Is This a 10 Sec Car ??
I blew my engine in my 05 (C6) and here is whats going in...
LS2 motor with a 4" stroker crank = (403 ci)
FAST 102 ported intake
243 Heads ported & polished and milled .030
Kooks 1 3/4 headers, complete system, w/cats
Cam is ?? I asked for an "aggressive cam" but something that can be driven around town, & handle a 100 mile trip to & from the track..
FTI 2800 converter
3.15 rear gears
Dyno Tune & 160 Thermostat
Am I going to be in the 10's or close to a 10 sec car ??

Sorry bout that, @ my age everything becomes a blur 
& Yes I plan on taking it to the track as soon as its completed (hopefully late Nov)Atco or RP may have track rental days & I'll for sure go to one of them as long as the weather cooperates...

.. If I go with a 3600 + converter, I'm going to have to "UPGRADE" my rear end I have a stock 05 (3.15) and I'm thinking the 2800 that I now have will be a little easier on the rear end even if I have to leave a little ET on the table.. What I'm saying I'd rather run 11.2 and keep it in one piece than 10.8 and blow the rear...Not sure if I'm making any sense...but I have to keep an eye on the pocket book also..
I need a roll bar (about $1500) fire jacket, 5 pt seat belt...etc... etc.. so if by keeping the 2800 converter will save me from some grief in the future I'd be satisfied with a low 11 sec car...

I think I'd like to put 300 or so miles on it before it see's the track...
