what would i need to do to my 350 short block to make enough power to launch my car into the 11sec range its is board .04 over and i will be putting a new top end on it any ideas thanks

Just need a combo that will make plenty of power to the ground(400ish RWHP) and the ability to launch the car. If money is no object, a set of AFR heads with a big cam and a stalled automatic with good gears, just research others combos and see what you like.

traction is no issue as i run 12 inch wide slicks lol and gears are 4.56 and i was thinking a stall about 4000 about 305 duration on cam and i was gonna have a performace shop port heads and match intake to it they said with a 12.1 ratio i could make about 550 HP at flywheel idk how to figure out how much goes to the rwhp

dont waste your time and money on a stock set of sbc heads.

i never said stock heads im talking about afr or brodix and on top of already being machined im gonna have more done

afr 195's out of the box with a decent cam should get you real close

heads that flow 295ish or better
23x/24x duration roller cam
11.0+ compression
single plane intake

can make around 425rwhp thru a th400/9" with slicks on a 350.

so would a turbo 350 make the RWHP less?

th350 would suck less power

if i build one right would a turbo 350 handle about 500 to 550 HP from the flywheel cuz i no my S60 rear end will take it

it can, but doing a th400 would be cheaper, and take a ton more hp

just go ahead and do a 400. most likely wont notice a difference at the track.

you put that big ol bugger in there but want to skimp on the trans?

lol i didnt wanna put a 9inch in it so the strange 60 seemed best choice to make and i can put a T400 in it like i said im getting ideas for the winter thats why im working with a motor shop to figure out how to get 550 Horsepower out of my sbc which is board to make it a 357 any ideas on that one?

I did it with a comp cams 294 solid lifter cam, victor jr intake, Demon 750 carb (which flows about the same as a Holley 825), AFR 195 heads, 10.5:1 compression, 1 3/4 headers with dual 3 inch exhaust, TH400 trans with a 4,000 stall, lower control arm relocation brackets, 4.56 gears and 28x9 slicks. Car weighs 3535 lbs going down the track.

I'm running 11.7et with a stock early LT1 shortblock. 10.5:1comp. Dart Pro1 215cc heads & Lunati 60131 roller cam.

what is the advantage of lower control arm relocation brackets?

Traction. Keeps the back end of the car from squatting, keeping the tires planted to the pavement.

does anyone have pics of this or can you buy a kit?

Available from Spohn and UMI for sure, and BMR, I think.

Here are mine! which I did my self and they are bolt on!

does anyone know if me using lift bars on the back and moroso trick springs up front would help my et's

i wouldn't use lift bars, get the relocation brackets, good lca's and a torque arm, trick springs are ok, my v6 ones work pretty well

i already have a bmi adjustable torque are and was doing some research on tubular lca that are offset in so it gives you more tire clearance and does anyone else have a N/A sbc thats a 357 that powers there car to a low to mid 11 any ideas will help!!
