I don't think there is any more ET to shave off without putting more money into it.

Insane! very impressive for a sprayed L98

ZONES89RS · 08-19-2009, 12:46 PM

Not bad, my carbed 160K L98 did 101 MPH but at 13.87. Even had a spun bearing!

How much spray?

Bullydawg · 08-19-2009, 01:04 PM

He is using a 150 shot...

Very impressive. What all do you have done to be running a 13.3 on motor? I looked at your car domain... With stock heads, intake, and cam, that is VERY impressive.

I plan to hit consistent high 12's with my car, then I am going to snag a 100 shot to get me into the 11's hopefully.

that 13.3 run was kinda a fluke. It only did it once. Its a consistent 13.5 car on the motor. Heres a vid that goes through the whole history of the car. Watch it in HQ.

I got footage on there from when it was running 14.6

Good job 2Q.

I hope to run my stock L98 next summer. Let's see what an ole' chebby with 175K miles on it can do eh?

Cheers...

For one thing, at 11.49, you need a roll bar.

2QUIK4U · 08-19-2009, 03:38 PM

11.99 used to be my goal back when roll bars were needed under 12.0

five7kid · 08-19-2009, 07:58 PM

Does that mean you already have the roll bar? Couldn't see it in your photos, and didn't see any mention of it in your write-ups. May have missed it, though.

Not yet. I still got most of the interior out, so im definately gonna do it before i put a new, (black) interior in it and make it nice again. I have a good buddy that works at a welding shop that specializes in roll-bars for Miatas and MG's etc. Do you know of any schematics or plans available on the net with dimensions?

Orr89RocZ · 08-20-2009, 07:37 AM

could buy the main hoop piece and fab everything from that

Think I saw you at the race for Day at Drags on Saturday. I had the black 88 camaro. You should get a new set of heads along with a nice converter and then try to break the 11.50 mark

Yeah, you're Mitch right? I put a vid up for you on youtube i think... I only race it once a year as of late. Im thinking about finally taking off a valve cover and getting some light weight roller rockers with a bigger ratio, along with some new springs. This should give me a few HP for another .2 maybe?
Anybody have ideas for my next mod? I can only spend about $500 max.

Orr89RocZ · 08-21-2009, 07:27 AM

1.6 rockers helped on my L98. That and abit of a tune and I think your car will move out well.

joeblue83 · 08-21-2009, 10:37 AM

a good converter will be around the 500 mark. I went from a 2500 to a 3500 vigilante converter and dropped .3 And it was worth every penny, and still works great on the streets

NICE video....Nice car
