I'm aiming for 8-10lbs. The stock block can safely hold about 12 lbs. I don't want to push it too far though with this block. It'll run like that for awhile, then she's getting basically a new performance block from Intense Racing. Total engine rebuilds will be about 3, one has already been done. She'll end up having well over 200K miles on the body, probably more. Total cost, I have no idea. Money isn't really what I'm concerned about in this case. It's hardcore raping V8s and shutting certain people up about V6s. I want to eventually hit 11s, maybe 10s with her. 10s is kinda pushing it though. I still want her to be street legal and fun to drive whenever I want, not just on the track. I'm hoping to start buying parts this year and getting that going. I have to get a new DD before tearing her apart again.

Haha nah that's ok. I'm looking to get a 5 sp Cobalt. If I get this job I'm interviewing for on Monday, I'll need something fairly fuel efficient. It's about an hour away. I don't want to put too much stress on Sof running that far 5 days a week.

I'm not expecting to reach 11s any time soon. That goal will be with the new engine for sure. 8.9 on the quarter was reached by a turbo V6 Firebird. It's possible.

endured 7100 rpm for 5 miles at bonneville, and 700 hp in their 1/4 mile turbo track car. it wont be boosted as much as it will run pump gas, but 500 hp from it when its done wont be a far stretch
