s.


Grease, a Donovan block is not a LT1 block.

 

He didn't say anything about the block
Besides, if you paint it black, who will know

 

I say it can be done with less cubes than 383. I honestly believe a 350/355 can do it and still be streetable....but the question is what do you consider streetable?

It will have to be lightweight, the right suspension set up, track prep to hold the fun, and the right H/C set up. Weight less than 3350 will be needed.

Local guy went 11.4s@119.5 with a miss at 6200/6300 with a 355 set up. Get that miss fixed and he is at 11.2s at least. Take out the rest of his interior and more cam and head and I believe he will be there....it might even take a solid roller set up but it can be done.

 

There is a guy on this board that goes 11.0s with a 355 and stock (ported) head castings. Oh yea, and its a 6spd car!

I want to build something similar, only use AFR 227s.

 

I thought he had a 409.

 

I think most importantly is some good air and good track. Your not running anywhere near 10's with an NA 383 in Denver. A low raceweight is a must too and an A4 makes the job alot easier.

 

I went 11.11 with 447RWHP & 470RWTQ so a 383 should put that out. I did take the back seat out but other than that it is heavier than a stock f-body with the 6 point bar and sfc. and the 25lbs N20 bottle
