10 second street car
Title say's it all, I want to build my 90 LX to be a 10s daily driven street car. I'm wonder, keeping it "100% street legal", term used loosely lol i.e. no cats, can this be done? I'd like to do it all motor, but I don't know if I can so I thought about a supercharger. Will the fuel injection be a problem, because if I switch it to carb, them it wouldn't be street legal from a smog point right (in Cali)? Thanks for the tips and pointers as always.

RE: 10 second street car
you need to do a lil research on this before you look to much into it, because if you want to build a n/a 10sec car you will not be driving the car everyday. a s/c is a good idea for a dd 10sec car, but a turbo would be better.

RE: 10 second street car
i know somone who has a 10 sec all motor street car, and its no way a daily driver
a car like that has high a compression engine and a steady diet of race fuel only,
so i would also say go w/ a power adder to get there, it'll be way more street friendly

RE: 10 second street car
Thanks for all the info, I was pretty sure I couldn't do it all motor, but it's a nice thought lol. So a power adder it is, I'm gonna do a lot of research on this and in the mean time just stick with the basic upgrades till I find out what's best for me. Thanks again.

RE: 10 second street car
I know somebdy very well who runs a 351 in a 90 Stang that has 3 inch exhaust with no cats and an X pipe, carbureted and 91 pump gas and no power adder. This thing is driven extensively on the street to car shows and most are more than a 1 hour drive away and I have seen it run 10's at the track. The funny part of the whole thing is watching the car roll into the drag strip, get a tire swap from radials to ET Drags and see it run the numbers. Gets alot of attention from the super pro bracket racers. I have access topics, time slips and video of this car on the street and at the track.
