$5k and 10s
#17
Here's how I'd do it. Take my f-body and set it to the side. Then I'd buy a newer model (used) 600 (preferably an R6) sportbike and strap it. Boom. 10s with an LT1 f-body... off to the side.
Of course I already have this, so I already succeeded!

In his 3rd post he says spray is NOT in the deal??
You cant do it in an F body....no, 454 CHevy powered coupe Mustang, maybe.
F body is too heavy.
ALL new parts, NOT...the 5 grand will disappear with a quickness.

There was an article in GMHTP awhile back where someone did a budget build on his LT1 and was hitting 10s. Alot of his nitrous system was custom made, he even made his own jets I remember reading. I think he is a member on here, just can't remember his username.

@ the people making up this list that have no clue what it takes to get a heads/cam car to go 10's...
$5k to go 10's reliably with new parts
A heads/cam set alone that's worth a damn is going to run you $2k
A rear end? $2k
A transmission? $1700
A converter/cooler combo that's not the usual POS that people buy? $1k
Valvetrain? $500-700
Wheel/Tire combo? $1k
Leaving out TONS of stuff....
Get realistic people.

If you want to go fast for cheap, buy one of these.

Okay, here's what I'd do.
Starting with a 1995 Z28 hardtop and $5000, I would:
1. Sell the Z28 for $4000.
2. Buy a trashed late 80's 5.0 for $350.
3. Gut it.
4. Buy something like this
5. Junkyard 9".
6. Get a used set of Welds with slicks and skinnies.
7. Homemade turbo + exhaust.
There ought to be plenty of money left over for the little details.

Because every internet warrior can build a car better than the people who have actuallly done it. I would have thought that you would have learned about this by now.

I think this guy did it pretty cheap.
