[QUOTE="Polecat, post: 972243, member: 554260"] dude, I've been building cars and drag racing since you were probably in diapers. There is no way you can get a 3100 lb car, not matter what light he's cutting, to run 11.31. With drivetrain loss of 30%, that motor is making 334HP. If thatw as true, anyone could pick up a GM crate 350, the 330HP motor and run 10's....it is not going to happen. Suspension is setup and adjusted for the car. As long as you have the proper launch, 60' times, is all you need. gearing is solely dependant on the RPM range of the motor and it's effect on RPM when crossing at the big end, being in the HP range desired.I know of cars running 1.48 60' and running 10.11's at 134 on motor alone. And it's not a 300 HP SBC, it's a blown 502.... But if you think you can do it, use your knowledge, setup a rearend, buy [URL="http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/ChevySmallBlockV8s/350_HO_Super_Deluxe.html"]this[/URL] and go run some 10's..............
