TEXAS SPEED New NA Stock Bottom-End Heads/Cam Record with 9.66!!!
It pisses me off so bad I didn't get to see it run (one of the main reasons I went) and sucks also that I didn't get to check the setup a little bit longer.
For anyone curious this does not look as hacked up / gutted as a lot of cars I see at a much heavier race weight.
Congrats TSP!

Yes tho the fact it probably has a good rod bolt in it and notched pistons will get some around here burnt up over the "stock bottom end" claim. Personally I could care less 346 inches GM piston,rod,crank 9.66 enough said.
why would notched pistons have anything negative towards a stock bottom end? and who has said there are aftermarket rod bolts. there maybe, buti havent seen it posted.
as for pump gas vs race gas - again, who cares. if you mill down a set of 5.3L heads and a thin gasket, you could definately run into issues with higher compression.

OoOoh wait until the stock bottom end police pay this thread a visit. There are members here that adhere to the strict letters of the law I obviously could give a **** about flycuts and rodbolts as well but I am biased because I have done those to both my LS series motors. It was for this reason my signature has things spelled out a bit more.

Predator will be tuning in from Dubai with a bunch of crap to say that nobody cares about.
That's an unbelievable ET, VERY nice job!! You guys have that combo well tuned in and it's cood to see a H/C car going mid 9's!!
I want more info on those PRC 227 small bore heads as they're not on the website yet. Alot of 383 guys probably would like to get those. And that MS-5 should be interesting too, I doubt it will be a solid roller though because a fast intake probably wouldnt feed it.

Fuel comparisons make way less of a difference than running in really good mineshaft air. I would rather have pump gas and -1800 ft DA, than "race gas" and -250 ft DA.
