What's the quickest anyones gone with bolt ons?? I mean springs are cool, but what's the fastest?? And what was the combo??
 
gnttype.org. there is a guy who went ten somthing w/ stock bottom end. do a search and his recapie is on there along w/ his journey and how it ended.
 
I was curious because my buddy has one running 11 teens right now and should be in the 10's by the end of the season...I would like to repeat what he has accoplished expectially since I did a lot of work on his car and I'm a idiot.
 
Tim Stockwell went pretty fast on a stock motor. When you get into the low 11's, you have to run so much boost that the odds of popping a head gasket are pretty high. That's why most people port the heads at this point.
 
I read Tim Stockwell's build up (thanks UNGN) and I noticed he also had a stock torque converter with the TA-61. His car ran awesome for the combo.
 
Ok let me ask a better question...What's the fastest iron headed, with a mild cam...I'm basically looking into just how far I can push it, ya know??
 
I went 10.98@123 a few nights ago with the combo listed below.
I'm doing the valve springs this week so hopefully it will pick up a couple of tenths.

10.96 @ 122 with a 1.51 60ft, 3625lbs. Unopened factory motor, just bolt-ons.
 
Wow guys yall are really moving...I'm going to go look at a T-type tomorrow...With the mods it already has , and a set of stickies it should go 12's easy...Hopefully before long I'll be at your back door.
 
then if you get one your going to have to change your name from Slow91z to something faster:p
 
Hey you can't forget your heritage, I learned a lot from that car...Besides, it's a sleeper name:p
 
My friend Mike Price went 10.82 never had the heads off with a 54 turbo and 50# injectors, JL Chip,Tony Boloni stock location IC:)
