????? thats just where the fuel line sits stock, and the stock schrader valve isnt any less likely to leak.
Oh you definitely could pick up 2 seconds. A 8-10# boost combo would/should put you there(also near the edge of durability on that block also lol). A small shot of nitrous would put you into the mid to low 11's easily. If you wanted to go in that direction. Bottle refills get old but it's the cheapest bang for the buck. A good system would only cost 1/3(with all the add ons) of the cost of a blower. I know my 302 could go 10's with a descent shot. The blower route has its issues with bracket racing(unless you can get ample cool downs between passes). Nitrous is more consistent IMO. If it's just a run as fast as you can thing then I vote forced induction. There is something about a simple n/a 12 sec combo though. It's cheap. It's consistent. Its relatively simple/low maintenance etc. and 3k would get you a hell of a stroker shortblock?! Easily capable of low 11's and a good motor could go 10's.Just a husky air compressor filter with two 1/4npt to 3/8 hose barb fittings in the pcv line. Ill have to figure out a more permanent mount somehow, but for now i just have it zip tied to the brake line on the firewall (yes, ghetto rigged, but i needed to see where oil was getting in).
This class is also making me second guess wanting to stay n/a. EVERYTHING I've been running against has some kind of power adder. Wondering if I want to spend the $3k+ for a vortech, and if i could pick up 2 seconds that way.
