my first blown engine....

Ok here the low down. In 2 weeks my car comes back. A new 383 w/ a small root style blower. It will still be pumping out 100 or more HP. Custom 3 inch exhaust all the way back. Edelebrock Headers, 3.73's, 2,800 stall TC and a turbo 400 trans. I am going to swap out the Headers for some supercomps. Also for about 3 weeks it will be run on stock suspension plus a cage and subframes. Also on stock Irock rims. What times and HP should I be looking at. I am hoping for about 450 RWHP and somehwere near high 11's low 12's. This winter I am finishing the project with Heads and Cam and 12 bolt rear. Is there anything else I can do to help the preformance?

Well, besides the fact that youll soon forget the meaning of the word traction, Im sure you can hit your goals. I would say mid 12 just for the fact that your not gonna have ANY traction off the line.

that is what I was also thinking. I don't want to put M/T's on there till I get a better rearend. Then I'll look for some 11's
