Im getting my tax return check pretty soon and im thinking about getting slp diff,3.42 gears, control arms,relocation brakets , and slp 1 3/4 headers, what u guys think my 1/4 mile will be i realy wanna take my friends stock mitsubishi 3000gt stick i think like 222 hp, im thinking like low 15s like 15.4 maybe??

 

man..with my car..i put headers, full exhaust, rebuilt the whole engine, bigger cam, 1.6 full rollers, hypereutectic pistons, etc. and u know what it dynoed at saturday??!!??!! a measley 163.5 hp a nd 280 torque....thats f***** HORRIBLE!!! no chance on the 3000gt dude.

 

damn realy thats only like 195 hp out the flywheel i was thinking headers, catback exhaust , filter would get my car to about 200 hp flywheel, wiht gears and posi id kil him off the line he spins all threw first gear, and the 3000gt weighs like 300 lbs more than mine, what kinda cam u got in it now, and u still running stock heads cause lo3 heads flow likke $hit.

 

lately ive been getting pissed at my car...so slow and doesnt seem anything but a motor swap will help it...im about to go the route all my buddies did....5.0.....

 

oh yea true i got a motor for it but i wanna get everything set before i buy the heads and intake for my rebuilt 355, cause the 273s are pretty sad and the 355 will be sufficated with stock manifolds thats why me just gonna get slp headers and gears before i go and swap engines. My engines only got like 93,000 miles so me probably gonna swap it next year.

 

heads heads heads and more heads. Thats whats gonna make the difference. Save up for some good cylinder heads.

 

i kept the same heads except shaved to 58 cc combustion chambers, 2.02/1.60 valves, titanium springs/retainers, ported them myself, 3-angle valve job

 

so any good gueses on ets, mods being catback exhuast,3inchcat,3.42gears,slp diff,shift kit,control arms,slp 3/4 headers,and control arm relocation brakets

 

when I put headers on my car the major difference I noticed was that my car didnt feel like you poured water in four cylinders after 4500 RPMs. I shifted the car (automatic) into second that same day at 5100 RPM (on the freeway) and the car just felt better. I can image what some vortec heads and a cam are going to do for my car.

 

yea im hoping for some better top end with the 3/4 slp headers and the 3.42 gears should help a lot down low

 

I think 15.4 is very possible. And I have never seen a naturally aspirated 3000gt run 14's even with mods, so it should be a good race as long as you have a good launch. Does your car hook up good on street tires or do you have drag radials for the track??? If you take him out of the hole I think you should win.

 

well right now i dont spin tires at all but with gears ill have to work on the launch if some tire spinning occurs.

 

The 3000GT has a 5 speed....
My guess is that as long as you brake torque a little to get a better launch you might do ok for a little while....once you have to shift into third though, I'm guessing he'll get you from there.
It all depends on how well he can drive too....

 

is this still on the l03? do you really have that bad of traction problems? get the gears, the posi and headers and spend some money elsewhere.

 

no i said i have no traction problems right now, but i said with the steeper gears i might, i dont think so though i should have no problem launching.
