stock turbo dsm can go up to 140 mph. but thoses speeds are insane everywhere but at the track.

 

stu this information i have recieved is from this site. from the 3rd gen site, my spedo only goes to 85 remeber this is a 84, they didnt start with 120 140 spedos till later models. so this is all based on the third gen information and well a 90 berretta v-6, which by the way those damn things are pretty quick.. his spedo went to 120, and his was burried while doing this. if you want to know where we did it so you can see how much road, look around on the interent the street is 128th it goes from urbandale to grimes. in grimes its called james, its just one big stretch of pavement. no cars, no cops (thank ***) i shouldnt be bragging about this because A. its ****in crazy to go that fast B. i sound retrarted.

 

no he doesn't



it gets worse.... trust me and it even came with a turbo

im sorry guy but i have 3.23 rear gears with the 700R4, i have had well over 15 miles of open high way no traffic.. yes im completely shure my old LG4 has made it to 135, infact i garrentee it. i know what its done..

I'm also sure your speedo is a little optimistic. and it doesn't matter what gears you have or what tranny the thing is you don't have the power to overcome the drag

 

by the way my little no cylinder motor could prolly smoke your car :-p

 

oh lord the 80/81 TTA. What a piece of ****. But IMO being boosted it had alot more potential than his car with factory parts. I've actually seen a few fast ones. However remember those cars had over 200 hp i think. might be wrong.


84TransAm305:

I sincerely doubt you went 135 in an LG4 powered thirdgen. I topped mine out at 110 with my friend's firebird right next to it so his higher speedo told me how fast I was going. My other friend was there to confirm it in his camaro. My LG4 made 130 rwhp with a flowstopper catback and a 14x3 open element.

 

135 in your car? How do you know that? Even if that POS motor COULD go up that fast how would you know? What's the speedo go up to?

Also, a LS1 isn't a 350 you tool.

 

yes it is. remember fly he knows what he is talking about and works on cars. he isn't as dumb as his first comment

 

LOL

 

LG4 cars were equipped with an awesome 85 mph speedo

 

That's what I "thought" but didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong.

 

And the thread is still open!!!

I just wanna whip out my small block and compare cubic inches!

And for the record, writing off your intelligence based on age should never be a proper excuse for anything.

Drive our here 84 trans am and I'll smoke you with my L03.

 

Smoke, shmoke.

 

I live kinda close to Iowa.

How bout you run your Trans am versus my Z28?

Better yet how bout that Eclipse I have always liked racing those cars because you never know if you will blow its doors off or it walks all over you.

 

How is this still open haha

 

As an example;

A stock LO3 (170hp and 255lb ft) will go 132mph (no more) with no headwind and a smooth road surface. This is of course without a limiter (which all '89 thru '92 TBI cars had). An LG4 (150hp) WILL NOT go 130+ in stock trim. Don't make me do the math to show you . Better yet, you do the math. It will be fun and will help you dispute other "top speed" arguments in the future. Top speed means nothing.

A stock LS1 has 346 inches of displacement. Who cares if people say 350. That is the cliché engine size that people use when talking about chevy motors. GM even calls it a 350 in some of their stuff. Not everyone knows the nuts and bolts of the Gen I, Gen II, GenIII and Gen IV small blocks like some of us dorks do (cough...me). I don't hold it against anyone. Just like my investor doesn't make fun of me if I mispronounce a fund.

This thread is dead and thus will be e-locked.
