I took it a couple days after I got the swap done, at the time the motor was bone stock, and the chasis was bone stock, ran an 8.38 @93 in the 1/8, on 195/60/15 tires! The time isn't too impressive, but the trap is. I never ran it with the cam, It did make 390hp, and seems like 377ft tq to the wheels @6400. The cam was really made to pull up to 6800-7000, but I didn't have a fuel system that would support it so we left it at that. I was really hoping to hit 400 with what I had. I don't know of anything that bolts to the stock tranny, honestly the swap wasn't that bad. You could swap one of these cars using an lt1 very reasonably, still be fuel injected and dependable, good mpg, and tons of power, sbc mounts, and headers are much cheaper/easier to come by. If you are a ford guy, the 302 is a pretty simple and cost effective swap as well.
