Honestly, high 12s should be no problem, with traction. My old combo was similar to yours, except I had a TPIS ZZ-9 cam, and S/D, with a mail order prom, and stock #19 injectors. I went 13.00s@107. I believe I could have went high 12s, but I sold the engine, to a Vette guy, so I could build my new engine. You might even go faster too! Make sure those springs will handle that hot cam.

With a 383 its hard enough to do, but with a 350, youll really have to do your homework. Its been done, but not by many with a N/A EFI 350.

i hope you die travizzzz your combo isnt gonna run im gonna be over at your house tearin down your new motor cause you threw another rod bish

no i would be happy with a 12.8-12.7 at 109-110mph. with a 1.9 60ft, the best i could cut so far when motor was stock with my 6 speed was a 2.3 60ft, best run bone stock from the factory except the 6 speed swap was a

14.2 at 101mph with a 2.9 60ft

best with auto was 14.2 at 98mph with a 1.9 60ft

I dont think you'll get anywhere near 11s. The hotcam just isn't tough enough. I'd expect upper 12s with traction. Which seems to be hard for you

What gears are you running?

3.27 stock 9 bolt it would certainly help if i got decent tires and not the pep boys special rain tires. these tires are only good for wet traction..

I think with a good 60' you should be able to run mid 12's no problem..

I'm guessing 12.91@109

Get some tires, they're gonna make all the difference in the world.

What happened in the middle of the track? With that 60' and mph you should be in the mid 12 area...

Yes, I know. I never got my old 355 in the 12s. I pulled, and sold the engine so I can start my new one, before it happened.

I figure it was the crappy ASM prom that I wasted my money on. Also, I had some problems powershifting the Tremec TKO, I had at the time. No excuses though, I was still happy with it.

I figured it "might" have went 12.80s on a good day.

That's what I would expect too, but knowing Eric's car/performance so far, I say low 13's to start w/potential for better.

The Hot Cam isn't that bad really. Check out the MPH.

well that car also has 275ish cfm heads (from what I've seen regarding flowcharts on LE and CNC ported LT1s), 4.10s and a light chassis. Along with 1.7 RRs - porky is using 1.6s. Although I'm still a little surprised it went that high.

I do think his flow is around 270-ish. Not sure off the top of my head. Also, he wants 4.10's, he has 3.55's. Also, that time was with 1.6 rr.

12.50's at best if you can get it to hook, you can drive, and you put the right drivetrain combo together.

Well, my buddy had a slower '60 then you(1.8) and his mph was 105.xx and he went a 12.64....So, somewhere in the middle of the track your tune is not right..
