rebuilding bottom end

[BurningRubber]

ahh ok, well i was only aiming for high 11's and if i can do 10's then wow. The only weight i have in the car is 150lbs worth of stereo equipment and a spare tire. I plan on doing a full suspension upgrade after the engine upgrade, but not for a little while. I plan to have a couple tunes, one with 6-10psi pushing 425hp and one pushing 550hp, and one pushing 600+ if its capable of getting there. I'm thinking of getting a kenne bell which supports 750hp but I'm not 100% sure if im going that route or not because 5k will break the bank and then some. A used kit would be best, ive also been thinking about a vortech but i dont like how the boost rises with rpms, thats why roots is my favorite choice. What do you think?

If you want to cut weight, just pull the subs/amp if its possible before you go to the track. Every 100lbs lost equates to 1/10th reduction on your ET at the drag strip. Taking out the 150lbs of stereo stuff and the spare would be close to 200lbs. Again, thats only if removing the audio equipment isn't too much of a pain in the butt, lol.

As far as S/C choice, it's all about what you want.

Roots and twin screw's are all about the instant boost.

Centri's do build boost, but like 04YellowGT said with gears it comes on quick. I have a buddy with a Vortech blown GT and with 4.10's he sees boost pretty fast. Centri's act more like a turbo in that aspect though.
