i have a bet going with a buddy of mine that my car can run 11's. he says that NO n/a 350 with 4.11s or less can run 11s in a full weight car, being 3200 ish lbs. he just doesnt believe. show me what you got. lets prove him wrong here guys, he drives a BUICK.


adam

 

i dont know where u live but my cousin has a done up 340 in his 74' duster and he hasnt seen what he can run but he got up to 95 miles per hour in a block and a half!!!!!!!!:hail:

 

i was kind of actually referring to chevys but it was my bad. thanks for the input though. come on guys, i need combos and websites SOME ONE HAS TO RUN THIS FAST.

adam

 

sure you can, it's going to take a lot of work doing it N/A but yeah its definately possilbe

 

i know its possible, im just trying to find someone who has done it, to win a bet. i cant find anyone to speak of who has a
pump gas
full weight
less that 360 ci
4.11 or taller geared car that runs 11s n/a

like i said, i know its possible, but im looking for websites and verified cars that do it.

adam

 

Power to weight has nothing to do with CID.

Estimating an average race weight of 3500 pounds for a street car, you need to be putting at least 400 HP to the rear wheels to run 11.99. 3200 pounds needs over 360 HP. The lighter the car, the less HP is required. Trying to achive that much HP with small engines is possible but not easy with pump gas.

 

I can think of two people that fit your criteria.

Look for Mike Davis on this site...

On the Corvette forum, look for a guy named 'Ralph'...he's also in the high 11s with a stock shortblock.

Now go take your buddies money.

 

my goal for this season is to take my NA 355 to an 11.99 or better, with a 4.10 gear, t-56 and bfg DR's. The local strip opens up feb 21st. so i'll let you know how it goes...

Its very possible to run those numbers. here is an example.

Car: '71 camaro, fuel injected 360ci small block, 350-500hp shot of nitrous, custom BRT 2000 hybrid manual three speed clutchless trans with air brake, converter, ladder bar suspension, GM 8.5-inch 10 bolt rearend.

Best E.T. and MPH: 8.35 at 162 MPH


Yeah, I'd say it is possible...

 

That's hardly "NA".

I'd say it's possible; what I wouldn't include in the possibilities is driving it to work every day.

Don't forget that 11.99->quicker requires a cage.

 

um I think I found some info.... heck most of these cars are even STOCK or very close to

so yeah can it be done.... again yeah

 

Has your friend ever heard of a LS1?

346 ci

There are literaly hundreds of people running 11's N/A with a 3300lb+ raceweight and 3.23 gears.

All it takes is a few grand for some ported heads and a cam and traction.

-Doug

 

There was a 91 Z28 in an old issue of GMHTP that ran 11.40 @ 116 with a superram, trick flow heads, CC306 cam, 3500 stall and 3.73 or 4.10 gears with a 355.

Your friend is smoking something.:lala:

 

have u checked out the super stock group in nhra.theres a guy with an old 60`s mustang with a 302(or 289).running in the tens.no poweradder stock heads,stock compression,there is no rule for the cam,stock intake stock carb.

My buddies ta runs 11.80s with a na 355, his car is awesome, its making 580hp, with a super t10 4spd and he drives it a lot of places, I have never seen his temp go over 180...I can try to get some pics if any1 wants to see it

 

...this is in 1982...
1960 Corvette, complete and street legal. street driven,3360 # with driver, 283 chevy, 30-30 Duntov cam (read semi mild),
1 4 bbl., chevy iron heads, pump gas..
...avg. when completely sorted 116+ mph / 12.30's thru street exhaust 2 X 2 1/2 " mufflers and on street tires, that's E60 belted,
no "soft" compound. Best 117.20 / 12.19
Car run at Fremont, CA. Attribute this to tireless hours of dye grinding, testing, failing , more work, success, lots more work, more improvement, ...over a 2 year period.
PS For doubters , I still have the car intact.
PPS A fellow ran a 3rd gen (looking) Camaro race car (glass etc. ) 283 motor, 151 MPH!! He was shifting @ 11.500 so pumping some air.

 

Evidently my first post regarding how my car ought to be in the 11's as soon as a few issues are straightened out was deleted, but I'll add this...

the NMRA F/S guys are running 11's with a max. 310 cubic inches, and stock cams at 3200+ lbs.

 

Traxion is very close to 11s N/A with a 355 motor.

See:

http://www.mycar.net/mafb/registry/detail.cfm?id=101

 

Al Corda runs I think E/SA in a new Formula his best run is 10.20s

 

hey look at GMHTP'S project firebird. its got a n/a 396 with a FAST system and it still cant do 11's yet. its possibel but its gonna take alot of money and chassis work and good driving.

 

Another person who is aggrivatingly close is David91RS/Z28. He is running an efi 355 to 12.0s and pulls over 114! On a stock T5 to boot, so there is alot of improvemt in the launch that is left on the table due to "not abusing" the T5.
Sure he hasn't gotten an 11 yet, but you do the math. Sure its possible.
