ok, your point? does he drive it from whereever he is or is it a trailer queen.

tamatt27

I think he drives it. He drove it from the park to the Strip at the Nov 26th gathering I believe.
His T/A's one bad *****.

xtremeirocz

cool, maybe he will be at the meet, its cool to see bigblock 2nd gens and would be badass to see another badass car

TexasLT1

its only a "trailer queen" when its going to the track on slicks. if the engine isn't out of it by then, he'll be there, its my brother.

calereeves

Ummmm....yeah.......I'm definitely going to have to say that the car is the Anti-trailer queen.

The only time the car ever sees a trailer is when I go to the track on slicks. It takes too much time to pull the exhaust and change the tires once I get to the track, so I just do it all at home and trailer it for the hour and a half to the track.

I have the fuel bills to prove that I drive the car daily when I'm home. I have no qualms about driving it, rain, shine, or otherwise, distance doesn't matter.

The only reason I'd trailer it to this meet is if I decide to put the slicks on first, but then I'd miss the cruise. Being that HMP has electrical outlets in the pits, I'll most likely drive the car, and bring an electric impact for changing the tires out.




So to reiterate, NO, the car is NOT a trailer queen. Never will be either.

:hail:

That's my kind of car!!! The kind U can drive!!!

xtremeirocz

being on slicks doent mean its a trailer queen , i had my wifes running around on et drags to work for a couple months , i put the radials on the back so i wouldnt go flying into a wall. when i say trailer queen which i have owned before and hated them because all they were good for is the track is a car that cant go from here to the kroger without exploding or breaking. i know about 5 or six people who run around on et streets or drags and drive their cars everyday

xtremeirocz

you never heard of a four way or a ratchet, ive had to haul tires out to baytown and switch them and never thought a electric impact was a do or die deal

xtremeirocz

just drive the thing out there and bring the slicks , ill even help you swap them

TexasLT1

well good for them for wasting money.

xtremeirocz

most people who run et streets have to have them so they dont fly off the road when they punch their car, i know new years day driving the formula was scary as hell because everytime you wanted to get on it at all it was all over the road .

calereeves

Well, hey, good for you. I'd prefer to NOT get a ticket for driving on non DOT tires. And as far not sliding into things on the slicks, thats all about driver skill.

calereeves

Hey, xtremeirocz, sounds like you got a pretty quick car there. Whats it take to get that third gen into the low 7's in the 1/8?


Cale

xtremeirocz

et streets are dot

xtremeirocz

388, solid roller , th350 with 3500, 4:10's ,full suspension. i had a direct port 250 shot on it but didnt have the fuel system to support it or i could have gotten in the 6's easy

xtremeirocz

here is the dot on the et streets

xtremeirocz

ill try to find the timeslip, my mph was 97. somethin, my 60 foot was crap cuz i was on some bfg dr's, i could have gotten a ton more out of that setup before i took it apart to redo some stuff

TexasLT1

you yourself said et DRAGS, not et streets, you know thats what he was referring to

xtremeirocz

no actually i said et streets or drags, he then said he didnt want a ticket for non dot tire so i then said et streets are dot. thankyou come again

xtremeirocz

texas lt1 , i dont want to start any friction here and im sorry if i have stepped on your toes somehow

TexasLT1

you said you had et drags, which are NOT DOT rated, on your wife's car running to work for a couple of months. thats what his quote was in relation to.


obviously this is turning into a pissing match. seeing as how you have already mentioned it, I'll cool off as well. the only thing I ask is a race with my brother, I want to see the two beasts run

xtremeirocz

which car do you want to run your brothers car?

TexasLT1

yours

xtremeirocz

sounds cool , ill bring both so tamatt can run my wife

TexasLT1

badass, I look forward to seeing them, I missed them at the Christmas meet.

xtremeirocz

i only had her car at the new years meet, nye owned her

TexasLT1

oh ok, wasn't sure if yours was there or not.

calereeves

Haha...I like how matches get set up for me...but hey, sounds good. I'm up for running damn near anybody, its all good fun anyway.


The only constraint on me running at SFT is whether or not I have a motor in the car by then... I'm currently trying to sell my BBC setup so I can start on a new setup.

xtremeirocz

how much are you trying to sell it for and what is the story on it? ive got a friend building a swb truck and is trying to get a race ready bb

Barry85Iroc

Hope Rocky doesn't feel left out. If ya can't find anyone, Rock, I'll race ya.

calereeves

Heres the combo:

.030 over BBC (2 bolt, with ARP studs)
Scat Steel Crank (std/std)
"7/16" rods with ARP waveloc Pro bolts
Speedpro Forged Pistons (10.2:1)
Speedpro "Double Moly" Rings

Crane Hydraulic roller (.610/.632, 236/242 @ .050, 296/304 adv.)
Crane Energizer Aluminum 1.7 RRs
Comp 1 piece pushrods

781 casting heads, 2.19/1.88, full port by Halls Racing
Weiand XCelerator intake
Holley 850 double pumper


Crane HI-6 Ignition system, HEI distributor(with crane internals), HI-Fire coil

March Serpentine Pullies


TH400 with TransGo shift kit, modified valve body, custom 3500 stall(with anti-balloon plate and all).


The engine was fully assembled by Hall's Racing, who balanced the entire rotating assembly. I'm looking to get $5500 for everything, from serpentine pullies to the tailshaft on the trans, including the Crane ignition setup, and if needed, the 4 core radiator and electric fan with relay. Also includes the Holley Blue fuel pump with regulator. I can't think of anything else that could be included, but my goal is to provide everything necessary to pull the engine out and drop right into another vehicle, ready to run. Hell, if your friend wants to run some 28" tall tires, I'll even include some Auto/Drags with 28x10.50 ET drags. The only reason I'm selling is to move to something larger.

I think Pasky can attest to the fact that the combo runs quite well!

I'm gonna definitely have to call out extremeirocz...since nobody has posted here in a while...

xtremeirocz

cool, lets do it! i should have my stuff tunned and ready to go in time

tamatt27

Ko, I edited the list to add ya'll...and went ahead and called out Pasky

calereeves

Haha...works for me. That is, IF pasky is up to it :lala:

pasky

I hope I can make it. Just had to buy new piston rings, so if I get this thing running im gonna be driving 2 hours a night on the highway trying to break it in. Finally got the rods back on the car, waiting on a head and I can put it back together.

82esc

Hey, I need someone to race too! But I don't really know any of you yet, so I don't know how fast your cars are, so I don't know who to call out.

How about this... I'm calling out the 4 fastest...whoever you are!

Uh, who are you?

(hoping I don't bite off more than I can chew)

What does " '82 Camaro (Sort of)" mean?

So what kinda times are U running?

What kinda stuff are u running in your ride? spraying?

82esc

"Sort of" means that the only origional moving part is the drivers side window.

Not really sure. With my old motor it was running 8.0 @90 in the 1/8th. This one seems faster, but it is barely broken in and I haven't raced it yet.

Spray? Not right now... As for the rest... well, like I said nothing is origional.


How about you?

xtremeirocz

well since i sold my motor and am in the middle of a swap ill be out of any grudge matches fo now. ill still come out there for the show and should be able to get my car and my wifes out there for that.

Zap Racing

See sig below--but if you were running 8.0's and the new motor is quicker, don't look for me to pair off with U!!! I don't mind getting beat if it's close, but running somebody a full second quicker---I don't think so!!!

82esc, since extremiroc isn't running anymore, I'm sure my brother would be more than happy to run you He posts as calereeves, he's posted all the info about his car.

xtremeirocz

StephenGTA

TexasLT1
