Get in the ute
A mate of mine is running 10.80's@123mph? or there abouts, in a full weight VK (no cage yet) with a n/a 355 stroker (for your reference)

From memory it made around 520hp or there abouts on the engine dyno.

It's actually quite friendly and tame to drive on the street (big converter, etc) - with the only real issues being noise and EPA/police :p.

Ill post a link up to the thread on SC forum when I get home as its blocked on my work computer. From memory it was an ecotec block with stock l67 internals. That was power at the rears too I should say

the vb is pretty light, i should be able to weigh it down at work but hope the cops dont ping me for doing it.

i really think about 600hp engine is a good start to getting a fast-ish commodore. any more than that and i reckon its probably overkill for a streeter.

i imagine that stock stroke 308 was a bit revvy though. not a bad time, i'm sure it would feel like it went pretty well.

Yes, it is, but you didn't ask how streetable it is...:p However, it is quiet driveable though.

Don't ya need ANDRA tech inspection going into 10's?

Not if you live in Vic and go to Heathcote.....No such problems.

yeah that'd be more like it. even still would have to be stripped out to nothing. 20mm holesaw etc. :)

It's actually near on full weight i believe. Don't assume Ari, it makes you look silly.

You really don't need that much power IMO. 600HP, is no easy operation.
