270-300 rwhp, mid to high 12s

12's easy, with driving of course. dont expect to run awesome first few passes. make those first few passes your "learning" runs...get a feel for the car, how it launches, what tire pressure it likes, etc....then after that, go balls out

 

[Roland69]

you should be in the mid 12's but if it's your first time going to the track I'd be happy with mid-low 13's

 

[aleborjas]

i think you have a little small TB should go at least 70mm and you should be mid 12's

ur main concern will be traction because of the 225's. i would look for high 12's if u dont blow the tires off 2 bad.

 

[my289eatsrice]

Thanks for all your input guys... I do have another question. I wanna know what kinda power I can be expecting with a good tune, and I was leaning towards doing a single or twin turbo kit afterwards with low boost afterwards. Do you think the GT-40 manifold is chokeing my performance, and how much boost could I ram through that DSS lower end?

Interesting statement, and your reasoning for this?65mm will easly support his combination of parts and then some...safe until nearing 400FWHP.

Your combo looks great as is..with good driving 12 should be very reasonable.

forgot to ask, what size injectors u got???

 

[my289eatsrice]

24 pound injectors, and calibrated MAF. My main goal is to get into the 11's, what do u think is the best way to do that while keeping the car completely streetable(meaning I don't want to run 4:10's out back) and reliable.

Get some sticky tires. Do a little weight loss if your up for it, i know you want streetable but you can lose the a/c and heater core if possible, smog if that isnt a concern, battery in back, front sway, and a bunch of other little things. Even a little shot of nitrous just for the track will get you there without any of that above

One of my friends has a similar setup (dss306 w/brodix heads) and he runs a 10psi vortech. he had 520HP at the wheels. he is not an experienced driver and he ran low 12's.

 

[my289eatsrice]

wow, I have another buddy that has a stock crank, forged rods and pistions, TFS heads, and 11:1 compression w/ some other stuff and NO NOS and sticky tires that runs 11's consistantly. I guess it's all about hooking up. Your buddy should be deep into the 11's if not 10's.

same i was going to say sticky tires will put u in the 1.7-1.8 60" time and every 100lbs off the car drops u .1 in the 1/4 mile
