How much power needed to run 8.60 in a 105" nostalgia type Altered?
jeff/21:
why are you settling? is it because of cost, we all have budgets yes Chev's are the cheapest and easiest to get parts for and 600hp isn't that hard to achieve sometime it's best to put dreams aside and finish the project.

Yea, plus I have a couple other projects I need to finish ;D
Just trying to get a cost idea to run NE2, think I have a good idea now. Thanks everyone for your input.

We run a 105" Altered at 1600 pounds with a stack injected 355 sbc. Best of 8.79 in great weather. Runs 8.90 like clockwork year round, we slow it down a bit to run the 9.0 class at our local track. Shouldn't be much of a trick to build a 392 to run 8.60's.

Thanks fuel749, I'll run my Chevelle, while I build a low buck altered. Never thought I'd step up, but I think I can do a hemi on a budget since I do my own work.
Rat:
Even at 1800# a fairly mild methanol stack injected 392 with cast heads should make enough power to run 8.60
Currently helping out building a 392 now to go into a FED should be on track in a few months
