I say 477. I just found this thread. Your build is very similar to mine, your cam is a bit bigger. My heads/cam should be getting tuned mid next week so it will be interesting to see what you get. Good luck!

Big numbers for a mild head and cam package. We picked up 153 rwhp from that setup. The tuner done a great job with street ability issues as well. We got it idling at 750 rpm. And I have only light surging from time to time under 1200 rpm. The surging is not all the time either. From 3800 to 6800 this thing is mad at the world!!!!

Hey Dennis I'm doing the wide body conversion on the vette in the next couple months. I'm putting the nitto invo's on the back for street tires. What do you recommend for drag radials. The nitto's are 345-30-zr19.

I would go with mtdrs on the street, I run 305 35 18 for street, my best time on a very bad day traction was the worst, had to leave at 2000 rpm and pedal the first 3 cars out before full throttle NA 10.163@131.08 60 ft. 1.354 haven't been back but I'm positive a 9s pass NA is in it with traction and a lighter driver, I was 293lbs in the morning unclothed so race weight had to be 310 if I dont sell it, this fall hopefully 9s will happen
