Opinions needed from the proven 10 second and faster cars

Good luck with that block....

I toyed with the idea of building a car like this...then decided my '95 would be happy with a 306 and a 125 shot. Building another car (a notchback with a race turbo) makes much more sense for me!

I will be interested to see what happens with 700 on a stock 302 block. Hopefully it won't take out too many of the supporting parts when it goes.

Engine pieces will do nice work to the turbo as well.

My torque converter is pretty loose mine slips 17% right around redline
PI 4500rpm I am switchign my TC down to around a 3000rpm i heard i'll pick up 4mph in the 1/4 just doing that only.

Dont be fooled into thinking that less stall speed means that the converter will lock up better. it seems that way sometimes because you cant get to where the motor works until the race is over On the brake I can stall 4800 in a short amount of time, yet if I leave at 3100 on the brake I can put it on the bumper before it ever see's 4800 I had mine built for the hp I thought I would make with the turbo's and then tried to get my N/A stall ##'s as close as I could to where we thought the turbo's could take over without waiting all day.
