11 second smallblock...how would you build it?
honestly man, your setup makes me jealous for how good it runs!!! lol...i currently have a 340 .30 over, 10.5:1 cr, stock x heads, 1-5/8 headers, 3 inch exhaust, comp magnum 280H cam, airgap, 750hp holley, 3.91 gear and best et guesses im getting is low 13's! go figure! lol..but air and track definatly make huge differences...
but you have me wondering and asking something i never have before....this goal of mine, is there anyway the magnums can reach it? this doesnt have to be strictly LA, im just looking for the best, cheapest way to hit the 11's with what i outlined
Thanks for the complaments, nothing to get jealous about, its just a very simple combo, i feel this time i'm on to something i like more then a big carb'd, big cammed, high compression ride that can't be driven on the street & needs race fuel, i DEFINITLY swear by these Indy RHS heads, for the price they just can't be beat, when you say magnums, are you talking engine/heads or that comp magnum cam? Can't speak for the cam, As for the engine, tell you this, i'm in the market for a spare 360 magnum shortblock for a backup.
What is your Alt. up there? The track i race at is 1650ft, so its not quite sea level, but its not bad.
Its hard to dictate how to get your car in the 11.9s NA from where your at, if you've already dropped the AC, PS & PBs, thats about all i did, i did install jegs racing seats, mine still retains all its glass, metal & steel bumpers, along with most interior parts, so its not stripped.
You need to mainly consintrate on getting good 60ft. times, so whatever that takes, the easiest is gears & converter. All i would need to do at this point to acheive a solid 12.2/12.3 car is a race type converter thats still streetable & say a 4.11 gear without lifting as much as a VC. & still have a stockish idle shifting at 5200, sweet ha 8).
One more thing as i'm reading your post, did i read that right! Did you say low 13 "GUESSES"!!!, is this your guess or others??You need to go take it to the track, don't guess, & if your getting these guesses from members, "shame on you"!! It was "shame on me" when i listened, i was told by many it would never break a 12.99 with what i had, again, "shame on me", because i knew this car felt really strong, & i've run in the 10s for 2 yrs. & many passes in my duster, they almost had me convinced untill i ran that 13.07 3 weeks ago spinning the tires on a 1.94.
