Alright junior, slow your roll.....you are treading in some very expensive, very improbable territory. The biggest real displacement you are going to get is in the 400 CID range. After that, you start talking big blocks which are next to impossible to shoehorn into a 3rd Gen. What is your budget? A moderately worked 350, pushing 400 hp will get you into the 3k dollar range...thats just starting....

i hope your not thinking of creating a driver that runs 10s.by the time you comply with all of the NHRA rules,a cruise down to the dairy queen will be impractible and possibly illeagle.having stated the obvious a nicly built 383 with a 200 shot of No2 would just about do it i think IMHO

spend your $20k on a house instead. or buy one of these Nelson Racing Engines - Twin Turbo Hot Rod Series and spend another $10k on a driveline and chassis to support it

10 flat or 10.99 ?


How many runs do you want it to survive? Or, do you want to experience a car in the 10's and who cares if it grenades on the 4th or 5th pass?

You do have cash on hand to do this, don't you???



If you just want the thrill of going fast, and want to do it reliably, here you go Suzuki Cycles - Product Lines - Cycles - Products - Hayabusa - 2011 - GSX1300R
