Im wondering what i would run in the quarter. Theres an 8th mile track about 30 minutes away and a 1/4 about 1 hour away, but i dont really trust my car enough to run it or dyno it. anyways, has anyone ever run a combo like mine? ive kept up with and beaten a few LT1's including a 97 SS, but that doesnt really say much. any help is appreciated. also is there anything i can do before going to a track or a dyno to prevent damage or breaking? If i **** this engine up im screwed so im pretty careful as to what kind of abuse it gets.

well when i run at the track, i just run my car with not changing anything.. street trim.. i have made the mistake of letting a whole crap load of tire pressure out, but not anymore.

things break, and you never know when or where it can happen.

ive got a 305, 4bbl, electric fuel pump, full headers, no exaust, and a few others, a 700r4, and 3.08's with limited slip. ive run 10.4 (1/8th)and ive watched other cars and i dont think if driven properly you or i could keep up with an LT1. thats why im building a 355.

yes, have you run 1/8 th? what time?mph?

i have yet to run at any track. i would guess the major difference between our cars would be mine is a t5 and i also have an XE262 cam.

I'd be interested to see how much different it makes.

Around 50HP+ and another 1000RPM with intake and exhaust mods. It's a big difference.

id have to see proof to belive a cam could make 50 hp without heads.

Summit says on a 305, this cam and a chip will make 40hp. Just something to think about.

cam is worth 40HP on a LG4.
