When I still had my 305 TPI, I had the Edelbrock base and runners, headers and cat-back exhaust and a few other little bolt-on's like K&N's, underdrive pulleys and 300+ ignition and my best 1/4 mile time was 13.19 @ 104.4 MPH!! That was with a 100 shot of NOS though.

not to change the topic....i think last month CHP did a nitrous test to find out how much a stock bottom end could take...
they bought a 350 from a junk yard got it runing and got 318 horse i think i cant remember the exact number...but they got it up to 600 horse before the rim of a piston broke bashed a couple spark plugs
the crank and rods lived lol....with good pistons who know what it could of taken
my best completly stock time was a 14.8@93.7
i got my launch better and got that to a 14.5@94.1
after flowmaster, k&n, egr walls ground down and a fuel pressure adjustment
i get 14.2-3@96 with a 1.998 60

86irocL98, to be honest I dont really remember which mod felt the best, the nitrous was a big one though
. I do remember putting the Edelbrock base and runners on and it felt a tad slower, to me anyways. I ran the nitrous for about a year without problems. Then I moved to Germany and couldent find nitrous refills anymore, thats when I found my L98.

It was a cold day so taking correction factor into account:
229 RWHP 297 RWTQ
Engine's got MSD ignition stuff, headers, dual exhaust and 110,000 miles. No real times yet, just G-tech and laptop scan data. Beat a modded 87 Vette on the highway yesterday though.

see sig
305 TPI also ran 14.6 @ 96 mph, with only bolt ons and ran 13.7 @ 103 with a ~75 shot of N2O on top of the time listed in the sig. Held up to more than 2 bottles (~20 runs). Engine didn't fail due to nitrous.
The worst thing is that I think my LO3 TBI engine is going to out preform the TPI.
