13.3's to 11.8's to Forget it...

In your mind...... how much power do you think it’s going to take to run 11’s in an a body?
And why wouldn’t a stock bottom end hold up to that?

Season after season? Dude....... be serious.
How many times did 318will go to the track this year, and how many passes did he make?
How many passes did you make on your “hot” combo before changing it up?
No guessing...... count the time slips.

A guy that goes to the track once in a while puts way fewer runs on their stuff compared to a guy who spends his summers “bracket racing”.

As for the cost of the converter/gears...... those items are where the ET is.
A good converter is $800+.
Doesn’t matter if it’s for a $20,000 high end bracket piece or a re-ringed 360.
Costs the same.
Same with the gears....... they cost what they cost.

With the right cam, gears, converter.......you don’t need expensive heads to run 11’s.
Bowl blended stock heads will get you there.

I think one time I started counting them and I was up to 80 and my wife called me and I still was only about halfway through the stack that was a couple years ago. Also this doesn't include the ones I lost threw away or all the ones my son brought home with him to Colorado when he would come down for the Mopar Nationals year after year before my grandkids were born... Yes I have literally hundreds of times lips with this motor..
Again like I said here I've dialed the car back considerably over the past couple years...
As far as 318hvtwf he's been drag racing at the 15-second to 13 second level for 4 years with the car and now wants to do 11-8 with the same bottom end...
It was just my experience when I tried to do the same thing after a couple seasons kablooey...
Like you said I will enjoy the show...
I just know shaving a half-second off from 15 to get down to 13 5 or 13-3 is not the same as shaving 13-3 down to 11.8..
and for all those saying this guy did it look at his post and that guy did it look at that post.. and just like 318hvtwf, it's all lip service to me till you prove it with a time slip "YOURSELF"...
The problem is I've seen too many people saying what their friends can do and what they've seen other people do...
Let's just save this and see what 318hvtwf dose and stop the lip service once and for all...
