10 sec. 318?

I don't know…… I see a bunch of these 13 second cars at shows, cruising town on Saturday nights, road tripping it to the beach. The people always look like they are having a great time.

I see the guys with the 10 second cars posting pics of broken parts, asking for help or giving updates on repair work.


Everyone has different needs I guess.

Obviously you have never had a 10 sec. car, i raced mine for 2 yrs. & over 250 passes & NEVER broke anything EVER!! If he wants a street car that runs solid 11s, i would suggest a 360 stroker, or even a 318 stroker (391), if he sets it up right, it'll run 11s all day on pump gas & be streetable (if not better), i had a bunch of guys on the boards say my combo would not run a 12.99, it just wasn't happening, well i proved them wrong, i'll be going for a 12.8 this weekend, & believe me, my combo ain't ****, its extreamly mild to say the least, i drive it too the track. Is my car slow, yes it is, 11.0s is really nice seat in the pants feeling, 12.0s isn't, but thats my opinion. I won't comment on you can't build a 318 for 6K that won't run 10.99, i'll bet it can be done, but thats just for the engine, nothing else, no matter what he decides, it'll be a $$$$ pit if he wan'ts to go fast.
