10 sec small block

I think the vision of a 10 second comfortable take it on family trips and put 10,000 miles on it a year are far fetched.

I believe people that want to venture that direction aren't looking for that. Their just looking for a radical street car. Short trips and IF I wanted fuel economy I would have bought a Smart Car.

While I toyed with my truck people would always ask me what kind of mileage do you get? Honestly I use to tell them who gives a $hit. But I can get between 10-17 MPG.

Here's where I come from as far as street able fast comfortable vehicles. For instance my truck. All ECM custom calibration 3 levels of tunes to select from. Tow,race and Extreme. This 7500+ pound warrior with a 100 shot of N2O will run 12's. There are 2500 series diesels that are in the 10's ON fuel that can still haul the trailer and get the grocery's on Saturday morning with the kids.

My truck rides and drives like a caddy at 500 RWP which is over 700 HP at the crank running through a built Allison transmission. You'd never know unless I turn the wick up and when those A,B solenoids fire off the 1-2 shift and that big phat *** is coming around.

I got out of it because it's expensive. Although with the money I have in my car to date I could have a 10 second daily driver ,family hauler ease the seat back and enjoy the ride!

So I don't believe you can do it with old school carburetter engines. Bring fuel injection and computer calibration into the picture and then I believe it would be a different story.

The last 10 second car I had a ride in was a Grand National. Fun crazy not something I see you sitting in,in traffic ,in the Hamptons with a trunk full off luggage and kids asking are we there yet!

I'd still like to know more about that 360 build and are those ET calibrated HP numbers? Because dam I have some money in the Edelbrock heads on my 340 with polishing and porting.
