haha yeah I love how people say how much power they are making at the wheels. When people ask me I just say I'm lucky to be making 300hp at the crank, but I honestly do not know...its enough for me.
And lifting the tire up halfway down the track.....get serious.

I honestly doubt it has anything to do with power. Probably just twisting issues. Im not lieing. I have no reason to lie to any of as I have no reason to impress any of. The front of these cars are very light.
What kind of car do you have?
I told them exactly what I told you all. Its not hard at all to get 330 horse out of a damn 355. Geeze. Exspecially out of a Lt1.
Also this cars only got a 3.23 rear end. Thats what the 4 speeds came with. We just put this gear in a couple years ago. But then again I think my dad may of mest up hen he redid the rear end because this car runs at about 2300 RPMS at 50 MPH. Or is that normal for these cars?
The jr is what my 8 year old drives. the camaro is mine. It ran an 11.28 and only pulled the wheels a few inches for a split second. the front end may feel light going down the track but is not lifting.
As far as getting 12.1 by just milling your heads, it won't happen. You would need to add domed pistons. You could run pump gas with 12.1 but you would need to retard your timing to prevent spark knock. I would suggest buying a set of sportsman II's or soemthing. they flow better stock than most gm factory heads that have been worked on. And they are relatively cheap. Ypu can run vortec heads but you have to bu a different intake manifold due to the fact that the vortec heads only have 4 intake bolts per side opposed to the normal 6 per side. Put a 3.73 or 4.10 gear in the car and you will really see a differnce in power.

Thanks for that. So your saying sportsman II heads will work on the edlebrock intake I have on the car now?
And I was thinking of changeing the gear but the car is already at 2300 RPMS at 50mph in fourth gear!! I drive this car on the street alot.
WOW what the fuck. I SAID the car twist and the wheel comes of the ground. Its because the frames not tied. Go back and read my damn post about the wheel lifting. I was anwsering a question on the car twisting. GEEZE.
And xjjames. Please, please, please just shut your stupid ass mouth. You just looked like a stupid E-thug.
I am! Either way I call BS. My 93 cobra built to shit, prolly between 480 and 525hp, very light front end would not lift the front with street tires. So I say your hoopty is (if its really yours) MAYBE a 14sec slug. I bet there are people on this site who could out run you with a mt. bike. Time slip / dyno sheet or you are full of lies.
no fucking way your car halfway down the track is pulling the tire off the ground, bull shit, my truck is a sub frame with no ties in it bitch twist out of the hole but settles down, down track

Well damn, I dont know. MAybe something else is wrong with the car. All I know is we have it on tape cause, my uncle is recording and he zooms in and its deffinitly not touching.
If there was another one of me out there, I would send everyone on this site that wants to whoop my ass to his address:sonicjay:
