I tried searching the readers rides but did not find anything??? Who here is running 12s NA and no NOS........how much did it cost you?


Any 305s here like that.....?

 

I'm running in the 12's with my LT1. See sig for some info.

 

That sig just explains it all.

I know Willie is running 12s if not better on a 305 .

 

My camaro (355) was running consitant 13.1's @ 4900ft altuitude corrected it was running 12's. This season it would have been low 12's non corrected time if it wasent for an A-hole driver. It cost about 2k for the engine and components carb, ign system ect. Its fairy easy to build a 305 to run 12's it just not cost effective IMO.
The Firebird in my sig is expected to run mid/high 13's altitude corrected mid/high 12's and gets 18mpg city.

 

should have specified.......TPI...that is what i am and want to use......I am really thinking about SC. I am repost this over on the poweradder board and see what they com up. more NA setus would be great, that is what i would really want.

 

If you want to run 12's heres an idea,

Buy a LS1 car j/k

But seriously Ive seen projects that have gotten so expensive. Try more displacement...like a 400. If you stuff a built 400 into a thirdgen and arent running 12's you are either a moron, or have extreme traction issues.

Lol!!! to both things!

Weight and tranction are major issues for sppeds like that. Cubes are your friend! But a 355 will do the job. 400 hp (at the wheels) would make a stock bodied car go that fast.

If you ae funning a TPI set-ub with a Th-700 you will only do 12s with a Super Ram.

 

bull, ask 90Z28SS. he was running 13.1 on a basicaly stock motor with bolt ons. Im sure my car would have easily pulled down a 13.5 last year if my trans was working. heads and cam on my car set for TPI and putting it on a slight diet, im sure i could eaisly pull mid 12's on motor.

 

ewww autos.....i like stick, infact i drive one....lol yeah, it is stick or no car. I will upgrade from the T5
