like i stated you can't MAKE them fit. But hey I'll sugar coat it in the future for you.

 

oh lol i was like damn a 205!!

295 sounds much better lol and yeah my comp is sooooooo slow. i hate it lol especially since it takes so much to load these pages. what brand of tire you suggest then? just a goodyear or hoosier or what? does hoosier even make a street tire? im 99% sure they dont but thatd be sweet if they did lol.

 

Sorry I was wrong on the rear widths.

 

I used to run BFG Radial T/A's during the street days. Found those to be better than the original Goodyear Eagle GT's in the snow. I've had this car for 22 years and put 203k miles on it before dumping the 2.8/5-spd for the 400 sbc 4-speed set up then switched to an automatic trans during the bracket racing days. The 305 stocker motor came along after that.

 

a 275/60/15 stretched over a 15x10 with a 6.5" backspacing. this did require quite a bit of hammer "persuasion" and i had to cut the bumpstops:





hey steve...how much snow is on the ground up there in chicago land?

 

-7 for a high today we got about a foot right now, snow drifts and the piles from the plow trucks are probably 5 feet tall in some sections, other areas with a lot of salt down have maybe 2 feet along the roads in some spots.

 

its -16 right now in peoria. i bee outside all effing day loading up a old van to take to the scrap yard. its an easy 150 bucks. been out there since 8am though. debating on pulling out the 700r4 in it and selling it. what ya'll think?
----------
you ran a 6.5" backspacing?? what one should i go with guys? a 5.5" or 6.5"? on 15X10's

 

Go with the 5.5 b.s. it will be easier to fit.

 

BACK TO TOPIC!!!

 

post some PICTURES and take the squabbling and tire size BS somewhere ELSE!!!

 

thanks for all your help.

guess im sorry for takin over the thread with tire sizes??

my bad ya'll. thanks though guys!

 

Here's a pic of my Pure Stocker at United Manual Transmission Racers Association race at Mount Vernon, Ohio.

Now that looks like a handful!!

 

time to swap in an air bag, anti-roll bar, or shorten the drivers endlink on that rear sway bar to get it to leave evenly.

 

Just a rear anti roll bar will be a big improvement. There's a lot of power lost with that much body twist.

 

I would suggest an air bag in the RR with 25-30 psi. Also, you might want to disconnect the passenger side of the rear sway bar and place weights equalling your weight on the drivers seat. Then shim up the passenger side link so it places no preload on the bar.

 

very nice responses^^ now ill keep it going...

BA car. i like the three different wheels lol. how many horses you running to the rear wheels?

lol thats funny ....if u dudnt know better, u would think its the same car...lol

is that ur car in the pic?

 

Iv got a question or 10 about my turd. I have posted pics of me building my car. Its not close to be done and prob will never be done. Iv got a 500 Horse 385. Forged Eagle Kit. 12:1 I think. Its 93+ booster friendly. 262-262 dur. 630 lift cam, Bordix heads 750 Speed Demon..Build for the bottle. Does high 9in out of a pretty much factory weight GTA sould out of the questions on a 250+ shot. It will have see a 400 shot one day when I get brave and wanna spend a lot more money but for now at least a 250 shot. Maybe two staging it out of the gate so we dont blow the tires..I would love to see 9.9999 just once!

 

Yeah, I have had the car since 1994, has been a very slow paced project (something my father and I get to have fun with and spend time together). Good luck on the 9's goal. I'm just planning on mid 10's....any more than that and it's time to go by a real race car....(Altered)....

 

Yeah Im sure 9s out way out of the questions. Im sure Im good for High 10s low low 11s N/A. Also Trannys and rear end makes a big diff. I forgot to say Peformabuilt Stage2 700R4 33-3500stall and Moser 9in with 3:70s..thinking fo going to 4:11s but no higher..still a street car. Dad thinks its not out of the question but I dont know If Ill ever push it that car..Iv got for time in the paint work that I dont wanna fubar it up lol.

 

Just so you know, I have about half of the stuff you claim you have, ex.
I have, 383, 10.8 cr, 240's duration flat tappett cam, 195 cc heads, under 500 HP and only a 3200 stall. My times are in signature and I have been researching like crazy to see where a 200 shot will take me. I believe the 200 kit is going to go low low tens. And anything over is a trip to the 9's. The kit I will be using will be a Nitrous express kit which are known to be under estimated.

So if you have what you say you have you should be on the path to single digits with the right kit and the right tune.

 

If I'm using my track calculator correctly, you both should be in the high 9's with of course near perfect launches. Low 10's are more realistic, but should both hit 9's on good days.

Those are real good times fastls1 n/a! Flat tappet even! What heads?

 

Heads are AFR 195 eliminators, out of the box 65 CC. Timing at 34*, super comp's, 2.5 inch exhaust and 10 year old flowmasters, distributer is ready-to-run with no ignition box, carb is barry grant 750, pistons are flat top srp's, cam is flat tappett XE-284H(241/246 @.050, and .537/.540 lift with 1.6 rockers). converter is street/strip 3200 stall, 4.10 gears. Car also has t-350 with manual valve body, and leaving off idle. I think it has a 10.99 in it with better traction and more timing. Well see soon enough

 

 

 

Oh Iv got it..the motor was built by Boyds Racing in Norman Oklahoma..check them out they do A LOT of High HP Engines for Boats. Great guys! I had problems with my carb and he drove all the way from there to Lake of the Ozarks..were I live to bring me a new carb(6-7hr drive one way). Check my cardomain and I think I have a lot of picutres of the turd and my parts.
Fast LS1..I love your engine bay..looks bad *** Car looks sick..what size rear tires..What does everyone do for breaks..Im worried Im ganna have to run a big vac canister or maybe even a pump?

 

uve got to be kidding me ....BOYDS!!!!!

 

fast ls1...may i remind you that you have a beautiful car, and a very well thought out setup? very very nice.

buddy rice eng and kwik84...very similar but 2 fine examples of clean 3rd gen cars. sweet

 

Uh...yes please!!!

Very nice!

 

Whats wrong with Boyds Bud?

 

Fast Ls I had a 380 ci motor with the old 195 afr heads and a soild roller cam with pump gas the car ran 11.0s to 11.10s at 3400lbs with a 275 tune the car ran 9.70 at 140mph leaving soft 1.40 60 ft.

 

I will add another autocrosser.
13:1 350 Chevy with ported Bowtie Phase VI heads, Victor Jr intake, Holley 600 DP carb. Herbert Solid lifter Camshaft(.535 lift 246 degree duration at .050)12x16 Rims with 12x25x16 Hoosiers in the front and 14x27x16 rears. Stock 7.5 inch rearend with 3.42 gear and Torsen LS(Haven't broke it yet), Stock TH 350 transmission. Circle track springs, 1200 lb front 425 lb rear, stock sway bars, 3 link rear suspension. Subframe connectors, roll cage.

 

nothin bro

 

Here is what my car looks like about right now..Pic of the motor. I just painted it all base coat clear, oil pan matches the stripes on the car..First car only car until I blew it up..now its ganna be show/street/strip..all done by me and my dad other than the motor/trans. I did all the body and paint (when to school for that) and dad knows what bolts go here and there lol!

 

very nice^^

 

HHahaa NOW THATS A FRIGGIN INTAKE BOYS!!!

Nice car!! work looks real good

 

Team G baby!

 

I ran the mid-height Team G on my GTA for several years. The car ran high 11's on motor in a very heavy car.

 

FastLS1 I love the way your car sits and the looks. What is the back spacing on your wheels..Im ganna need some drag wheels..and they way yours set I LOVE IT!! Centerline makes a wheel I like..15-16 lbs Is that heavy **** idk Im just learning

 

What I have is the very standard 15x8's with the 4 3/4 bolt circle and the backspacing is 4.5 inch. The slicks are 28x11.5 I think which is a 9 inch tread pattern. The radials are 275/60/15's. I like the idea of the 15x10's but I don't feel like modifying anything to make them fit. Here is a picture right after I got the dual exhaust work so the pipes and mufflers aren't painted yet.

 

stage 20, are those the "import drag wheels" from weld?

 

they look like the magnum 2.0s or whatever the insanely priced ones are.

 

ah, they are why does every rim i like have to be SOOooooo expensive....?

 

........they sure are pretty though. i fell in love with that car a long time ago
