Some guy I worked with had a 383 LT1 in the 11s N/A but sprayed it and broke some things to run 10s. That's 23 cubes bigger, but you couldn't tell by looking at the engine.

I think some AFR headed 350s running the super ram and LPE 219 cam are in the 11s.

Me and a friend of mine put together a 355 that has 10.9 compression, dart iron eagle heads, torker intake and a 650 dp holley. The cam was a crane solid flat tappet. .518 .536 lift.

This ran high 11's with 3.73's and a 3000 converter.

There are people out there faster than me, but I think I fit your criteria...
I have a natural aspirated 355, 10.7:1, AFRs, Fuel Injected, dyno verified 460HP and 520ft lbs (and air conditioned!) Weight is 3300 lbs.
It's never been to the track as I just finished it in October. It will run 11s I'm fairly certain.

okay matlock, how did you get so much torque with those hp numbers on a 355? I am considering a 355 as a toy to go in an s-10 but I want to go n/a. every mockup I have seen to get 520 ft-lb has well over 500hp also. Can you share some mods so we can see how to get those tq numbers?

that thing should throw out around 500hp and 490 lbs fts

that should easily throw ya into the 11's, and that cam is perfectly streetable... power brakes too!!!!!

I can't believe no one said an 840HP 358CIN Winston Cup Engine (Say one from DEI). Geeessss....

I think the Cup cars are right at 3400 pounds, so gear it right, and wala...
...I think those cars are running around quarter mill though If not more now-a-days...

if you are arguing with your friend why not use the Ls1 or ls6?

it is a small block isn't it?

and it isn't like there is anything done to it that makes is so exotic or anything

Which TRW pistons are you using with those 68cc chamber AFR's, do they have a dome?

yeah i got one, you need pics or somthing? how about a video or 4? I got some. Kingtal0n@aol.com email me and ill email you.

its a simple buildup too. 76 camaro, 360 sbc, th400 (w/brake), big slicks.

its been done and re-done and re-done. the whole N/A 11 second thing, that is.

hell in 1969 the Beefed up Z-28s with the dinky 302's that spun 11,000 Rpms would run 11's. not the stock ones (those were 13 second machines) the real beefed up ones. I wasnt around back then but i got plenty of literature on that time era.

thanks kingtalon, thats what im talking about,

yes, the ls1 IS bad *** and exotic, the different valve angles make it dramatically different from a small block, the complex fuel injection works magic. it is a work of art.

yes, this is to win the bet with the gn guy.

send me videos or links to

Yes, they are domed. The compression ratio is about 10.7:1. The heads had to be clearanced to clear the dome.

if you hook correctly you can run an 11 on that setup. thats a 7K rpm setup, in my opinion, should be good for about 600-650 horsepower N/A. Add nitrous and you've got a pretty mean machine.

fuel injection does work fairly well but almost any motor comes stock with fuel injection...

also as far as the heads are going the ls1 might use different valve angles but it is still a small block chevy... also if I went out and bought a 350 right now, you know the most common small block, I could get heads that have an 18 degree valve angle to them. granted they cost mroe but I wouldn't call that exotic.

so why can't you use it against your friend for the argument?

dude, what is wrong with you?
an LS1 is NOT a small block chevy, an lt1 i could see. but the only thing an ls1 shares with its predecessor would be ROD BOLTS.


not exactly the same aye?
the fuel injection that comes on the LS1 is about a million times more complex than that found on most cars. especially the beloved TPI system.

thank you drive through.

this is my post, dont argue with me on my simple question, i just wanted to know what people had done.

this is my post, dont argue with me on my simple question, i just wanted to know what people had done.

first off you need to carry less of an attitude around here.
second you said that you wanted to know what ppl have done to there cars, but yet your original question was stated as such



[b]
i need to find a car that runs 10s or 11s naturally aspirated with 4.11s or taller. in a 3200 or more car. does anyone have one?

this is to win a bet with a GN guy. come on. im trying to make chevy look good.


adam
[b]

being that the ls1 is a under that 360ci displacement IT DOES MEET YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION. therefore I posted about it as did others.

the fuelinjection system found of the LS1 even though it might be more complex then a TPI shouldn't disqualify it from the arguement... if this was the case then why not get rid of the TPI setup due to it being millions of times more complex then the mechanical fuel injection system used on the vette back in the day.


as for the LS1 not being a small block chevy I could have sworn that it was still a small block chevy albeit a new generation of small block chevy. but still a small block chevy and regardless still under your 360ci displacement rule you posted at first.

but please I don't know why you have have an issue now I tried to remain polite while just offering some help, and yet you become rude with me. I just hope you get your issues figured out rather then going off on people who are trying to give you some advice

lol, i dont think i was "going off"

yes, i should have mentioned that this was for NON LS1 cars. my fault, but after i say no ls1's because they arent what im trying to find out about, telling me that i should want to hear about ls1's isnt going to get anywhere.

fact- ls1's rock, but we all know, a converter gears and cam, you have an 11 sec ls1

i wanted to know what people have done with small block chevy powered vehicles.

How about a 302 Chevy...in the 11's? That should impress him....

There is one in my garage, but it isn't quite finished and hasn't run that number...but in a few weeks or so....

People can spit out 10 and 11 second combos for NA SBC's all day. Most of these combos are NOT streetable. If you want a ton of streetable power, get a 383. There was a guy with a c4 vette with a 383 with dart 2 heads, an LPE 219 cam, super ram, headers and exhaust, and surprisingly low compression (~9.8). He was making roughly 450 hp. This car also passes CA smog and gets good gas mileage. Because of all that torque (500+), he's got himself running well into the 11's. With more compression, some port work, and maybe some better, more matched parts, there's a ton of power left in that motor.

Car: 2015 Camaro Z/28 & 2013 Super Bee
Engine: LS7 and 392 HEMI
I wouldn't say mine is anywhere near the fastest, but it's quick and drives VERY close to stock, which makes it a great daily driver/street car. All my runs were made in full street trim and my street tires (BFG DR's). I'm shooting for 11.9's N/A when it's tuned and then adding a 150 shot.

An mini-ram or LT1 intake with a Comp Cam 306 or similar grind in a 350 should get you into the 11's pretty easy and still be a streetable car, too.

Read the legend. 360 NA cars in the 9s. I'm sure there are a ton more out there, but I'm not searching all day.

Remember, because you typed "streetable", it's left open to interpretation.
