Build a 16 second Slant and hit it with a 100 shot of spray.

14's aren't too hard on motor. You just have to use a sensible plan. Bolting in a big cam and leaving everything else stock isn't going to do it.

You need most of all a good head. Bigger valves and bowl porting are a good place to start. The rest is just a good balance of compression, cam, intake, carb, headers, etc.

The you need a good converter and trans if you run an automatic.

Upgrade the rear with some decent gears, my favorite is a 3.91.

Then, make the car as light as safely possible.

You can also easily spray a 14 second Slant into the 12's.

I picked up 2 seconds With my head When I went from a stock one to a worked one with Big Valves - This is true for a Turbo or a N/A Motor.

Eliminating All uneccsary Weight Will help too - Espically if it's a Drag Only car!!

Good head, weight reduction wherever possible, decent and or low gear set in the back and then you wont be to far off. A nice cam and converter will work wonders as well.

Get the weight down to about 2,700 lbs or less. The less weight the faster/easier it will be.
What will be the purpose of the car? Street only, street and ocasional track, mostly track, or dedicated race car? You need to define the perameters.

go spend thousands and thousands of dollars in a big cubes stroker slant... I heard they outrun 440's




(sorry, I couldn't resist, sad thing is that I'm on the same path, big cubes motor with lots of money on it... I think my sarcasm is truly fear)
