High 11s - What engine?
At this point I'm not concerned about details of intake, exhaust, fuel or tranny.. I'll make those things good enough to support the goal.
So considering a daily driver, 93 octane, 4.10s & ET streets w/4-5k launches.... Is it possible to have a full weight 89GT go high 11s on a NA 306? For example maybe a DSS short block and AFR 165 renegade heads (custom cam suited for smoothness at 1700rpms / daily driving)? If not.. what ETs will a daily driver 306 NA engine be capable of? A 331? A 347? Thanks |

What he said. Bigger is always better. But a well built 302 will hit 11s no problem if you bolt on the right parts..

Thanks, excellent threads! I'm only 1/2 way through them but am learning. Thus far sounds like a A5 would suit me well.

My 369 (4.155 bore by 3.4 stroke) dynoed at 425 rwhp, and has run 11.6 at 121, with a mild street cam, 223/227 duration at .050, and AFR 185 comp heads. The T-5 transmission behind it is not doing so well...

Yeah I've read that. Doesn't bother me. I almost always have the windows down and ear plugs in. I don't even bother with the radio. And, the new rear control arms amplify the rear gear whine.
:icon_steer: |
I had a buddy who ran 11.90s at full weight (other than wheels and tires) on the stock bottom end. So yes, it's possible. But it's all about traction. That's where www.uprproducts.com comes in.

I'd go with a 347 and a bigger head than a 165 however, something like a 185 minimum.
I also can tell that there are a lot of places besides D.S.S. that can do the machine work and build them. BTW, why can't you put it togather yourself? |
