I have an 85 TA with the LG4 305... I have s small cam bigger than stock though...398/420 at the valve not at the cami have a weiand dual plane midrange intake an Edlebrock 600 4 brrl, no cat and a flowmaster 80 series which if you cut open is the same as a 40 just sideways my car doesnt spin of the line it just hooks .. i have a 700 r4 with 3:08 gears if i m not mistaken ... i can stall a lil over 1200 without breaking traction... the guy i wanna race has a 93 3.8 V6 with slight mods..cam..heads shaved 30 thou. with a five speed manual .. it is an 86 firebird. i think he has 3:42 gears.... can i win????????????

 

There was no 3.8 in '93, but regardless, if it's a newer 3.8 with the mods listed you should lose.

 

oh great lol.... how badly would i lose??????, and i just checked hes got a 3.4

 

the 3.4 comes with 200hp factory your about 200 with your mods...i would still say his would take you

 

The 3.8 comes with 200hp doesn't it? Not the 3.4...isn't the 3.4 a 160hp monster?
A 3.4? It should be close...ram him off the road if it is to close for comfort! lol j/k

 

Besides...He has a 5 speed. Good luck.

 

Ive driven a 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.8. The only worth a damn is the 3.8. The rest are slow, slower and slowest.

 

 

ok thanx everybody but back ttt..... can i win????????

 

he is askin if he can beat me, its an 86 FB M5, with a rebuilt 3.4/ported polished and shaved heads, cam is .440 lift and 212* at .050 lift, headers, side pipe with a dynomax cat and no muffler. Ported and polished intake manifold/plenum and TB. car has the stock 3.42 gears and i got a spec stage 2 clutch. there is no A/C or smog,windshield washer system . Royal Purple fluids in diff/trans/motor. and i got a bunch of other odds and ends, there are no options on this car, its cloth interior, manual seats and windows. The motor isnt in the car at the moment, so as of now, the 305 can beat me pushing me car

 

I think it would be a good race let us know how it turns out.

 

Ehh i think it'll be close.

 

sad thing is were going to be roomates in about a month

 

Jeez, why dont you just go race him? Instead of asking "can I win" over and over. Both of you have extremely slow cars, so who cares? If I had an LG4, I wouldnt race anybody. Its your car, your license, do what you want.

 

My bets on the LG4. It should have at least enough low end torque to keep ahead of the worked over 3.4 car. 5 speed or not!

 

ya know what i asked becuase i wanted sumtin to talk about i was curious about it and would have raced him by now if he had a motor in his car.... plus were not Roomates yet.. we are going to be roomates soon .. ok so no disrespect.... but dont disrespect me that way and so what i have an LG4.... its a right sight faster than when got it ok...it not that "extremely slow" just cause im 18 and dont have money out my @$$ to go build 4 different cars.... i m making the most out of the hand i was delt.. and if you loked at any other threads by me you would see that im not enjoying my 305... thats why i am building a 350 with the help and input from other members here......... oh and i race because i love it, not just to win

 

There's nothing wrong with racing a slower ride as long as you know it's slow and don't act cocky because it's an "American V8!"

Have fun, I think you'll win. You should have more torque than he does. And I know your pain of owning an LG4, as you can see in my sig I owned an 85 when I was 18 too lol.

That LG4 did one hell of a burnout if I peeled out to the right. I burned that tire till it damn near popped lol

 

thanx man... for real

hey bro no disrespect at all but what are you talking about.... ?? lol you lost me .. whats that got to do with me and the otha firebird lol.... seriously i mean no disrespect

 

Yeah he lost me too.

 

sry bout that moral of story dont think its a dog becouse of engine dissplasment be very aware im stoc hes not just somthing to keep in the back of your mind hope you win of course

 

You're an *******.


85T/A we're in the same boat. 18 with 305's. But you're right bro, ya just gotta make do with the hand your dealt. Good luck with the 350. Make it a beast and show this pansy-*** over here what's up.

 

being 18 with a 305 aint all that bad. try being 18 with a 3.1 bird and all your friends have 305 birds...makes you feel real slow. not any more tho, the l98 makes short work of them now.

 

Hell I want another 305 car to play with

 

or you can be a 18 year old with no car! or occasionally bum a ride with friends who dispise you for using them for that sole reason or use your moms car! :-p

 

thanx yawll lol appreciate it all

 

Or you buy a 305 car, "accidently" blow the motor and find a good reason to pick up a 400sbc for 200 bucks and make a beast.

 

i bought my 350 for 100 bucks

 

There is nothing wrong with 305 power ! lol, I think most people on here have been in those shoes a time or two. I bought my 83 Z and it had a bone stock LG4 motor in it and I built that up first just to annoy people by losing to a 305 and because of that ol' saying "anything can happin in a street race" I beat a 427 chevelle SS. He couldn't drive well and I had been running my 305 for quite a while. I got him by half a car he was so PISSED lol. He couldn't believe that it was a 305. Just ask MW66NOVA on here he ran a 305 and got some really nice times out of it!
