for starters i want to go bust 1000rwhp again. i barely got there before, i would like to make a little more honest effort and see how the psi/hp numbers compare. after drag week i will try and turn it up to the 1200-1300rwhp range and see if it will do it. i dont know if it will hold that power for long or not. my motor does have some good parts but nothing exotic.
i have said in other posts that if i really wanted to go faster i would have spent my money on suspension and rear end upgrades. with the same set up in the back as i had last year i will be happy to just sneak into the 9's. with upgraded rear end and some traction tricks i could see some mid 9's or maybe even lower 9's. i really dont know what it will run or if it will just break a ton of parts.

My guess will be 9.7's with good tuning and agressive boost. Faster than that I think the suspention will give up. Either way, you have more than proven the 10-bolt rear can hold serious power. I dont know how all these 350-400rwhp F-bodys are breaking them.

after the twins and drag week i want to do a better intake/tb and duel fuel system. i will also step up to 3.5" down pipes and manual cut outs. with those mods i will feel comfortabe cranking it up and seeing what it can do on the dyno. as far as suspension mods go i dont know yet. i will likely try some mickey tompson tires on there maybe a beefier rear but i dont know if i want to get any more nuts than that.
