Who did the porting on your superram? I want to get my runners ported like that... And what is up with the bolts in the plenum? Did you thread the runners?

Sweet dreams Vincent. That SuperRam looks like it might flow some serious air. That is quite a porting job. By the way you better start counting sheep as my Yank PT-4000 torque converter arrived today. That should be a prefect match to my new motor.

Sorry for weting your bed with your girl!

Vince and I have known each other for about as long as you are old. Now if Vince could drive as well as he talks **** then he could actually have a shot at the top spot but until then, I’m going to have to keep driving his car for him…

Now as for you, you are a little post *****. You will post on absolutely any thread in order to get your post count up. You don’t know me, you don’t know Vince and you certainly don’t know the particulars of our association with each other. So until you have something of technical significance to contribute to one of our threads or we become the best of friends please resist the temptation of the one word post.

Thank you

DeathMetalTony

Well Senior Grey Goose,

Yeah I might not know you or "others" I thought he was talking smack thats all I have come across threads were people are going on it over and over agian thats all. So I dont know why para que la ases de pedo?

i was thinking of doing a simular motor setup, but went a completely different route. ive always wanted the motor im building now ever since i went to a car show back in 87. if i build it and doesnt run the way i like, ill probably do a different setup. i now have full length headers. ill have to get an updated pic, but the weather needs to calm done here. your engine looks real nice

Vince,

Your motor / intake looks very nice, I'm sure it'll be a great performer.

My only night nightmare lately has been about my lil' 350 sucking the fuel tank inside-out

Looking forward to the next dyno day, track day, and to emissions inspection in October

Mira mijo… par eses chulo sin ‘H’! Ya guey vente a dormir porque te pagan…

Little man, you aren’t tall enough to dance with me so don’t try. I don’t have a problem with you or your ‘crew’. As I stated before you guys are welcome to join us at any of our events, meetings, or bbq’s. There are literally thousands of other threads on the board you can build your post count up on. Please don’t do it here.

The one word post, and just the typed word can sometimes not give the whole story or the actual thoughts of an individual when given... This is similar to textin' to one another.. There can be confusion @ times in the translation of whut a person is tryin to express.. In those typed words...

So I understand Mikes position on that subject, and would eliminate confusion and/or other mis-communications...

Yo, Vince!

I dig your set-up... Looks good. I'm slowly(@ a turtle pace! lol!) goin' to get to my end result (before hell freeze's ova!). So one day I can snif the list on the other board.. Good Luck wit the project.

Hey Senior Grey Goose

- Mira mijo… par eses chulo sin ‘H’! Ya guey vente a dormir porque te pagan… ( pagan ) you mean pegan? Pinche vato menso.

Anyway's im not little as you think dude im 6'2 so that aint little as you call it. And thanks for the invites and as I have told you before your events there always on saturdays which I work and the some of the people that are in the crew as well since we all work in the same place. Also im not trying to build my post count I could care less about it so just to let you know.

Gracias. Tony.

Grey Goose

Dude, are you serious with this? You are the last person that should be talking about spelling or grammar. My native language is English, not Spanish whereas I have a sneaky suspicion that your situation might be the exact opposite of mine and I’ll be the first to tell you that I don’t have command of the written word in Spanish. The only reason I answered you in Spanish was to prove a point. That point being that you can’t have an edge on me no matter what language you attempt to use.

Pobre guey… My ‘little man’ reference was a metaphor in reference to your general lack of life experience, lack of command of the written word, and your blatant inability to not only comprehend but tactfully respond to my posts. It had absolutely nothing to do with your physical height. Even at 6’ 2” you are a mental midget in comparison. I am not insulting you; I am merely stating a fact that is based on the content of your many many posts. Again, this is strictly based on what you have written on TGO. I have never met you in person so there is no way for me to know if my assessment stands true in person. Ok, now let’s tackle the ‘dance’ reference. Again another metaphor… ‘Dance’ as in the exchange of words between you and I. I hope this clears everything up for you. Tony, stop embarrassing yourself. Let it go buddy...

I get the Saturday thing… However we have a huge meet this Sunday in Irvine that you guys could come to. Tell your boy to hit Pep Boys and pick up some coil spring spacers for about $20 and that will lift the front end just enough to keep the oil pan from scraping the road. They can be installed with a simple floor jack and a flat head screwdriver in about 5-10 mins per side. You guys have some great looking cars and it would be nice to have some additional third gen representation.

injdinjn

Yeah, real nice engine - orange w/black valve covers and no name heads.
At least you could clean up the front pulley or do the rest of the accessories match the pulley.

TA

iTrader: (1)

What name brand the heads/valve covers/pulleys are do not make the dyno needles swing. Get the guts right, external stuff can be swapped out later if the fashion police bust you too badly...

DeathMetalTony

Hey Grey Goose,

Alright, alright no more going on this not sure if im emberassing my self or not but hey its all good. Yeah your knowledge about these cars is beyond i am sure of it i only know a third of what you know probobly. I respect you even though I have never met you either way.

Thanks for the compliments on our cars I'll tell Miguel if he wants to go still cause I wouldnt want to go if im going to be the only one going it will be not that great i guess and perdon for the smack.

Tony.

So Vincent did you go with the Comp Cams 280 XFI or are you not at liberty to say? lol

iTrader: (5)

I would like to know if you threaded the runners also!!

89 TA

What are talking about micky? He gonna give me driving lessons when I get my car to Kevin for tuning. In his defense, I remember many moons ago when he got Don nervous off the line. member you member. He Vince the Drag'in Master.

89 TA

my bad.

Grey Goose

RAUL! Long time playboy!!! I just playing with Chente… I hate to admit it but yeah he can drive. I remember the day it was James, you, Vince, and I at Fontana dialing in your TA and Jimmy’s Z28. That was the day that your shift **** flew off while Vince was making a pass. Anyone else would have freaked out and shut it down. Not Vince, he stayed in it and if my memory serves right that was the best pass of the night! LOL, man that was awesome!

Speaking of Don being nervous… I still have the time slip when he got a 3.0 60’ to my 1.6. Some people say that he blew the tires off on purpose because he didn’t want to risk losing to team bunny. Others say that I got in his head so bad before we lined up that he just plain blew his wad. Whatever the case, we had a blast that night. Besides… whoever heard of a professional drag racer laying down a 3.0 60’ anyway!? Love you Don!

injdinjn

Alzheimer's has set in again, who is it that always red lighted against me?

Grey Goose

Please… I red lit on almost everyone that I lined up with in Jimmy's car. I will tell you now like I told you then. When I/we am/are data logging the last thing I care about is cutting a light. All I/we cared about was 60’, 1/8th ET, 1/8th MPH, 1000’, ¼, and MPH. We were there to tune utilizing the 1320’ that was provided to us not run brackets. Now, if we were running brackets it would have been a different story.

injdinjn

My Alzheimer's is getting worse

Grey Goose

No way buddy… you are way to sharp too have Alzheimer’s and much too ‘frisky’ for dementia. So let’s be honest, what was your favorite color paint chip as a child?

injdinjn

I liked the stuff that turned silver when you drug you teeth across it.
I also liked making silver coins shine with that silver stuff that rolls around in little *****.

Grey Goose

You're out of control!

injdinjn

BTW you seem to be on the net more since the hooks pulled out.

Hey, Vincent is that the block out of the 90 Iroc? Or from your old Camaro?

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

That engine has been out of my old 86 Z28 for 2 years. Now it is in the 90 IROC(your old car).

in just a couple of days and it will be running and maybe make it to the meeting on Saturday. Oh by the way, the 280XFI cam is in.

supermariobros

damn thats one mean looking set up, thats some pretty bitch'n porting. How much power a you aiming for?

injdinjn

Thats better. We will white glove it if it ever makes it to a meeting.

"thats some pretty bitch'n porting"

I was thinking the same thing. That car ought to fly.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

Somewhere between 380rwhp-410rwhp peak around 6000rpms.

Grey Goose

Vince, STOP you're killing me!!! I'm think a more realistic number would be 360-370HP...

89 TA

I beg to differ my fellow compadre. you probably missed the CHEVROLET valve covers. those should be good for an extra 20hp. so that should put him at 380 to 390hp.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

The nightmare is finish and running. Sorry but I can't do videos with my iPhone.




Right now it is running off of Don's chip. The 280XFI cam has a mild lope and it's quiet through the Hooker Maxi Flow muffler. I had to test it one time and it pulls smooth and hard up to 6400rpms. It will be ready for dyno day.

Good news. It will make for an interesting dyno day.

Vincent,
Where is your idle set? Sounds a touch high (higher than factory anyway) or is that a cold idle? Makes me want to step up to the 280 over the 268.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

It's about 800rpms but it's not tuned yet.

""""""""""Your worse nightmare is home now.......""""""""""""

Oh no!

thegooseman

Really, what tune are you running? I would imagine that setup would be to much for a stock tune. Especially thats its not a maf car.
