While we primarily run 1/8mile dragracing in the southeast,we are contemplating running the 7.00 index..my ? is What does it take to run a 7.00 @110/115 mph in the 1/8 mile, and can it be done with the right cam, a 6262bb/65lbs injectors/ported irons/.30 over/.10 .10 crankshaft...me no wanna put the buford on a diet or over build to to reach that mph..maybe some of the dragracers will chime in..current mods are in my sig. Can bumble bees produce honey?
What does it take?

110/115 in the eigth is low 6's. 7.0, you need to be 98 to 100.
Yeah i see 7.00@98-103 all the time,just trying to avoid an overbuild to reach that number.Was hoping we could come up with a cam and turbo combo without havin to run 30plus lbs of boost.
Blackgn1 we are located in south carolina,we race at dorchester dragway,carolina dragway,and orangeburg dragstrip all in south carolina.Quickest time being at dorchester,,50ft above sea level.Was considering fine tuning but the te-44/42pounders are probably bout maxed out dont u think?
Bison so you're saying to make that kind of power i will have to overbuild to attain that mph@7.00,in other words a low6sec build.. torque converter is 3200 precision-stockstretch intercooler.Budget wise we are talkin awhole new engine altogether.
Well Phoneguy, in this area they dont run the NHRA/IHRA 6.40 index, they run 6.00,7.00,8.00 index.So all the 6.40 guys they all pile in to the 7.00 class..sandbaggers... of course..they gonna 60ft harder than i ,then they will start to back-peddle and as they back-peddle im wide-open on the floor,,low and behold they cant recover from that top end charge..kinda .like the element of surprize.Besides we love lotsa mph...
For 110-115 mph go with a billet 6766 or if budget allows 6466. Ptc 9.5 seems to be a good converter. 3200-3400 should work. I'd go with 80lb injectors though although they have poor idle quality. id1000's are a much better choice and cost $105 an injector. Well worth the extra cost for these injectors imo.
Ill saythat my fast car runs low 6's in the eighth @24-25psi. My slower car runs 6.78-6.8 @30psi. Both have proven to be very reliable engines on 93/alky. Capable of being driven hundreds of miles non stop, drag raced and regualry driven hard. Together they had over 300 dyno hits combined. Many many street passes. The cost to duplicate the faster one is 3-4x the slower one and the are only a half second apart in the eighth. Very few stock block turbo regals have or will ever run 115mph in the eighth. Not impossible but not common by any means. 850hp or you can forget about running 115mph in the eighth. Youre not going to get there with with any of the parts you mentioned. 102-103mph no problem if the tune is there. With turbo, converter, and cam you could 108-109mph. Beyond that it will take some thinking and expensive parts. Not stuff you see everyone else running.
As always Bison your expertise is always appreciated .We can live with 105-108mph.we will probably be contaction you with some cam /valve train recomendations etc.. in the very near future..Thanks again guys for all the responses....Can bumble bees produce honey???
