Help a super stock rookie

Matt Potts ran 10.30 last year in GT/FA & that was a new Camaro with 30x10.5 Hooisers.

Steve Wann's SS/HA Cuda has 9" stocker Hoosier radials. High 1.20 60's, 9.70's @ sea level. Bobby D. (AA/SA) and Robert Pond (AA/S, no radials) the same.Big tires are overrated.

I'm going from a 9x29.5 that saw 10.00's with 7800 RPM launch & Cal-Track system to a really big 12.5x30.5 steam roller tire and plain old ladder bars and mini-tubbed factory wheel house. Trully 20th century tech in the 21st century.

Ok , we will finish the car, weigh it, and then decide on a displacement. We will sell the AFR comp 210's and the Carb, and use the money to get the Bowties done up. with a crank and piston change, we can make this 363 a bit smaller and away we go.Tell all your friends there is a guy selling a few new parts for cheep. LOL

Chuck, nothing wrong with small tire car. I have 10.5 - 30 with ladder bars on my 93 firebird and I run super stock GT with a stick. If you setup the clutch good you should see 60' in the high 1.20s and maybe better. Call Jim Tarian for poring your cyl. heads 248-879-0815... Luke

A big thanks to everyone for the information so far. We are working on the cage and other misc. items and as far as the motor goes Im going to complete the 363 with the AFR heads, dyno the package, and use it to shake the car down. then we will sell the motor, less a few items I want to keep, and in the meantime start building a smaller combo.

So as far as iron heads go, the phase 2 bowties that I have would not be as good a starting point as the Vortec heads that someone mentioned? no big deal, the phase 2's were cheep, and they have not had anything done to them as yet.

What area of the country does Randy Mann live, what kind of car does he have, and does he hang out on this board? Randy, if you can hear me, send me a PM.

Thanks again everyone.
Chuck

Randy and Michael live in the Minneapolis area. Occasionally you'll find them on here. They are running a 2000 firebird that they used to run in GT. Very nice people if you get ahold of him I'm sure he'll help give some advice.
