A stroker motor with good heads and a custom cam should put you into the 11s. If it doesn't the car itself needs more attention.

Don't build your combo off the fact you already have a BBK SSI intake. Cut your losses early.

im not building my motor around my bbk manifold cause i have it. i bought the manifold cause i like the way it looks. i no im never gonna have the fastest street car around so i went with a look that i liked. And the whole purpose of me building a high compression motor is so i dont have to use a power adder like a supercharger or nitrous. I just want a quick reliable car

I'm going to do a 331 and use my SC. My buddy works at an engine shop and is talking about AFR 185 among other things.

Stroker engine will love that BBK intake.

331 is good engine, 347 little more cubes but at the cost of little more stress on everything.

run you a nice 331 w/ 10:1 compression, but remember to get a stroker cam.
Compcams makes the XFI stroker cam, just for these set-ups, make sure get that or custom cam.

regular 302 cam will screw with your compression ratio due to shorter duration.

Right now i am runing the b cam . it runs and sounds good but i no a custom cam will work better. not that gas is a big deal but i am currently getting 21 miles per gallon and i was just wondering if anyone knew what kills the gas mileage. my friend has a 331 low compression and get about 12 mpg.
