11.0:1 306 vs. 9.0:1 306

Al-
I'll let you know if you become a PITA.

The one thing I really hate doing is estimating numbers for someone. Especially 1/4 times. There are so many factors involved, it's just more of a headache than it's worth. BUT, with a good driver on a cold day, with the appropriate gears and suspension modifications, and an engine that is quality built and tuned, and includes the parts you mentioned, and with 94 octane gas AND an octane booster, sub 12's are not impossible.

My personal opinion? Get a blower, and build up the bottom end. The easiest, most cost effective way to build an 11 second street car is with forced induction. It will be much more streetable, as well as dependable. The old saying ("there's no replacement for displacement") is true. That's all a blower is doing; increasing your displacement. What's more streetable than a 306 that becomes a 510 when you get on it, but returns to being a 306 after the race? Not much.

Take care,
-Chris
