Re: Pics of Peoples cars
my slug. aka TOXIC Z.
still refining it. based on the measurements ive come across. im thinking of going twins. or "truck manifolds" tubular headers.
this manifold, version c5 cranking out 600+rw with tnetics t76. it works fine and uses 2.5 xover. and 3.25dp.38mm wg and stock 98-02 fbody manifold for driver side. but gonna start out with this setup to calibrate my fuel and ignition.going carb blow thru. but have option to run either.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Need you guys to post up a link to the best push rods for my tpi 350 with roller cam and lifters... stock ones are kinda out of shape and i figured it best to change them all rather than just one or two... isn't there also a way i will need to break them in?

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Just get a set of Comp Cams hardened pushrods for a stock 1991 350ci from Summit. They aren't that expensive and there is no procedure necessary to break them in (you have a hyd. roller motor).

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
I do not have a L98 in any of my cars right now, just a 6.0 LQ4 in my 89 with a pro form 750. And the 6.0 will bolt to a 700R4.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
I don't see your car anywhere in that picture, way to jack the thread Zane.
No, really awesome pic, I'm just jealous that even if my car was ready to run it can still only leave one black mark. & prolly not even half as long.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
I've had this car for about 6 months but am just getting it all cleaned up and ready for show. The Texas State Gathering was kinda its debut. For those who missed it:
Current Modifications (Stage 1):
SLP Siamesed Runners, Ported Intake, Adjustable Fuel Pressure Reg. 55psi., Ultra Flo Muffler. BMR 3 point Strut Tower Brace, BMR Steering Brace, BMR Outer Framerail Subframe Connectors, TDS Inner Frame Rail Subframe Connectors, UMI Torque Arm Relocator, Energy Suspension Front Swaybar End Links, Power Stop Cross Drilled front Rotors
Car Ran:
60ft 2.091
1/4 14.385 @ 95.71mph
Stage 2: Halfway done
ASP Underdrive Crank Pulley, Air Foil, CAI+Ram Air Scoop, 1.6 Roller Rockers, LS1 Aluminum Driveshaft
Hoping to see 13.7ish
Stage 3: Eventually.
Jethot coated Hedman Long tubes, dual high flow cats, 3" exhaust, single after cats
Hoping to see high 12's.
Anyway guys, theres the bird, and those are the hopes and goals. Am I crazy? Time will tell. I really want to get some pics of this car and a Black and gold IROC Z together. See you soon at future shows.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Ok now that the wifes bird pics are posted, I figure I can post pics of my 1988 Monte Carlo SS. This is my toy:
Mods:
Powertrain:
355 Engine, Scat Forged Steel Crank, Scat Forged H-Beam Rods, TRW Forged Aluminum Dished Pistons, 8.3:1 compression. Hamburger 7qt road race oil pan, Dart 215cc Platinum Heads. 2.055/1.625 valves. Crane Gold 1.6 RR, Crane 234/242 .574/.595 lift, Hydrulic Roller Camshaft timed to 0 degrees advance, Crane Retrofit lifters, True roller timing chain. Weiand Team G intake 3/4" plenum spacer. Holley 700DP carb. MSD 6AL, MSD Distributor, MSD SS coil, MSD Wires, Autolite Plugs, Hedman 1-7/8", 3 1/2" collectors. Flowmaster Deltarace 3-1/2" Mufflers true Dual 3 1/2" exhaust all the way back.
T56, Ram Clutch, 4.10's with Eaton Posi, stock 7 5/8" 10 bolt
Koni Shocks/Struts, 706 lb/in 2" drop front springs, 2" drop rear springs, 2" drop spindles, PST polygraphite front end bushings, 1 1/8" swaybar, 1" rear swaybar. BFG Rubber.
Eventually the car will have Wilwood brakes at all 4 corners w/ 17X9 wheels and 275/40/17 at all 4, a Ford 9" axle with 3.55, and a Whipple supercharger. I am looking to enter it into the Big Bend Open Road Race, 160mph class.
The engine is nearly finished, I just need a few more accessories. My wifes firebird KILLED my Monte budget though, so it might be a few more months before we take this out to shows. Until then, we have her Firebird.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Ok, last post and then I will stop spamming the forums. My daily driver/parts hauler:
1992 Chevy S-10 It aint that pretty, point in fact, its kinda ugly. But its been a wonderfully reliable truck, and it keeps the mileage off the other cars.

A power steering pump.
But like I said, all the $$ we had saved up was recently spent buying the firebird. So the monte buildup basically came to a screeching hault when we wiped out our bank account heh.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Dark Ember,
Glad to see you picked the formula, nice choice. I am a just a little partial to black formula's! Looking forward to seeing it sometime down the road.
Ok ya better add a stage 4 to your plan if you want to see 12's: heads, cam, lower intake
Not gonna get 12's without H/C. Well you could spray the **** out of it I guess.
I had 383, superam, afr heads, cam, long tubes..best was 12.60 if I remember right. that was with a 1.8 60' also.
anyway good luck with it , car looks clean.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
Yopu are probably right on the 12's thing. That car aint getting heads and cam though. Just wanted it to be a little better than stock, but no need to get that crazy. I am looking foward to showing it to you in person. Thanks again for letting my wife look at yours in order to finalize her decision on what she wanted in an F-body.

Re: Pics of Peoples cars
ok solved my own question... found the orifice tube which was blown and tells me that my compressor is crap... so buying both of them new and waiting for them to come in. also bought a replacement hood latch and changed out my push rods and reset the rockers finally. Blurped the radiator and checked out some lighting issues. Found some other things to add to the list while trying to brying the list to zero... ugh seems like the more i touch her the more i have to do to her... ontop of all that i lost my damn camera...
