LT1 question?

[84ta406]

Even high 11's would be good for a junk yard motor. I mean look at tonys car with just bolt ons, my cars down to ~3100lbs, higher stall, gears and a full suspension. I think its very much possible IF I can get it to hook up good.

Maybe, I don't know what Tony's car weighs but you are talking .5 seconds, that's alot of hooch. I say go for it and we'll see what happens

[84ta406]

I dont know his weight, I know its similar to mine but he's also doing it on factory suspension, where I have UMI everything out back, plus adj. shocks and decent springs.. plus.. TH400 > 4L60E

I dunno I think mid 11's is possible with the right cam.

Tony is almost there on a stock motor!!!! But his raceweight it pretty light.

What's wrong with the 406 again??

Needs pistons, rings, bearings and all new gaskets. While I'm in there I might as well do everything nice so it's going on the shelf for a bit. Compression test was n specs but the 's dropped since the last time it was done.

yeah I guess if you can really beat him in the 60 ft you might make 11's, i just think it is alot of time to be making up with just a cam and some traction. Like I said I have no idea, more power to ya if you can do it

low 12s car probably..... 11's is gonna be hard

thats pretty high hopes for a motor with 208k on it. the rings will have blow by. the stock heads wont flow enough to even make the power that cam has to offer. and on a stock 350 it will have to spin to almost 7 grand to make the power. if you spin that motor that high your asking for it. drop the motor in STOCK and drive it. leave it alone and save the 900 bux in top end shit your gunna need to be able to run that cam. i have a 3000 stall TH400 non lock up converter its a TCI streetfighter Anti Ballooning. ill sell it to you cheap. like 50 bux. there goes your need to spin to 7 grand.

i dunno just seems like a stoopid idea to me to ruin that motor with a horrible cam just to be able to spin it high enough for a stall just because you have it.
