Buying a KB in the spring (intercooled of course) and was wondering if 11's are possible with this car. I know these engines can only handle around 450 rwhp, but whats the fastest time you guys have seen with a modded out 2v block?
With gears, drag radials (and, of course, a beefed up rear end/axles) and supporting mods that car can hit 11's with a KB. I can hit mid 12's with a simple nitrous shot on my auto and some bolt ons. If you're going to be daily driving on the auto I would suggest 3.73's. I'd like to do a manual swap though - the 4R70W is a bit sluggish but it's very dependable and rather beefy. With the ammount of HP you're going to put down you will definitely want to beef it up internally and add a larger trans cooler.
With my new Tork Tech kit, I hope to hit 11s with some traction. It doesn't actually take that much power to go fast if the rest of the car is set up correctly.
