Just based off of my first 12 second build. It took a lot more work than I was initially expecting it to and because of that I now have more respect for anyone who can build a 12 second streetable 318.
 
My buddy Al. 318 with W2's on E85. Not a street car though.

LMAO. Sorry to sidetrack. Not a street car. Trans brake, race glide and a 9" with a 4.88 if I remember correctly.
 
A 13 sec. 318 would be pretty impressive. 400+ horse? what does the Wallace calculator say it needs for horsepower to achieve the et goals in the poll above?
 
Imo any street car that runs 13s or better is impressive. If I had a 318 a body running a 13.5 I would be extremely happy and consider that a killer 318!.

What does a 318 "on the street, all throttle, pump gas" have to run in a estimate 3100 A-body in the 1/4 mile before you say "That's a Killer 318" !!

3100# with 400 hp will get you to 11.53 @ 117 mph. 400 horse is fairly streetable and easy to get to.

Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 3100 pounds and HP of 400 is 11.53 seconds and MPH of 117.24 MPH.

I voted 11s. I think regardless of what it is or what engine, 11 seconds is really stout. You're gonna have to have some serious sheeot to come around it.

You could drive it across 3 states and pull into any gas station along the way, like Casey's, and not worry.

If you can drive it across 3 states and run pump gas and go race it, it's probably not all that wild of a combo. My 318 has compression close to 11:1 and iron heads, so it's not going to be super happy on 93/94 octane at a race scenario. I keep 110 in it due to this reason, but also because it can be had out of the pump and keeps great, so technically it's a "pump gas" engine. I'm not advertising it as such, I'll tell everybody and their brother it's 110 octane. Could I drive it across 3 states on pump gas? Maybe, but I'll probably never find out for sure.

well, honestly, 112 octane that they sell at the track comes from a "pump", so one could say pump gas. But most folks generally consider pump gas "any gas station along the way" is good enough gas without detuning the car. My thought if a person has to "Question" if a car runs off of pump gas, then it doesn't.

The 110 I purchase comes from the gas station. We have 3 local stations that sell it. I just hear it so much that it can't be just a generic term, there needs to be a qualifier with it, like 93 pump etc.

A guy on this site runs 11.7's with a 318 in a true street car on street tires and pump gas. That, in my book, definitely qualifies as a killer 318

I agree that is a killer 318. I think that there a quite a few killer 318s. In my book, if it genuinely shocks a person that it's "just a 318" then it's close to a killer 318.
 
318 has valves that will fly your 318is killer!.. it does low thirteen's and is on the verge of 12's.. or is that 360? Either way you're a master tuner and there's no denying it. This thread a validation hunt or are you needing some tech support?..
