10.93 at 124.7 is my best et. Have been 10.97 at 125.9 on a worse 60'....all in around +500 DA. Ported stock castings, 355, good rods/pistons but stock crank, solid roller, 6 speed. I would drive the car everyday with a few changes. I think the car as it sits would go 10.7s at least in our good winter air..but we will never know since things are a-changin.

Being in the south, I would have never pulled the AC out...it wasn't working so I didn't want to carry it..if it was a daily I would havefixed it. I would put the power stearing back on or prolly just convert it to manual rack instead of the poor mans manual I have now. Besides that not much. I would pull one suspension peice and only hook it up for track only(Pet-Z bars). Besides those 3 things it could be a daily driver very easy....oh yea..I would do more part throttle tuning also..but thats easy since I have lt1 edit. I still think in that setup with good air the car would go at least 10.9s...maybe 10.8s. .

yea, I could drive this thing every day. You also have to remember I'm a racer so a little cam surge and a touchy clutch is nothing to me...but the new style spec stage 3 is lots better than my ceramic stage 3 I use to run . Actually..it doesn't surge untill around 1200 rpms. The numbers are deceptive to how tame this cam sounds compaired to some hyd rollers. I actually thing the CC 306 cam "sounds" biger than mine. I shift at 6900-7000 and running stock computer..hence..I can tune it with lt1 edit. Ive driven CC306 cars and would choose mine over that for every day driver hands down.

I will be shooting for 11.30's when I get some decent air with my new setup. But I am more concerned about running lower 10's on N2o than running low 11's N/A hence the 3.42's. I will be out testing this weekend. Later Clint

Well I have a couple options on the rear but I live by the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I saw an LS1 car run 9.90's with the stock 3.23's gears in the stock 10bolt so go fiqure. 
The car feels strong and probably needs more gear N/A but if it runs 11.40's-50's N/A I won't change gear. Later Clint

Russ, aka Greenbean, did it with his AI H/C car and it has some serious issues. 11.2@119.9ish, that could would have went close to 10s on a good day and no issues.
Do not know what the car will run after more work is completed.
