Find some traction somewhere (maby santa will bring me some for christmas!) I want to get into the 13's with motor only my best is a 14.36 with major traction issues and an awful light. Then I want to spray my way into the 12's. After that I dont know.

Get all 8 cylinders back up to 200 psi of compression, some antifriction coatings and some ceramic thermal barrier on piston tops and chambers.Then maybe some more weight loss . Go back to a flat hood.

mildly worked over 243 heads on the LS1, cam it, and hopefully make high 12's on motor. then spray to see if i can dip into 11's...hopefully im not asking too much lol.

Have my heads worked over possible get some fordged rods/pistons....still not sure if that one is worth the investment at this point.
Get a 3200 stall and hopefully run some 12's on motor.
Then i will get me some gogo juice and maybe hit 11's.
Eventually if it's a good year...aka:no more broken trannies....do a intake swap as well.
Oh i'll have to get some traction at some point in there as well lol.

10's at only 14psi? :eek2: In that heavy ass pig? :jest: Awesome! You'll need to get some serious saftey devices too. :chug: I'd love to see a 10sec EC in AZ, you'd scare the shit out of all the "12 sec" and "13 sec" cars around here. :judge:

LOL - I figure if Dusty is running 11.4's with a 6.0 at 14 psi I should be able to hit 10's with the same psi on the 408 with a little bit of weight reduction. I might have to find someone to borrow some smaller tires from too....but damn it, I'm gonna do it!!!
And if I can't do it with just the turbo I'll probably have to spray a little to get me there :)

With my dream engine, which you are building, I think you should go faster than 10's.... :devil:
