I bought my 308 from a guy on here (lostit), it's a 308/286
I think he did a high 12 in an auto VC Commodore.

Thats good numbers for that combo

I reckon mine has got a 12 in it, the converter is holding it back but that will be sorted in a few weeks.

rory i have a 288 comming but the bottle will come first as the 288 will not pass engineers and when its in it should go 11.5 all day with the right gears

one of my mates swore by this combo and ran consistent low 12,s for years :spoton:

he had crane 286, l34 heads with a bit of portin and some shaping in the return radius to cause a swirl effect,flat tops,torker manifold and a 650 holley..

i whent a similar combo only i used a killa set of heads and i went for a 288 solid with a 4800 stall and it ran 11.1 124 mph
in an lh that was a fun cruiser aswell i tell ya!!! :spoton:

thats interesting stuff. i ran a 13.1 with 3.25gears with a baby cam way smaller than a 286 im going for a crane H226 which is meant to outpower the 286 in a well built combo, should be interesting to see what mine will pull with the new cam some more head work. :spoton:

my stocko 308 in lc ran 14.7 with 2.78 diff gears and 50m of wheelspin, i reckon it sat on the line for whole second spinning!

low 13s easy with better gears and traction.

The problem...as I know....in the LC is wheelspin because of the light weight...as A1 has indicated. I am looking forward to the L34 replica with my combo on slicks...that should hook up nicely...

the combo i sold to micklx was :

400hp heads red 308 pollution flowed by Graeme Sic..Total performance
1.6 harley rollers
286 crane anti hydraulic , stock crank,grpA vl rods, forged flat top pistons, standard GMH oil pump shimed.dual plane vc pollution manifold, 750 DP holley, Ice ignition.10.5 to 1 comp Engine build/tuned Matt W.Holley Performance

First time ran it 13.9 102mph single wheelie 3.36, 2200 stall VB SLE commodore, with Roch carby , crossing line in 2nd gear at 6000rpm, this was without using stall conv since it just fired the tyres.

After putting 4.11 and 750 DP holley , ran 12.8 ( cant remeber mph), and it still had a little more in it.

Mind you all this was run in about 1994 and on super fuel. Mind you with vn heads, etc you could run some serious times these days.

Oh and this combo was my daily driven car for about 20000kms and didnt miss a beat, and passed all epa rules .)

But if Micklx did check the heads passover has been welded in , for the pollution.

I just scored this same cam to replace the H276 in the 355 from my LJ GTR thats going into my LC. I'm going to run a TH350, 2500rpm stall and 3.50 geared 9". I don't know whether to run a single plane torquer or dual plane Performer manifold but I've got both so I'll see how it goes. I've also got a modified 600 d/p that flows 675cfm and a 750 vac sec so I'll try a few combos. The heads are well ported ex-VK Brock black with L34 size valves, YT rollers, etc. I'll put up some times when its sorted.
