If you get the tune, and setup right it should be possible. I think the tight converter could end up hurting the motor. Need to launch with like 150 hp then bring the other 150 in after 4500 rpm. Id also want a cam with a 10-12 deg split with that much n20.

 

28x10 hoosiers and caltracs. 3.73s and a spool.

I did a 250 shot on my buddys 350k mile 4.8 and it ran awesome with 3.42s and a radial.
Its goin to be a learning experience thats for sure.


yea Thats gonna be the fun part..
Still gotta figure out a stall and im trying to get him to go to a two stage.
he sent me the cam card so im fixin to post it up, he has a guy that wants to buy it so ill text ya about a cam once he figures out if he wants to do nitrous or not .. dang kids these days...

 

 

The weight is going to kill it. If you can pull a bunch of weight out of it, get it around 4000# ready to go down the track, with about a 4500 converter, some really deep gears and spin it 7k+ rpm's, it COULD run 10s. That's assuming the motor makes 300-325 n/a now. And really no room to miss the tuneup

 

Really thinking of using methanol for a fuel in the standalone.. everdone that?
I know you have played with nitrous a good bit.

 

I've never done it. Alot of people that run methanol for their main fuel source actually use gas for their nitrous enrichment because the methanol doesn't "explode", has a real slow burn rate. Doing what you're wanting to do with that poor stock motor, I'd use a fuel that people are familiar with to help you get the tuneup close

 

Id start with a 80e and a yank pro 3400, good plugs and fuel and a vary good nitrous tuner you might get a 10. Exhaust flow will kill it, it will eaither need a cam with ex dur in the 240s-250s or a better flowing head.

 

Can be done I went 11.1 on a 150 shot very first time on n2o.......then went again thus past Jan hit 150 of the hole and an other 100 shortly after went 10.5.....could of gone a little faster but truck lost power before the finish....next time out should have full suspension done and hit 250 of the hole if we don't get the 9 then we will do an other 100 on top of that.......if I am nit mistaken I think I have gone the fastest on a 5.3 with n2o setup shooting to be the fastest 5.3 period that would be 10.03 I think and be the first one to the 9s .

 

You went 12.0 on motor though, not 13.6 lol

 

Lol u have a point but that was with 4l65 102 fast and diffrent cam ......I ran a 12.7 with the 80 Vic Jr and the cam I have right now
