Ok, it's this simple dickhead. Take a 350, leave it a 350. Put 9.5:1 Compression pistons in it, Buy Edelbrock Aluminum RPM Heads($1200) RPM Airgap Manifold($206) RPM Cam and lifter Kit ($190) 650 AVS Thunder Series Carb ($336) And you have guarnteed 420 HP out of the box if you bolt these items on to your block, and use the stock 700-R4 Tranny radiator/distributor/ etc.. etc .. Put on like an 1800 RPM Stall with a small hop of nitrous, lower your timing about two degrees from stock, put 4.11's in the back, then tell me what you run in the eighth in an IROC asshole ... In a $3000 500 HP 350.

Ummmm. Are you getting these horsepower numbers off a dyno pull or just pulling them out of the air??? They seem to be a bit on the generous side.

Quit calling Yourself names. You may be one,but we dont want to hear about it.

As a matter of fact ,if you cant straighten up your act,we can remove You before You even get started good in this club.

Ok, it's this simple D H

Its not that simple either. I recently sold a 71 Vega,Jegs chassis, fiberglass from end and hatch ,2250 lbs, balanced and blueprinted 350 with a glide,5500 stahl, 12bolt with 536gear,crank trigger, 850 holley.

The last time out at Super Chevy we ran 680, 683,681, back to back with no electronics 102 mph in the 1/8mile.You'd be too far back to even see the taillights.

As someone has already told you, Get real! We dont buy that BS.

Its a shame, With the proper additude You could proberly learn a lot here But,

At 16 You seem to know everything already!

Wish I were that smart.

irocs -are heavy,real heavy,plus weak axles twist ,then theres the tires,what 10 inch?a 1800 stall,wow?its ok to dream,,,,eld heads don't flow enough
and 9 to 1 comp pistons?like some bros
are trying to tell you,its not possible,guys
on the street who have ob never been to
a drag strip and ob never tried to hook a car at the strip like to throw around numbers,i know you have a cage because
i don't know of too many strips in the country let you run 6's without a cage,certified etc,you put your foot in your mouth son,then tried to flame everyone
because you got busted,see, you can talk trash to those hs kids,etc,and thats ok too,but in reality that iroc won't see 6/7/8
naturally aspirated,i race everyweek,i know,3000 dollars might buy you some decent heads,roller cam set up ,and maybe some rods ,i forgot to mention the tranny blanket,catch cans,shield,
after market axles,sticky tires,,on and on,,plus i am sure you have good rods/bolts cuz even with a 150 shot of nos on hyper pistons,they won't last,i am not going to argue,believe and think like you may but i leave you with this'"it is better in life to let people'think' you are the village idiot then to open your mouth and remove all doubt!take care.......

Must be the "good air" down there on the Gulf. Car like that here in the midwest would be a good competitive 8.0 1/8th mile bracket car...... 8 is close to 6 on the keyboard....if you wanna say it was a typo, I'll swear to it.........

Oh yeah, hope you are enrolled in vocabulary class next year in school, it could certainly use some improvement......

What T-inspector says is right, get a big block Chev....454 or bigger. In mild tune it will have tons of low end for the street. The earth's rotation is done using just two Chevy engines (if you didnt know)

I thought it was done with ONE BBF

Ok guys, I'm the guys brother that's been telling you all this stuff. I'm 16, he's 14. He just found this thread and started writing in it. Sorry about that. I read some stuff on here and I thought it was cool. But anyway, my name is Joe ... Looks like I'm the new member here But the IROC he's been talkin about is mine, and It did pull a 7.8 one time at the track here on slicks. My buddy took my car to his shop to prep it for paint, but his dad hooked up my 75 shot of nitrous (An ignored project), and messed with my timing (The man's a genius ... lol) Now when he drives it at the track, it usually will run consistent 8.2's with the nitrous. With a built 350. Lol, I can't get it to do anything, and I will not post my emberassing time on here ... Lol, It's got a little more than $3,000 put into it. Probably around $6,000. (I've worked with my dad since I was 13 mowin grass and when I turned 16 last November I had around $8,000, & I have alot of the money invested into the rotating assembly & rear-end too. I'll post what kinda rods, pistons, crank, and rear I have in here later. I'll give my drivetrain specifications, everything, that's just alot to list and I've already typed more then I want too. But It does have everything he said as far as the Edelbrock heads, & manifold. Except the heads have a port job on them, and the manifold is slick as hell, & about as thin as paper lol (Not literally, but you know.) That, and I have a 750 Speed Demon on top of it, with an Isky Hydraulic roller cam. The drivetrain works pretty nice, and the carb believe it or not, works just fine with the setup. I thought it was a bit much, but it was free. Other then that, I have subframe connectors, traction bars, and the car is completely gutted. I got one seat in it, & I have a little piece of rectangular sheet metal with all my guages tacked in there, and my tachometer hangs on the bottom of it. Maybe this will be a little more realistic for you guys

Now if you guys want some real bs ... bs, but very true bs. My dad has a 1978 Gremlin with a 326 chevy in it with a two barrell, no nitrous, or supercharger, and runs consistent 4.9's in the 8th ... I know that counts for something? lol, I have no clue what kinda' setup he has. I know he's not running pump gas ... but yeah ...

You were doing good for a while. As a matter of fact,I really enjoyed You last post.
You had me all the way up to the 4.9s. Are You sure You didn't put Your brother back on line.
4 passes in the 9's sounds a lot more realistic.
I thought since the 326 was a typo, Maybe the 4.9 was as well.

Dont make us think Your little brother took after You.

Come on man, I had a rear engine dragster that ran 5.0's in the eigth. I could have "steppped on it" a bit and got maybe a 4.90 and your dad runs that in a gremlin with a 326??????? Hopefully that was just your little brother day dreaming again!!!!!


Top Comp in IHRA is for cars running 4.0 to 6.40's in the eighth. Top Comp is the baddest of the bad for door slammers, diggers, and alterds in IHRA. Will that 326 (Whatever that is) Gremlin REALLY run with the big dogs????????

Dave, maybe they're confusing 1/8th mile time with 60 ft. time.

Gee Tech, you're right. I guess a 4.90 60 foot time would be good for a 326 gremlin. I'll bet it's his daily driver and gets 37 MPG, too !!!!
