I am thinking about running in a 10 index class at our local track.
I would like to do it without the bottle in a 2800 to 3000# car.
Who is running at or near 10 flat and what is your combo?

[PONTIAC DUDE]

In a good chassis at 2800lbs, my 625hp 505 combo and a hyd roller will run that number.

[JKrull66]

Check all the classes you might want to run. Some require stock Dash, windshield, frame rails, True 10.5 tire ECT.
I back halfed my car and can't run some classes that i would like to.
My car ended up @ 3440 race wieght and has a 642 hp 462 and runs
10.60-70's in the Desert air. (Desert air) 3000' elevation but acts like 6000'.
It should run a 10 flat or better with excellent track conditions.
A 600 - 650 hp engine combo shouldn't be hard to come up with. Lots of ways to get there. You can get more info on my combo search (titles)(Race section )( What a rush)

Shouldn't be too hard to do. Light car, and above mentioned HP figures should get ya there. Your just gonna have to hope the car works...IE suspension, etc.

[Mo]

Slide rule says you will need around 600hp to run a 10.0 with a 3000lb car.

How much if I may ask? Of course if I have to ask I can't afford it! LOL

I think Shotgun already has some good parts to work with!

You'll just need to select gear/cam/converter, and you should be there.

[JKrull66]

What parts ya got ???
My niegbor has a 10.00 Cat.... Just add Corncob and Turpintine....LOL

[shotgun]

Thanks JK,I like your second answer better!

[JKrull66]

The things I spent money on twice, Tires, reargears, tq converter, and fuel pump.
The tires and the gears might have been avoided, but buy a good Tq the first time. The ones that will work on a 600 hp (Brand X engine) my motor powered right through. and get a size bigger fuel pump than you think you need.
good luck

11k, fresh only 2 passes
I also have the converter out of that combo for sale also.

[Skip Fix]

That's my goal also for the one at the machine shop now, so I'm interested in this thread also. 3400-3500lb second Gen F body. Hoping to do it with just Caltracs and a stock type rear suspension. 500" (4.350/4.21), non wide port E heads, Victor, 850.Roller cam to still be selected.Looking at a 264/268 @ 0.050.

[RUDOLFSSON]

My fathers combination goes like this...

10.09/132mph with best 1.5 60ft. on asphalt track, leaving at idle.
It's a 65 Tempest (#3200 with driver) with 428 (.40 over), 72cc E-heads ported by owner, factory cast crank with 2 bolt mains. Eagle rods, Ross pistons, 12 flat compression, Victor intake with 1150 carb. mechanical roller at .700 lift (1.65 arms) and duration around .265 at .050..... 12 bolt rear with 4.33 gear, Ati 4500-4800 stall, 8". Powerglide built by owner.. motor is also built by owner. 30x10.5 tires and "stock" Dick miller suspension components.

I am thinking 270/280 with 400 lobe lift mech roller,looks similar to what is listed so far.
