which heads do you have? my heads are pretty decent but i have a mild cam..

410 is sick, thats like race car heads for a Mustang...

an 8 lower with a 3 upper will make a huge smile on your face... should be around 18-20 psi Id think. I was making about 27 psi with that setup on my 408 about 10 years ago.

Prochargers have a bigger stepup so a 4.0" PC pulley is like a 3.0" vortech. Your heads are almost the same as mine. Street car stuff

I'd be up for that. I'd like to see how my n/a minimal bolt on 5.0 compares to other n/a Vettes.

Yeah - I didn't read all of the thread before I responded. ha ha. I just run on street tires and probably couldn't but a 12 flat with my traction limited self. But with proper traction, my car has an 11.4 in it, maybe an 11.3. It'd be fun to run other cars with similar capabilities.

Vette went 11.1@129 when it made 1/2 the power it does now the one pass before it broke at axle. That was at 4500ft and 8k+ DA. Should be a bit quicker now.

Without juice/boost, that MPH is only a pipe dream for me. I might could hit 121, give or take a mph.

Juice it. Local 5.0 runs bottom 10s up here with headers/intake/tune/gears and a 175 shot.

I had a NX wet kit back in the day on my 2000 GT. It was fun. I remember when I first got it, I'd spray anything that moved...Honda Civic with a fart can or what ever This car is really just a fun n/a daily driver. It's faster than 98% of cars out there and there will always be someone with "more". But it is tempting...

there is only ONE problem with nitrous...

my car made 490 rwhp NA.. and 650 on bottle.. after the first few times i ran on bottle, i did a few NA pulls and i thought i broke the car because it felt slow as balls lol. I was seriously mad that the FIRST time i used my nitrous i broke it..

Threw it on the dyno and just as always put down 492 rwhp.. it's like a drug and when you are OFF the bottle your shit feels broken...

I thought your car felt really strong NA even with both of us fatties in it. I never got to ride in it again on the bottle, but I bet it was insane. I need a ride with the new set up!

Okay, I'll take that as a NO.
