Here's a list of N/A G3 times.
NA Gen3 times
Did a little racing with our 225k mile junkyard hemi went 6.83 @98.3 mph in the 1/8 with a VERY basic engine combo in our 3150lb Ex cab Dakota. Stock 04 shortblock, pair of lightly touched up eagle heads, comp 273 cam, PAC springs, Ritter intake w/ 4150 carb on 93 pump gas. Put our previous 360 magnum power plant to shame. The 360 was almost 11/1 compression, ported 2.02 valve magnum heads, [email protected] SFT cam and Indy intake with the same carb. The 360 could only muster 7.18 @ 95mph. (Below thread OP's words - quoted and condensed)
First outing with junkyard 5.7 = Win!!
Ray Mayers - 2016 Drag Week Super Street Small Block - NA class winner with an averaged of
[email protected]
...pump gas, 3200-3300lbs, stock rocker arms, stock heads ported by him. He took first place in his class on drag week 2016 and didn't turn a wrench on it all week. That wouldn't be easy to do on a small or big block mopar(The ET is easy, the low service and reliability is not) - Quote from link below
Does the Gen III hemi impress you?

Don't think any of them fit the criteria or are fast enough for a Golden Calf Shootout (assuming the posted GC times are true). But they speak to some fast cars built using the G3 as a powerplant. And Ray Meyers' car is a true street car (as in able to do far more than a 10 mile drive), and Triple Threat said he could easily make his car street legal. Add that Triple Threat's car is a true 9 second 1/4 mile car, unlike the Golden Calf that is only assumed to be.
Don't read this wrong, I am in no way saying everyone should run a G3. But sure seems like some have been successful without having to get very exotic.
