88 Gta Stroked And Blown

Hey boys and girls. I have an idea for my car and i want some feedback from anyone who may have expirience with this. I want to put my gta into the low 11s possibly the high 10s. I want to still use a small block v8 with fuel injection. I plan on doing this with the help of a supercharger. I want people to start respecting these cars and not looking at them as over bloated pigs. I want to instill fear in the harts of ricers everywhere. Imagine the look on the little weiners face when I offload with 600 plus horsepower into a wheelstand leaving the line. Just to get that reaction once, i will sink everything ive got into this car. I feel that strongly about this project. It will be a purpose built car. It will be designed to go fast and strainght!

My questions are as follows. With a blown 383 what type of fuel system and computer upgrades should i expect to need. I will handle the shortblock assembly but i havent the foggiest on what i will need in the way of fuel to support that power level. With a carb it wouldnt be so bad......been there done that. EFI now thats another story. Please advise. I will post pictures once i begin. Thanks all. Take care

You don't need a blower to do it. Just a carefully planed out
design. Start from the rear and work forward. Power means
nothing if you can't get it to the ground. I have seen 600HP
turn 13's until the rear of the car was properly set up then it
drop into the 10's on the same tires. Start with getting the
rear axle set up properly and add a set of decent gears. Have
a turbo 400 built with as much stall as you can afford. Build your
383 with a heafty cam and an LT1 or similar intake and burn a
good prom for the combo and you will pull the front tires and
the ricers to go home quietly in shame.
