I will have to call you on this one.
We can hook way more than 600 on a 10.5 tire.I can even hook that on a 8.8 inch wide drag radial in the middle of the street leaving @4000RPM off the trans brake.
The little car in the pic I posted on the spray ,A mild tune at that makes about 1150Hp and that on a short 28X10.5
Then you get into the heavy hitting ORSCA EZ Street and the ORSCA limited street cars they are hooking way more than what we have on a 10.5 tire.
As far as chassis work you can do all that on a stock style suspension.
As for 600 wrinkling the car a good set of through the floor sub frame connectors will keep the quarters pretty straight without a cage.
Now I really do not get the comment about the C-4 did I miss it and the guy said Powerglide?The only thing I looked at was he mentioned C-6 and that's a 3 speed.

You car looks like it has a hell of a lot more chassis work done to it rather then the 79 in the video. And about the c6 my mind was in another place i was thinking t56 for some reason. :shock: I dont know if its just the local tracks or not, but locals with drag suspension and high hp have trouble hooking on a 10.5 tire. Im running a 10.5 slick on a built 306 and i get traction all day long.

The car in the pic is one I finished up here at the house for a friend and yes it has a ton of chassis work.But its still a stock style suspension car.
My last Street car that you could actually drive anywhere was putting a little over 600 to the tire and had nothing but cut through subframe connectors good struts and control arms.On a really good track mid 1.3 60ft times on a 275/60 dragradial.Most of the time it was a 1.4 60ft car and never wrinkled a quarter or popped a quarter glass.
It was probably the most fun car I have ever owned.Low HP drivable 60ft like hell and a dog for the rest of the track

Thats wild. A local around here has a mild 460, c4 w/ brake, and his car is creasing. However only chassis work he has done is sf connectors and a 8pt cage.
All this fox talk, i cant wait for spring. :mrgreen:

Sub frame connectors come in all shapes and sizes but most guys use the ones that just weld to the front and rear sub frame over a spot of about 4 inches.I have pushed the front sub frame and floor up into the car 2 inches with those.
INMO the only way to go is to do cut trough's.

Like others said, Why would it be? I've got a LT-1 in my 1:1

As I and others have already said, it's a federal law, but many people get away with it. It's all about emissions regulations changing each year. You're allowed to swap in most any engine out of the same year or newer vehicle, but you cannot legally go backward.
Is having an LT-1 in anything supposed to impress anybody? I've got a Kohler 14 in my summer ride, but you don't see me shouting from the rooftops about it.

Outlaw 10.5 runs 10.5" wide slicks, most are TT or pumping in nitrous like no tomorrow. Most run in the neighbourhood of 2000+ hp.

You funny guys and your slicks......Radial tire cars to the FRONT!!!!

The carbed to efi thing is a common misconception. Carbed might make a couple(litterally) HP more at the PEAK rpm, but not throughout the rpm's.

lol, happened to have been in an (roughly) 800hp fox. A buddy of mine had a 6.0l with twin 67mm turbo's last year. All that was done to the motor were some ported-to-hell heads, arp rod studs, valve springs and a cam. On 13lbs of boost it made 705hp, and that was also slipping the converter HARD. He picked up a new converter but never dyno'd it after that. He went 9.51 on 14lbs of boost, and we also tried 15lbs of boost on the street(errr, closed course I mean) and HOLY SHIT what a difference a lb of boost makes when your already making big power.
My other point was, he did this on a 10.5" slick, and yes it blew the tires off pretty hard from a dig. Hell, rolling at 120km/h down the highway it would blow the tires off and paint the road haha.
Also, a video for your entertainment:

This is another buddies 88mm turbo 6.0l powered s10. He has been 9.38, and it rides like the fastest friggin couch you have ever been in haha. That is me riding shotgun, one of these days I will build something...
95 turbo lsx powered lightining?? I think so...

I realize a 10.5 can be good with a ball load of chassis work, but if you put 800hp to the fox in "his" video, that thing wouldnt hook for shit. Their is a local guy that owns a speed shop around here that has a 8 second street car on a 10.5 tire, it also has a tube chassis...
