Default RE: How fast can you go??

Stock blocks can take their fair share of mods. Running mid-10s isn't as easy as some people make it sound. You click off some 10.50s in a street car and you're definately doing something right. I have some fairly well experienced friends (which sounds kind of dumb when I just said they are all still playing around with stock shortblocks).
Another thing people over look is how difficult sometimes it is to drive a mid-low 10 car. I found this out with my dads 67 pro street camaro, when we first got it running it had went from a low 13 sec. 327 car to a low 10sec N/A, high 9sec on bottle, 434 big block on nitrous and thats on a 10.5 tire. That will scare the **** out of you when your headed down the strip at WOT at probably 120+mph and the back end fishtails some....lol

Not to mention knowing if that car comes back from the run in any different condition than it started the run....your going to get a boot in your *** from the old man....

There's a guy in my town w/ a bad *** 4-eyed beast...he runs constant 10.0X's Stock block (306) and Ford Prod. Heads w/ a 150 hp shot of nitrous... He's actually havin a little 'competition' w/ one of his buddies who has a 351 and runs 9.9X's....he said once he beats his friend....he's throwin this motor out and buidlin up a 351 to run low 9's-high 8s...He does all his own work and he's only in his early 20's..he's a damn genius...lol
