I don’t see this going 11s with heads/cam/100shot… You would probably need 600whp to get that tank into the 11s…Not to mention how rough thats gonna be on transmission and rear end… Anyways good luck on your quest… ---

In my research of getting an Impala SS to the 10’s Ideally without NOS, I was looking at a procharger F1? i think running 22 pounds, full built(10grand) of motor internals. 4l80e truck tranny Dana 60 rear end and a 200 shot to finish her off. In the end it would dyno based on paper, about 1100 wheel horse, and would go 10’s ONCE before something broke, and if everything is built up like I stated, you are adding weight by beefing it up. Plus with that much power, It is NEVER going to hook up without tubs and 16 inch tires. Fast boats are fun, but Its time to realize that yea, you can hit 13s, but making 4000 pounds gain another whole second takes a whole lot more than some Nawwsss ---
