Ever hear of Bandimere Raceway?? Racing here tends to have me answering that question often. Dyno is corrected and track times are actual.
I race 5800 feet above sea level. The day I was at the track was a 8200+ Density Altitude. That eats a good second (sometimes more) off a naturally aspirated cars time.
Plus I couldn't drive it very well with the stock clutch. Slipped pretty bad off the line and into second. That will be taken care of with the new clutch going in with the stroker.
12.8 at 113 MPH would be the time if I were to use NHRA adjusting charts. This is adjusting for altitude alone.

Supercharger would have been fine. Thing is I would have been peaking out the stock bottom end. Wouldn't have been able to throw much more at it without breaking it.
This is a good foundation for the future. I do eventually plan on boosting it someday. But since that is probably a decent amount of time away, I went with 11:1 compression for now. The pistons are great for boost, but I went fairly small on the combustion chambers on the heads to up the compression.

bradiscool....I am in the northern half of the metro area, so I will probably be at DynoPro for the dyno time.
What cam is going in if you don't mind?

Total into the engine with everything being done is over $10,000. Not sure exactly where....too scared to actually total it up. I think it was right at $10K until I added some suspension and the Fast intake set-up.

Thanks for the compliments!!!!!

Question:

What tuning software are you using, and what did you do for your 'stock' tune?

Mr. Luos.

I live out by DIA didn't know there was another dyno in town(but MAC has all my old logs so I will prolly keep going there). I am going with the HPE S-cam(238/242, .608/612 on a 115 LSA) not quit as big as yours but for stock cubes I think and have heard that the cam works very very well.

There are a couple guys building 408 iron blocks for the GTO's I have a close close eye on them and their results.

are you going to tune the car yourself? or have it done. .and if you are having it done who is doing it? I have HP tuners but kind of scared to play with too many settings..

Using HPTuners.
Stock tune is what came with the car. Didn't change anything. I only recently got my hands on HPTuners.

I do plan on learning how to tune. But in the meantime I will have help from some of the local F-Body guys. The first tune will suck...but it will get the motor broke-in safely.


That is a pretty big cam for the stock cubes. .612" lift....does that clear the stock pistons?
