Goals for this year? - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

Jersey_TA · 01-13-2009, 02:33 AM

Since I'm bored at work I figured I would see what everyone's goals are for this year. What does everyone have planned for thier cars?

I'm definitely running the vette when I get back. I'm hopfully shooting for a 12.2-low 12.3 as it sits. I haven't decided if I want to go with a convertor yet, but I'll definitley get a ported tb, pulley, and a new bellows. By the end of the year I want to be at an 11.9.
As far as the T/A I'm going to get the bugs worked out and hopefully run it by the end of the year. Shooting for some 10.9s with that.

Get the 98 in the 11s and maybe try and think about getting the 69 started up for the frirst time.

I want to get the trans am down the track for some base numbers..... then start modding...... i really want to do paint but i don't know if financially i'll be able to do it

CHRIS67 · 01-13-2009, 07:03 AM

Interior upgrades - check (thanks Santa).

Drum to disc conversion - likely.

New 17" rims & tires- wishfull thinking.

I finally bought a rear (Midwest Fabricated 9") and am awaiting its arrival so ill be out finally after 3 years with this thing to make some passes. ill be happy with a 10sec run...10.5 would be nice but im more concerned with trap speeds right now....lookin for 135+.

My goal is to get my drag car finished by the summer and hit 10's with it.

Knipps · 01-13-2009, 12:45 PM

Get it back on the road! Maybe even pass inspection.

MonmouthCtyAntz · 01-13-2009, 12:52 PM

Well no track for this car, not a mechanic and refuse to pay someone for stuff that i break beating the heck outta my car...but looking to repaint the car along w/ some black zr1's before spring...performance wise, probably ported tb, ls6 intake, tune, and maybe a stall converter. Dont need to be the fastest guy around, should be satisfied after that (yea right

)

miketa95 · 01-13-2009, 02:10 PM

step one: buy a DD.. maybe a ram?

step two:begin modding my TA. I want to get a cc503 all the supporting stuff, some headers, wheels, paint.

step three: go faster than 13.9

79CamaroDiva · 01-13-2009, 02:46 PM

New clutch for the 2002, then try to beat the 12.80 from last october.

In the works right now that were goals from a long time ago finally happening, new heads & cam in the race car, some minor chassis modification, maybe a fiberglass body to replace the aluminum one.
ET goal: 7.50s, achievement goals: win one of Atco's $10k Mitchell races, and 1 divisional. More would be nice, but i'll leave it at 1 each

My push & shove goal: try and get steve working on his belvedere.

deadtrend1 · 01-13-2009, 04:31 PM

LT1: Get it legal again

LS1: UMI TQ Arm

TPI: Remove from inventory

baddest434 · 01-13-2009, 04:39 PM

NJ346 · 01-13-2009, 07:39 PM

1: Breaking 12.40's with the car by the end of the year. It's going to be hard, but I think I can pull it off.
2: Last the majority of the year without blowing the rear.
3: Get together with more people from the site.

cdubbzz · 01-13-2009, 09:43 PM

10.0's would be nice

WayFast84 · 01-13-2009, 09:50 PM

enjoy this car I have poured my heart and soul into...

I have a spare 10 bolt sitting in the garage so I'm not too worried. In fact, I may be picking up another 10 bolt real soon lol.

bubba428 · 01-14-2009, 05:53 AM

Blackbirdws6 · 01-18-2009, 04:32 PM

- Get the new S60 rear into the Bird.
- Get the Nano working properly.
- Run mid to low 11's

- New intake on the G8 and mayyyyybe a full exhaust. I've already got my 12's for the car but that doesn't mean I will completely stop modding it.

The new house is going to take up a lot of my $$ so I won't be able to do it all. We will see.

LTb1ow · 01-18-2009, 05:07 PM

-Get a 383
-Weight loss
-Tires
