Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Don't know if I qualify, but I am using fuel injection. Best of a 9.94@ 137 with a couple more tenths left in weight and traction.

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Oh I'm just having fun with y'all - Sorry to get this one off track.

There's definitely a different class between a stripped down FI 3rdgen and a fully loaded one still.

Feel free to start your own threads for fastest Carb, or FI + Smog, etc. ..Carry on. ..

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Sorry Jesse, but negative comments about disliking a thread + bypassing the swear filters is just not going to fly.
I'll let that last comment I edited slide.

If you have issues with an infraction folks, PM me, not within a thread.
I'm an equal opportunist Mod. Everyone gets the same treatment.

This is not a democracy. Either keep it positive and contribute, or post elsewhere.
I'm sure Travis' site, or 3GO will welcome any complaining, or swearing you'd like to vent.

Just doing as I'm instructed here, that's all.

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

The more things change, the more they stay the same.



How about the best gas mileage for an FI car? I would certainly lose that one. With the new rear end in Atlanta traffic I am getting 15 MPG and still doing 16 second quarter miles (I think).

Hey Del bring your T/A by & let me see if your car REALLY will pass a smog check, then we'll continue this thread...haha

As for all the others, its an automatic failure..If your on this board, I know you've already modified or deleted something.

As for MPG, you knew you werent buying a Toyota Prius, right?

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Haha, OK Mr. Ref.
Last time it was smogged was '06. Flying colors at a Test Only of course.
I've got a CARB # on everything required sir.

I won't incriminate myself with any more details, but a few minor adjustments and I could pass visual/sniffer just fine.

Not a concern anymore however.

I came to the realization long ago that if I wanted to keep most of the factory equipment/luxury options, I was going to have to sacrifice some speed.
Too tough to keep up with all the stripped down cars being built for the track, but I know there are plenty of others on here with fully loaded rides as well.

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Is this NorCal only or all of California?

I am at 12.80, Dyno Don is at 12.63, Vincent is at 12.41, and Allen is at 12.29, and all pass the sniffer. All 350 TPI's, and all motor, too. Who needs a stinkin' carb or a stinkin' LS1?

Re: Fastest 3rdgen w/ Injection

Ok, let's get back on track, not this pass smog BS. I know Joey's(Ramair) will pass the ACTUAL SMOG CHECK. As for the SoCal guys, I have not seen your car so, not sure if they pass. Just because it pass the sniffer doesn't mean it pass smog check. Now back on track.......mine went 11.86 (yeah I know it's slow), but still doing/need tuning......I NEED MORE SEAT TIME!!!!!!!!hahahaha

Mine is due for smog check in November, and Don's is due in February. My current combo passed when it was in Vincent's car last year. And yes it passed the ACTUAL SMOG CHECK as done by a state licensed smog technician. I dont know when the last time Allen had to do the smog check.

If you want to see my engine, go to youtube and look for videos by kevin91z28.
