underdrive pullies and vortech? i thought you couldnt' use the crank pully with the vortech due to clearance issues.

what diameter is your crank pulley?
which s/c pulley do you run?

that combo should have you in the 12s easily

I'm not going with mid 10's being likely. I bet you can get it to trap over 120 though, which is easy mid 11 second territory with hook and the driveline to support it.

yeah ur lookin at about 400-425rwhp
ur lackin gear (3.55 vs 4.10)
the car is heavy
i think it will be a solid mid to high 11's car just because its heavy, plus u will have to add a roll bar to run the 11's frequently, thats more weight
i would really sudject some more gear and more boost if u want to get close to ur goal of 10's
and if u get there [worship]

90/10s and slicks...

prob is this is my daily driver and so I really dont wanna drive around a 4XX RWHP car with 4:10's (not very streetable with a 5 speed) and I already have 3:55's so 3:73's seem like a waste of money

thats the dilema, u didnt pick a very good platform to have a very streetable 10's ride
no i am not knocking ur car, saleen speedsters look awesome, are quick, and are just cool
but to have a 10's daily driver that is as heavy as ur car u will need tons of money

A slong as I can embarrass some ls1's I am gonna be happy... I am not seeing a prob doing that with this set up... I figure I will blow the motor... sell the aftermarket parts... and buy an 03 engine in about a year... or wait til 06 and get a shelby cobra [worship] [Whoo Whooooo!]
