If you compare the power gains from compression increase compared to burning more air and fuel (given the same displacement for both) you'll see why most people opt to run lower compression and more boost. You make more power that way with less likely hood of blowing a head gasket. High comp and boost is just not a good idea.

Agreed 100% however it also depends on your power adders eff. say you have a roots blower and you keep dropping pulley sizes and get out of the eff range you may see better #s by uping the cr a tad and going back to a larger pulley. But its a fine line before a blown head gasket or popped piston.

Spaz your not gonna give up that easy are you?

Spy I'll add a $100 to the pot...Todd, whats your address?

[xxbackhillxx]

Come on, nobody's gonna take botlfed's bait?



I might contribute to the pot next year, if nobody has won this by then. Unfortunately, all my money is tied up in my car right now.

[aleroboy]

I just decided before I say anything it would be better to post the hp number or time slip of what my car does, so for now no more talk its back to the garage.
much much work to do

LMFAO!!!!!!

[SpyhunteR]

no faith, nobody has any faith.

I haven't even seen my car since the 4th of July.

I'm doing the unthinkable, losing weight in Poland.

and since this is my last post until August, I'll make do what some baseball smartasses do... Get up to the plate, and point to the stands, and hit a home run.

Prediction. 11.5@116mph.

[myneedforspeed]

holy crap...11.5.....that's quick...now back it up....
way to lead by example...

[SikMindz]

It's the mighty Polish wonder! I'm headed to your hood tonite and you're not even going to be there! I know where your car is though...muahahahaha!

Meh, I figure whats the point. Some of us believe that and some don't, why argue? I'll just say this... I don't thing it's a matter of a 3800 swap as much as it is a 4T65HD swap. We all know this motor can make power and there's no reason it can't make enough power to get the car into the 11's if not the 10's. I don't think even a beefed up 4T45 will hold THAT much power though, so a trans swap might be required. Have to remember also that GA's suffer one major disadvantage to GP's in regard to ET's, and that is the launch. You lose or gain the most time on the launch and GP's have more front end weight and a longer wheel base so they will always get more traction and there's pretty much nothing we can do about that. I certainly think a GA is capable of running a 10 with enough work and the right setup though.

[bszopi]

FWD wheelie bars will help the launch. But most people don't think about things like that.... Or are too worried they'll get laughed at. But it would definately help keep the front wheels planted to the track.

so from a 12.965 to an 11.5
what like 25-30 psi of boost maybe more?
weight reduction? nitrous? all the above?

again enjoy it while you can.
