ok...so here is the thing. Im tired of all them on gagt bitching about the FI bs and all that. So i want to run 12s with all engine and alot of juice. If i break this engine(3400) then i guess ill build a 3500 and see what i can do with it. So far i think i have enough gear and enough stall...3.91 gears, LSD, and a 2500 stall. I also now have some DRs and they are on shorter rims, which will also effectively increase my overall gear ratio somewhere into the 4.000 range or somewhere close. Ill have a fairly high comp 3400 so far with running 10:1, and all teh ported goodies. Ill also have a TCE 65mm tb, headers, an exh cutout that i can use, full catback, as well as a balanced crank, a good cam, severe duty head gaskets(to take the abuse) and enough dyno time as i need for free. ill tune for 91 octane as well as lower octane for driving(87) then maybe a tune for race fuel. Ill also have one for nitrous. That is going to be the fun one. Im prob just going to run a fogger kit, because itll be the least amount of hassle and be easiest to tune with and change jets on.
Is there any input that you might suggest in my quest besides go turbod...i dont wanna hear that. I dont care if its a 12.999, i just want 12s. I may build another engine and make it a higher comp, but ill decide later whether its a 3400 or 3500...maybe even a 3900. The trans is not a problem, so dont worry about that one. Im prob going to try some weight reduction with just some simple stuff, and take the side mirrors off, pass seat swap for driver, then take the back seat out of the back(bottom only) and the spare tire and jack. THats about it. I dont want anyone complaining that its not an actual DD. Ill drive it to the track and away from the track also. Im looking at a 7k redline. I may need to get a bigger cam, ill decide later on that one. The lift is good at .528 valve lift, but i may need some bigger duration. mine is a 206/208...i may need something in the 214/220 maybe? i really dont care for driveability for this feat, so i can go larger on the cam if i need to. Then of course itll be larger injectors, i have those on lock also and a harness adapter. Either the trailblazer injectors or the L67 ones with the adapter plates off TCE. A wideband is also in the mix. so any input? im staying stock rods but they were shot peened. Anyone can search for my build threads, but i have gone pretty far with this engine. I may look at getting a spare block and putting the oil squirters on it.
so do you think 12s are possible without boost, just with juice
