What horse do you think? This motor is in a 1990 vert.. I just bought it.. The guy who i bought it off of said that he ran a best of 13.46 and 103mph. Thinking about get 100 shot of nitrous.. Do you think that will get me into the 12's?

I think that is about right for those mods, But I think the combo is maxed out as far as the time is concerned,You might get it to run 13.30s maybe, But a convertable is a heavy car.

Thats a lot of cam you have for that combo. If you had it matched a little better you'd have better results, but i'd bet slicks and a 100 shot would get you really close to 11's.

so if he had a lower lift cam, he'd get more out of it?? I guess its not just all the best parts, but its the parts working with eachother that makes the power....

your entire engine is a 'system' per-say and all the components have to be able to work as a team. so a super big top end cam on say stock heads and an intake that can't go over say 5500rpm won't get you very far
