I'm curious about your setup. What exhaust do you use? What are your cam specs? Who made it? How much torque did it make and what where did the motor make it's peak #'s at? Did you degree the cam in? What intake centerline? I'm building a 306 right now and am shooting for big #'s. Trying to see how they compare.

I like your tall slicks.

I hate your gear 3.55s.

I say ditch the T-5 and go with a C-4 or AOD with a brake and 4.10s.

Car should go tens.

Low 10's is possible, but not probable. If and when you do get it to run low 10's, you'll have a 9 second car on your hands if it was an automatic. The race seats should take off a nice 60lbs.

Greg Castro ran 10s with less motor, but a lighter car.

Not too much less of a motor.... 310rwhp or so? 'ligher car' is a gross understatement

Barely hit 10's and did it only once. What was cool was that he would beat guys on the street that were faster than him. Not me of course...I kick his ass hella hard.

What do you mean by ultralight rods. Allum??? I am going to be doing a stock rod forged piston 306 with the Holley systemax topend and a 200 shot. Shold I expect these numbers or close? Or are the AFRs a lot better then the Holleys? By the way my car weighs 3500lbs without driver, is that normal for a auto T top car?

Ultra lights are a rod that are strong as and even stronger, in some cases, than H beam rods yet are lighter.

AFR 185s on a 10.5 to one custom cam 306 made 425 flywheel horsepower with a victor jr intake and 750 with 1 3/4 headers on dyno.

I say AFR 185s are a better all around head than the Holley heads, but what do I know?

You can do a lot better than the holley systamax top end kit! The intake is nice, but thats about it. The cam isn't too good and the quality of the heads have beeen known to be lacking. Simply put, yes I would say the AFR's are a lot better than the holley's.

You think those SRP pistons will take a 250 shot for long??? I hope so cause that's what's in my motor that's being built now and my engine builder said he wouldn't be comfortable hitting them with more than a 200 shot. And yeah Greg Castro's car being light is a gross understatement. If you want a "Greg Casto Superlight" stang just strip everything but the suspension, frame, and engine/drivetrain to include both seats, side windows, door handles, console, dash, gauges and be sure to vacuum all dust and dirt from car. Then sit on milk crate and attach yourself to it with lightweight rope. You should have removed steering wheel so you'll have to steer with vice grips attached to steering wheel bolt. And wear glove on right hand so shifter threads will not tear up your hand cause we all know how much that shifter ball weighs

I couldn't believe how much he took out of that car... Thing ran though. What's up with that car now? What ever became of it and why did it only run 10's once?????

Not gonna happen on those 275 Drag Radials Dan!!! Maybe on some 28x10 ET Drags.. I don't even think ET Streets could elicit a 1.4.... Maybe on a stang but not on my car. ET Drags got me a 1.58 but best I could get with ET Streets was 1.70....

I'd say a low 11 on the bottle with drag radials, that is IF your axles don't snap first!
