i would say if you go with the 80e then go with the 3.73's and 3.42's with the 60/65e due to the 1st gear being so much different.

Interesting approach to picking gears. I base much of the decision off the 4th gear.

You want the thing to run low 10s and be "tame"

I'm actually liking this ZEX progressive 2-stage nitrous controller, spray 100 off the line all the way to traps and follow up with an additional 150-200 after the 60 foot. Nitrous weighs less too, I'd say coincidentally proportional to the cost as well. What gives me hope is that I was watching PINKS last night when an F-body was deep into the 11's on a 200 shot with a heads/cam LS1. A built 383 set up for spray should take a 200 shot and ask for seconds.


What do you guys suppose the 383 would put out at the rear wheels off the bottle and through a 60E? Given either the 275 or 273 cam Zippy and I were discussing. If it can put out ~400rwhp N/A, I'm set.

Anything out of his mouth is usually bullshit, and most is him taking what someone said before and posting it up using their identical words or rephrasing it. Dont trust him for ****.

the guy on the left is me, inchup is in the middle and the owner of the 76 silverado is on the right.



that would be my ZR2 which is now totaled. if you cant see these let me know.

i have a friend who is secretly watching inchup talk about bullshit and i'm getting irritated with people holding him high when its based off of lies and wikipedia. i will be honest, i dont know jack **** about some engines, but... i have a greater idea bout 5.7L 5.3L and learning more about 6.0L because those were my options to put into my Z, my uncle has a 79' corvette sting ray he let me drive once and my other uncle just dropped a 400 big block i think into his 79 Z28. i havent seen it yet but he has been working on his transmission for it.

but like i said before, i'm not on here to post sorta, unless i have questions or can make a comment but because i'm out of the loop on most performance trucks (cars is a different thing) but i'm trying to save people the problem of getting screwed over by inchup makin up bullshit.

Id stay 2wd, use a 60, a cam in the 240s, 9" out back

Here is an example of the power level and range you're looking for. This is a 96' S10 that went 10.64 on a 170hp shot with a progressive controller on a fogger kit. This is a personal friends truck and I was there and helped work on it. On the dyno it only made something like 480RWHP in this form. In a 4x4 form you could probably run a low 10 with 550-600RWHP running a progressive controller if you kept the weight down. That truck even had the stock 8.5" rear with the stock Gov-Lock. You could probably do it with the lighter 7 5/8 rear in a 4x4 or awd (Bravada T-Case) form.

7845,

alot of us have already figured this out. he speaks from his butt like ace ventura. there will be no low 10 second 383 s10 because he will not push the envelope, and will not take anyones suggestions at all. his idea of streetable is STOCK. im sure he wants to shift it out at 5500 rpm with a granny cam, a stockish torque converter on some factory sized michelin street tires. simply put, it wont happen.

this thread just got interested.......

i feel real bad for the people that actually believe in him, pretty much all the newbee's......

inchup - good luck on your project, i really hope it does do want you want but im with alot of people, it WONT do it..... stop reading dyno's and going off of them, go to the track and get numbers there since you are wanting e/t's, DYNO #'s dont mean ****! as mentioned before, my cammed 6.0 setup dyno 323rwhp and better times than with people with more rwhp, taking in consideration the weight also...

I agree that RWHP isn't really the tell tale of what you are going to run. Hell, I put down 309RWHP (about 60 or so over a stock 5.3L) and only ran a 14.0. You don't need to have the big cam to run the big number either. You do however have to get every bit of power that you're making to the ground. As for whether or not he does it, only time will tell.

Interesting this takes a turn because of one post. Does any one know the truth about the post that 7845 made? I am just curious.
