we can do it, your going to want to buy a race block for sure, what type of budget are you on?

How about a 331 w/ 8.5:1 compression? You should make screamin' power with this setup.

I'M NOT ON TO MUCH OF A BUDGET, WHAT WOULD BE THE PRICE RANGE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THT, RACE BLOCK, OR A 331.<P><P>
WHAT IM TRYING 2 DO IS MAKE MY CAR FASTER THAN MY CAMARO, MY 2000 SS RUNS 11.9 CONSECUTIVE ON ALL MOTOR.. BUT I AM A FORD MAN & I'M READY TO GET BACK TO MY ROOTS.. I WOULD LIKE A LOW 11.SEC CAR. IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH THE COMPONENTS THT I CURRENTLY HAVE..

To be quite frank, I seriously think that to go 11's you definately need a better intake.... I.E. Performer 2/ Trickflow Track Heat/ Holley Systemax- And also you need to step it up on the heads, AFR 185's if not 205's depending on the power you would be producing, also look into those Anderson SC cams for use under boost, theese cams kicks azz.... Just my 0.02 CENTS- TTT [patriot]

THANKS FOR THE INPUT. I DO ALSO HAVE AN EDELBROCK E.F.I. INTAKE... BUT EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING THT THE GT40 IS BETTER..
MAN YOU DNT THINK I WILL GET IN THE 11"S WITH THE CHARGER & LIKE A 331. & WHT IS THE DIF. BETWEEN THE HEADS I KNOW HTE PRICE DIF WAS LESS THAN $100.

dont listen to the above guy [Roll Eyes] , people have gone 10's with much less, on a stock shortblock no less

the p600 is kind of a lame blower, but it will work as long as the oil seals dont blow (very common)

which edelbrock intake is it [Confused]

yeah we went 10.86 with afr 165's NA.. Although you will be leaving power on the table with that setup.

If your not on much of a budget, sell all the stuff you have and slap a turbo kit on it, I am almost positive I'll be running 11's, hopefully 10's with my turbo kit, as long as I can get traction.

I'd say you could get into the 11's simply by changing your suspension/tires to something more drag orientated. You don't need that much hp to go 11's in the quarter mile. If you want to attain a certain mph at the end of the runs...well that is a different story and more hp/tq is needed.
