Sorry for the long post but that should answer any other questions.
The car has ran a best of
11.69 @ 116.87 w/ a 1.57 60'. 1/8mile was in the 7.4x range at 91.xx mph. Those times were on motor. Hoping to see some 10.3x or so on the 300 pills. The thing I like about this set up is that I can drive it to the track and back. It's not a comfortable ride, but I don't need to buy and insure a truck and trailer.
My question is more about power potential of a smaller displacement motor w/ a BIG top end on it. Currently my pistons weigh in the 550g range and my rods are standard 5.7" eagle H beam. The crank ain't exactly a featherweight either. What I'm trying to say is, I don't want to turn 9000rpms if I don't have to. I know a lot will depend on the cam and head selection, and that's why I was posting here.
I know this isn't necessarily an easy question to answer, but I appreciate all replies.
