I wasn't even thinking about "race" cars when I started typing, just assumed this convo would disregard that and kind of stick to "street" cars.
Ya, i actually am not a huge fan of stuff like that. Like the TV show PINKS ALL OUT i get more excited watching the 11sec cars then the 9 sec cars they alwyas do simple because I know the 11sec cars are "real" cars not some tubbed out 12 point rollcage care with just the gutted body of the original car.

As for my other car, I am hoping to get it into the 11s. Not bad for a Bonneville.
how many buttons of potential do LS1's have. Is it like a three button collar or a full button up?

So basically, are you asking what it would take to run in the 10s? or if it is possible for our cars to run 10s?

ls1, 6spd

i mean on the stock block i could go deep in the tens with low comp. pistons, heads, cam, and a power adder

or i could swap out for a new bigger displacement block, build it for boost and make 800+whp on moderate boost in street trim


actually, now that you mention it i could go a lot of ways with an fbod. obviously none will be the best but its a competitor in any class (drag, drift, auto x, road race, top speed)
