Comin home from work yesterday a 85 (same year as mine) firebird stopped next to me at a light.( the guy works across from my work , his car is a 3.1, he talks non stop about how great of a motor it is) Revved his engine a couple of times. I ignorred him at first but when i got to the next light he looked right over at me and did it again. So I just kept my eyes on the light, when it changed I didnt stomp on it instead i pressed the pedal almost halfway down, he poped the clutch and chirpped a tire After my car stopped spinnin the tires ( I need larger tires VERY bad) I went approx two tractor trailor lengths infront of him with half a pedal left and stayed there to the next light. When he got there he wouldnt even look over at me. I cant wait to go to work monday and hear his excuse. Hes one of those v6 guys who thinks the v6 cars handle better (even though he cant keep up with me on the turns on the way to work) and are just as fast as the v8s.

Funny thing is his car has "nos" stickers on it. Flowmaster sticker on the window,wide rear tires with very skinny front tires.No muffler ( dont ask me why he has the flowmaster sticker) And is slow as hell!

This hasnt been the first race since we did the motor swap but it is the funniest!

why did he swap a 2.8 for a 3.1 ???? the 3.1 is not all that better.

my 3.1 better then a 5.7 durp

yea we got some v6 guys just like that around here. Theres one who has a 1998 camaro 3.8 auto.no mufller and a huge wing its a ricers sport not a rally sport a ***** sport .i was in my 1982 base model with a 350 trans and 400 small block built .my car has a bigg *** cam so he thinks it a p.o.s thats just missing so he revs up.light turns green so i slam it burned the tires threw 1st 2nd cherped 3rd at 90mph i had him by like 6 or 7 buses i still dont know how much power this 400 small block has i have not dynoed it yet .i didnt build this one i just paid for it like this.

He said he put it in because the 2.8 blew and he got the 3.1 for $600 and besides "ITS A STROker"

He says hes gonna buy a "NOS" kit and go to the track and run 12's I told him about this site. He'd fit right in with the v6 section.

He has said in the past he could "smoke my car because it weighs more with the v8 in it" Nevermind that i have alot more hp and tq then he does.

About your 400. If you dyno it you'd probably be surprized. A friend of mine has a 400 and while it doesnt have a huge amout of hp the tq number is nutts.

yea but if i had a blown 2.8 a 350,355, 327,383 stroker a real stroker or a 400small block would take its place. not a stroked 3.1 like whats the point in strokeing a motor that small. when u could upgrade to a small block for better sound and speed.

br()bert

Exactly. I said the just about the same thing to him and first he said "well it was only $600" Then i said "well i paid $300 for my rebuilt motor and trans from someone who thought I couldnt use it without the tpi harness"
Then he said " Well my v6 car weighs less and is better for racing and once i get my NOS kit ill be in the 12's"

Kids a die hard v6 dope.

1981z28

yea it so good for races he has to have n.o.s so he can beat other cars.

He should really consider a 3.8 Turbo then....
