Give me your insight?

Ok, I've always wanted a 347ci. Why? I have no idea, I just like the number I guess. What I would love to do is get between 450-500rwhp with this motor. Can it be done? If not what motor would I need to achieve this? My goal is to have a powerful n/a car running in the 11s. Deep in my heart, I feel like using a power adder is like cheating. But in case I need to go faster, I would just add a bottle of nitrous. I know this would have to be a high compression car, right? This car wouldn't be my daily driver but I would to be able to drive it whenever I want with a/c and power steering. What do you guys think?

You think you need WAY more than you really do to go 11's

I use Paul's heavy, fully loaded, stock blocked, combo as a reference point for my opening statement.

You have set yourself up quite nicely to achieve that goal with the fact you are not gonna do it with a dd.

Are you talking about your heavy vert in this example
and
what trans type

anyway ......

Now its your turn
or
whoever else wants to reply to my thoughts

It'll be my current vert. I'd probably get a t56 or that t5 the one that is super. Can't remember the name right now. I would like to achieve low 11s n/a. Maybe I won't have to get those big hp/tq numbers but they would be nice. My main goal would be to accomplish low 11s/10s n/a. Besides that, hp/tq #s come in second.

Well ..................

First you said 11's

Now you say low 11's

A full second kinda makes a diff

Low 11's and Heavy Vert will mean a good bit more of a challenge when trying to do it with an oem stock block

Maybe you SHOULD think of more cubes or more forceful ways to get air/fuel in the motor

btw ... low 12's is not too shabby and you can get there for a good bit less moola than low 11's ... if money is an issue

Damn!!!!!

That's the power I'm talking about. Great link.

Grady, hopefully money won't be an issue since I would take it slow and buy the best whenever I do purchase something. Bigger cubes is definately an option, well not an option, IT'S A MUST. And while I'm at it, I would love to be running 10s n/a. That would be a dream come true.
