10's possible on with an S-Trim?

See my sig for mods. I know I am in the 11's with traction but....

I don't know If I need to upgrade to a T-trim or not. I am also adding an intercooler and water injection.

we made over 520 RWHP and 520 RWTQ with a s-trim on a .030 over 327. I think that would be enough to make 10's on the proper weight car. to bad it is on a road race car now.

i'm pretty sure there is a 4th gen that is spinning a S-trim to the max and running 10.dohs, i could be wrong and it could be a t-trim though. not sure

Thanks guys. That about as fast as I want for a street car. I'll keep it then.

Try looking at my MPH. That is high 11's dude.

By the way that was through stock dual cats, 6rib SC belt slipping to 10lbs, 1.5 rockers, stock suspension, with POS Superchips "I think this is right" Prom (burning my own chips now)and it is NYS emissions legal. Also I didn't want to launch it with slicks an grenade the stock drivetrain, right after I got my motor done.

Wait till you get your blower. Lets see how you will do tying to leave the line with that T-5.

I only am looking for high 10's and I feel I'm not that far. Relax

I wasn't bashing, I'm impressed.

Your running the same drivetrain as me. I'm looking for 11's right now. I grenaded my clutch a few weeks ago halfway down the track. Ended up going 110mph through the traps. Not bad for someoen who put it into neutral and rolled through the traps..

I'd like to hear more on your progress..
