Does this seem reasonable

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...1%7C240%3A1318


Looking at this car on ebay, and it looks like just minor bolts on to a ls2 with 3.42 gears. Is it possible it could go 10.6's NA with a 1.43 60 foot. I knew these were good motors but damn!
what do you guys think

You can get 550hp out of those motors with those parts pretty much no problem. Would be a lot better motor combo in a third gen...

Re: Does this seem reasonable

See sig, my car isn't lightened up like that one. The time in my sig is only my 7th pass with this combination in less than ideal weather. I'm going to let it rip in negative DA on the 14th of next month.

I'm expecting 10.70's at the least, if not 60's. These cars really like the cold weather.
