I don't think KritiK is to far off. The OEMs are almost there (in the 10s) and they are meeting the CAFE/emmissions regulations at the same time.
I would need to see documentation, on that. All the 10-11 sec oem cars, I know of, have to pay the gas gussler tax

I've given documented proof that a slant can run faster than what you deem as fast.
What do YOU call fast. Fast means different things to different people, and cercomstances (sp). In the 70's my stocker was fast, turning 16's. Now I think my Cuda is fast, running 13's. My 66 Valint is slow running 13's.(bigger motor, less weight)it should be in the 12's. It is relative.

I see no reason why the article's engine would not be street friendly especially since we have new cam profiles which are more efficient and a better understanding air flow when its related to head porting and valve grinds.
Mainly the compression ratio, it would require race gas. The Webbers could be made to work on the street, but impractical. As for the head, we are still dealing with a head that has many drawbacks from the get go. There is only so much that can be done with it. The newer OEM cars you refer to (10-11sec) Started with a clean sheet of paper for engine design. They did not modify 40 year old designs. Most are multiple valves per cyl. Variable cam timing, and electronic engine manigment.

Looks like I'll just have to keep my opinions to myself since you guys can't seem to think out of the box. Sorry about trying to enlighten you to the potential.
Not necessary to keep your opinions to yourself. discussion is good. It just needs to be kept civil. I am not refering just to you but everyone.
AS for thinking out of the box, all of us do that, just because we have slants and not small block chevys. Looking forward to seeing your time slips, and I'm not saying that as a smart a**. Really want to see what it can do. I am a fan of most bang for the buck.
