Quickest (Drag Strip ET) naturally aspired small block C3?
Is there anybody on the forum with a naturally aspired small block C3 (full frame car) that beats my best ET?? (11.05)
I know that there are a few big blocks and maybe some turbo/blown/nitrous small blocks..but I can't remember seeing any naturally asipred small block C3 that is that quick...
Is there anybody faster??

There is always somebody FASTER. The Forum is a very small community.
Oh by the way....You forgot to add "ON 93 OCTANE"
Then I'll woop your BUTT !!!!!.

Your timing will be soooo retarded it'll QUALIFY for the "Jerry Lewis Telethon"

I actually ran 11.38 with 50 degrees total timing..which was 14 degrees past the recommended 36 degrees.. I'd bet that I'll still run mid 11's on 93 octane...

N/A means no boost or other power adders i.e. nitrous. Fuel injection in N/A.

Very few people actually race on the track. Even fewer race as their main hobbie. Many members have up their hp from where the factory shipped it. You know as well as anyone, once you get to a certain point it takes more the horsepower to run fast. I for one do not have any desire to run it the 10's, not even in the 11's. If I had time, money and an intrest, things maybe different. In the mean time, we'll watch your posts to see if you ever break 11.

As a X drag racer of 20 yrs,(and not a daily driver car) I would estimate that for every $1000.00 spent on my engines or supension. I would gain 10th second. So just do the math from a stock HP engine at 14 or 15 sec. run. But I never could put a cost on me sleepin at the tree made me come in second though with 2000 plus HP (not bad)

A tenth for a 10 second car probably costs at least twice as what it costs for a 14 second car...
