Some big changes are being made to some of our combos. I'm still ahead of the ball game but who is going to catch up? Don't be suprise what you might see when I hit the streets again. One thing for sure is that I can't be caught.

Guest

Wow... you better get some big Brakes to stop that thing.

I still haven't figured out where they hid the nitrous on this thing...

Rumor has it the song "Chocolate Rain" was originally about Vincent speaking BS.



I just hope to beat my previous bests. I'm not worried about being the best, since my car is my daily driver.

Guest

Only time I need to beat is Ben's, Troys? In the 1/4 and Vincent through out time Im in for beating his 8 second 1/8th.

Dyno Don

Don may knows some of my tricks but that doesn't mean he can out do some of my tricks. Say James, are you going to get back in the thirdgen game? I miss beating you up on the streets.

Power to the people!

If we go to the meet next Summer with the 4th gen crowd at Fontana our club will provide some embarassment. I can't wait to be accused of using nitrous. Hahahaha.

Yep, you beat me up on the streets too bad you blew up your transmission and then you engine in the process. It was so much fun that I even let Mike take a couple free shots at you and take you down a peg or two. Too bad you never showed up at the track those times like you said you would...it isn't any fun when you bring your mom's stock car to the track....LOL.

Well come spring time perhaps I will be able to get back into the ring and make you guys redo your combos to be competitive...LOL.

Sp Julie was accused of having Nitrous for her car? Was this at the track, by a passenger, or after a little street rump?

"Well come spring time perhaps I will be able to get back into the ring and make you guys redo your combos to be competitive...LOL."

With new heads and cams on the market such as the AFR Elimators your job will be easier. However I'm looking forward to the challenge. Don probably has the best exhaust in the market.

VincentZ28

When ever you are ready James with your thirdgen. I'll be waiting.

As far as my tranny goes, it is now stronger than ever. The oldest thing in the tranny is 5th gear. No more stock worned out parts.

Mike only had one lucky shot and won by half a car lenght with the best tune on your car. My car wasn't dyno tuned yet. All the other times you and Mike had gotten ya'll asses whip by me on the streets and on the FWY.

As far as my engine blowing up, that was just a broken valve spring and bent valve. I never had that problem again.

This time around James you will have to earn the rights to get to the top. Right now there are at least 5 people you will have to go through before you get to me. Start from the bottom then work your way to the top.

james_85Z28

Ha...my car was never dyno tuned. My car was never on a dyno without the air filters in place. Every chip I made for my car was the best tune it had and every chip it ran was used for both its daily driving duties and for the racetrack. No special tunes. No special chips. I did what it did.

I just wish the racetracks were as accessible and fun today as they were back in the early days of Fontana.

Hey guys can I play with you? I know I am nor-cal. but you have way cooler cars down thar. I will be ready by next spring

Hey Travis some of us are just running 355"s with TPI. You are in a whole nether league. Maybe we will have another Bakersfield meet next year for a get together. I like the set up at the track.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

Hey Allen! I know your not scared of a car with a little more cubes are you? I beat up on 383's and 406's with my 355cu. ****** them out the hole and you will be alright. If not, oh well! You can't beat them all!

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

I know, I break the rules regarding smog. But I know when my car is running, I will be damn eager to get some miles on the Iroc, and so cal sounds like so much fun! As soon as I am confident the car is truly a street car and I can make long trips without worry.

JERRYWHO

I break the rules also, You know the the Rule you can't be faster then them.....

Drop on down and we can have a good race.

Bring it on down. I would love to beat up on some NORCAL guys since most of them did not show up at Famoso(Bakersfield) Raceway.

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

I see a lot of improved cars on the horizon. Should have an easy 10 second car in the mix, a few in the 11 second bracket and some in the low 12's. Then some more in the mid and upper 12's.

One of the unkowns will be Troy's GTA. Lot's of potential but we will have to wait and see.

Then there is James. Will he or won't he?

Can't forget Ken. He has been making noises about another 3rd Gen. His last one had a lot going for it.

Kevin91Z

iTrader: (1)

I dont think we will be ready before the end of the year, but watch out for next year. With all the thirdgens for sale lately, Ken and James could get back into this.

No nitrous, but Allen meant we will be running so fast at the LA Invasion, the 4th genners will think we are using nitrous.
I hope the NorCal guys come down for this event.

InsaneIROC

Yep one of the cars I think will be in the 11 second bracket. By the way I have the intake system you should have on your car. I think I will bring it to the October meeting at Rickies and Ronnies. I should be pretty much done with it by then.

Guest

On car or????

Grey Goose

I can neither confirm nor deny that Jimmy is planning on getting back in the game however he and I got together last night for a couple of cocktails last night and a certain someone had a couple of autotrader magazines in the back seat of his superfantastic wasabi mobile with a handful of two tone 85 & 86 Z28’s circled. All I know is that if this boy decides to build another third gen, it will definitely be an e-ticket ride.

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

Off the car. I still have some things to do and I figure another 4 weeks or more. Might have it reflowed again, still some machine shop work to do, got to have the manifold shaved to match the heads and then I have to get the underside of the manifold coated. Those things eat up time.

I would expect it to flow in the 310 to 320 cfm area from the previous 301cfm out of the box. I did not open the ports up very much as they were already close to the tuned size I need for my motor to operate best in the 4400 to 6200 rpm range. Mostly worked on the 2 1/2 percent taper.

I have the runner opening side of the intake manifold at 1.85". It would be no problem at all to go to 2.00" or larger if the application called for it. The First Injection intake manifold and the SLP runners are a good match in the since that you can do a lot with them.

Guest

Nice. Mine are only a touch above 1.75... being fed by 1.47 (or less) runners

Keeping that CSA all the way through?

1989GTATransAm

iTrader: (3)

No. It goes from 2.68csa to 2.21csa at the head. Then to 2.05csa at the pushrod pinch area in the head.

With the proper SLP's you could increase the 1.75" at the runner to 1.8" with say 3" of runner inside the SLP's with the rest siamese.

In other words you would have the SLP's match your 1.75 at the manifold and then taper up SLP runner to 1.8" or so at the end of the runner inside the SLP.

james_85Z28

Hold on there hombre, I'm just crunching some numbers right now and deciding on whether or not it is worth it to get back in the game just to destroy a few egos. My truck should be complete and perhaps even back in Tejas in another month or so. That gives me time, garage space, and then I certainly have the capitol to produce a consistant, first class, epic project car if i deam it a necessary.

Guest

So that means more less your going for it. We know your looking, just call the shot and say Yes! It's not always just trying to take the top, It's having a super nice 3rdgen to drive.

So Vincent open to run the bigger cubes, so next year will see who really has the fastest street car. My goal this year to beat his 1/8th 8.00. I think I can do it.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

Excuse me son! The car went 7.97 in the 1/8mi.

Some people don't rely on mother nature for air pressure. They make there own air pressure and even cool it.

So hows your ground clearance?

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

It went 90mph in the 1/8.

This is a small block chevy thing. Not no damn turbo! A friend of mine is look for you with his Grand National.

I don't know what all the smack talk is about, Vincent was making statement not a question.

"JerryWho will stay on top by the end of the year?"

I think he just forgot to type the Jerry.

It actually hangs no lower than the stock unit. In the pic the stocker doesn't have the scoop on it which hangs down quite a bit.

Guest

90 mph in the 1/8th that's going to be hard, I gotta find my time slips and see what my mph is.
