lol did that record ever get broken? lol 3.8 guys would get pissed if i can break it with a single turbo 2.8 :evil:

No one on any of the message boards has taken a 3.8 Series II faster than an 11.8xx

There is a guy with a huge budget that has a 3.8 SII motor running high 11's NA, but the car is basically a doorslammer.

yup that was it

turbo GTP > turbo camaro

:D

i trap 5MPH more in the 1/8 mile then you trap in the 1/4 :-D :mrgreen:

lol just messing with you

F-body yes

there are 3800 SII in the mid 9's

well im gonna shoot for 11.30's with this motor without nitrous.i shoudl be able to do it.if not ill be really pissed.my best of yet is 14.8 na.the head swap alone should drop me to 14.0-14.2 ish and on a 2.8 its figured to be +100 hp per 6-7 psi of boost

60* v6 > 90* v6

so your to need about 25-30 psi then :nod:

ill be runining 21#'s +25 shot and it wouldnt take that much 500 hp in a 3200 pound car will go 10.0
figure ive got about 225 now 10-14 psi should do the trick

might want to get rid of those 4:10 gears

its got 4:56's in it, im prolyl gonna drop back to 3:73's or 3:42's

3.42 ;-)

ill find out wensday how bad the 4:56's will be if all goes well this weekend ima bring the car out to etown on wensday night and make a pass with 7-9 psi of boost on street tires,if that dont work ill see how it does on 9 inch slicks

I probably will remember once someone tells me but I can't right now, so newb q alert.... whats the deal with gearing in FI cars?

huh???

like, why do you wanna step down to say 3.42s, what's the issue with larger (numerically) gears?

traction issues. numerically higher gears multiply tq more (easier to lose traction)

makes sense

not just that

turbo's like load on the motor, those 4.56's will not spool the turbo as fast as 3.42s would

it will take longer to get into full boost.......


and traction issues when the turbo finly does spool the tire can't hold lol

GN guys run slower even with 3.73's, thats why they all stay with the stock 3.42 or 3.23 ( not many if any cars got this)


if you have 2 rears try it i bet the car is faster on the 3.42's

SC don't have this problem becuase they drive off the crank, load does not matter in a sense of boost, also taller gear helps SC in that your in higher RPM's

ahhh

Correct me if I'm wrong.... you have no times with your set up?

You aren't ready to hang w/ the big v6 boys ;)

3800 ftw

i should be breaking 14's after this weekend...back into competition with kasey

i only have times for my na setup,but with that said the person helping me build my setup,has a similar setup on his car.were building mine with better parts,bigger turbo,his is more of a street car,and we have his times so far to go by.btw my na setup makes just as much power as his setup @5psi,so im already ahead of the game i should be able to pull a mid 12 on wensday no problem

Yea, I was assuming everyone knew I was talking about F-Bodies.

60* > 90* :nod:

fine example of bench racing/mag racing..."so and so's car does this, so that means mine can too!"
