will did you get that job yet?

i officially ordered my stealth ram tonight. will have it ready to dyno on the 16th!

 

Lol who are you talking to? Drunk already?

I'm curious as to how much of a difference that Stealth Ram is going to make to your powerband, should be quite a leap in the right direction lol

 

yes definitely, that first sentence was to WILL. and the second sentence ment I Will be at the dyno!

 

oh there is a "will" in there. Yeah im drunk too, welcome to the fun! Heh heh had some TAKILLYA left.

 

What's up Tony, I am the Will he was talking about. lol, someone has started the party early, and it's not even the weekend yet.

 

Woo yeah, par-tay!

 

*** i have a hangover

every night is party night for me. except tonight, I work tommorow

 

I found out I have a 305. stamp 201 on the block says it all. Just great, I have the worst performance oriented configuration, an auto 305 It is time to save for a manual conversion. I'm pretty pissed that the owner lied, but oh well nothing i can do now.

 

That sucks that you were lied to.The 305 isn't too bad I had mine at 15.5 with just the american thunder cat back.A little work and you'll be in the 15's.

 

Damn I'd be pissed!

At least you have one of the fastest LB9's ever made.

 

It's all good Robby. You could always save your money and put in a 350. I would keep the auto tranny, but that's my 2 cents. Atleast you have TPI.

 

Crossfire is OK too I've heard

Just save you nickels and dimes for a 350 done to the max and when ur ready swap it!

 

thats cool the lb9's got good heads get them ported and a cam full intake and full exhaust and you'll be in the 13's

 

Work with what ya got for now, new engine dreams don't sound like they are in your new future.
I knew that had to be a 305, it would've had to been really messed up to be a full second + away from normal.

 

well...we all feared the worse robby

sue the seller


my seceret mod is super ram

and its sitting next to me me and traviz are going to put or intakes on at the same time


my car is ready for the road again got her all fixed up nice and new.... everything is fixed so im happy again

 

sux about the 305.. so its still slower then what it should be though... get new injectors still. maybe the previous owner just got the crappiest crate 305 he could get.. prolly from kragen or something lol

 

Remember Robby, it's still a small block chevy, Terrell has the right idea.

 

my aunt was tired of living in the shadow(or rear view mirror) of me and my mom, so she decided to step up her car game

2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

 

Nice ride.
'01 huh?
I wanna race it!



Those were on par with the TA/SS of the year as far as hp, but not in torque.
Wonder what it runs in the 1/4, high 13 at the worst?
I usually see the crappy pre 99 Cobras, or new ones that I don't stand a chance against.

 

yeah you can really tell its lacking the torque to really move a sports car and a vert but it can move, took it up to an effortless 90mph merging onto the freeway and I have to say its a nice fast car

 

The 01 cobras weren't too fast.An ss or ws6 would take one down.They weren't super charged but I think they had pi heads and a different cam.Not a bad ride though for sure.I think they're high 13's,could be wrong though.

I also just sold my mustang for 1,000 bucks.I wanted 2,000 but since I'm moving I figured I just wanted it outta here,no shipping parts,hauling the carkus(sp) away.Oh,well,I got the 6,000 I wanted out of it.

 

Yeh, like I said, on par with the ponies, but the lack of 20- 30lbs of torque seems to be all that separated them from the
ws6/ss that were running mid 13's guaranteed or better.

I wonder how much over 300 my flywheel hp is, if at all.
I figure if Alex was knockin' on the door in the 290's, I should be just a little over.

 

Nice ride Terrell. Is she going to let you drive it?

 

bring it to a meet for us to all beat

 

I've driven it a couple times if we meet next weekend I may bring it out its cool to drive but I still need to get used to the driving position its like driving a truck Im used to driving the Iroc and the vette which both have you sitting low but the mustang you sit pretty high its like your sitting on the car instead of in it

 

lol, ya I also like the sitting positions of the chevys better. For sure bring it out next time we meet if you can.

 

I found the car I want to buy.If he still has it in a month,I'm all over it.Best of both worlds.https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=294483

 

oh hell ya man im all for that, id really love to see you keep it 3rd gen.

 

That is a steal at $10g's.
He seems like he might even go a bit lower.
You'd be smoking most cars on the road, 'vettes/new cobras included.
360@ the wheels = 425+ flywheel hp, amazing.
Mid 12's if you could drive it.
I've talked to a couple guys with the LS1 swap in 3rd gens and 1 guy in an rx8, they've all been pleased.
That would definitely be a head turner, from the inside/out.

 

DO ETT!!!

 

That car is sick Steve, you have to buy it. As Del said, $10g's is a freaking steal, I have that much into my car and it doesn't come close to that car. I was thinking of painting my car hugger orange, now that I have seen it on a thirdgen I really like it and will keep that color in mind. Keep us updated Steve.

 

I like the color you have on your car now Will. But you can paint your car whatever color you want of course.

Keep the Hugger Orange for the Firstgens IMHO.

 

It is a steal!I figure,if I get that,I'll have some money left over for some nice smoothies or something and still have about 8 g's left.I just hope he still has it when I'm ready.I will be all moved in about 3 weeks so it won't be long after that.
Keep it grey Will,I like grey and silver on these cars,looks clean.If I get that camaro I will probably do it chrysler platnum.

 

Steve-

What about that wicked looking g.n. pic you posted earlier?

I want the g.n. for $10k.

 

I have been going back and forth with all these sweet *** cars to choose from.I have settled on an ls1,wether it be in a third or a fourthgen.Plus my wife says the gn looks like an old man car and if we were to get one then we'de have to move to L.A.

 

third gen with the ls1 thats just plain sick

 

I think Grand Nationals are ugly.
The 3.8 Turbo Buick motor however, is beautiful.

I like the idea of the LS1 swap, but wouldn't necessarily want to drive a car that somebody else put all their ideas/work into
inside/out already.
That's a beautiful car, but I guess I wouldn't feel a connection to it.
I guess that doesn't make sense to most folks.
Sure you could paint it, but that'd be silly over a nice job already.
As I think some of us have learned, once you invest so much $ into our cars, it's hard to find somebody who wants it exactly as we've made it for what we want for it.
This guy has put 20G's into the car and already dropped it $4000 from what he first asked, to half that.
For that reason it is a steal no matter how you look at it, and I'm sure you could change it around a bit to your liking and still retain the value that LS1 brings it.

 

you better talk to him now so he can reserve it for ya

 

LS1 + 3rd gen = That is definetly a nice car and the price is right too. Someday there will be an ls1 in my car

 

Although I agree with you Del, because he would be getting such a deal on the car Steve could use the extra money to customize the car to him and his liking, that's what I would do. Buy that car Steve.

 

I'm going to get ahold of him and send him a couple thousand to hold it for a month.It will get my custom touches as the engine and tranny would be what I already wanted so that wouldn't need to be changed.I will do rims and looks like I'd need to lower it a tad.4th gen seats(after sitting in Alex's car it's a must).I'm sure nobody felt a connection to their car when they first got it but after some allterations and few mods they did,same with this,no point in me spending the $$$ and busted knuckles if I can find one already done.Don't get me wrong,as with any car I will be doing some changes and some other mods but right now I don't really want something I have to dump a lot of cash into,just something that's a blast to drive and looks great.

 

true true.
and you know the shiet was done right because bruce at hawk's had a hand in the swap.
git 'r done.

 

Umm, I still want the g.n.

I wouldn't sell the money pit to get it though....just get it and add it into the mix!

 

lol

 

Screw the G.N., I agree, it's ugly but nice under the hood. Go with that thirdgen Steve.
