i just ordered, well yesterday anyways...my new side skirts from mck plastics..they will be here in 3 weeks....they are the testarosa style..i cant wait...then onto the hood..then paint..then..the secret weapon for all you 13 secs and under runners!!! bwahahahahahha(ahem...maybe) lmao


iroc2nv

 

I thought you already ran 13's? The NAWS kit you are probably looking at should put you into the 11's.

 

If the secret WAS nawwwwwwwwws, though....it ain't.

 

Geez, i'd better get modding so I don't get smoked

 

well yes according to gtec i did...and its a supprise for those who "think" my car runs 13s...

(watch i will run something like a 16 or something first pass!!! lmao)

iroc2nv

 

Do what you gotta do. Pencil me in for a run at the first meet of the year

And as for the cryptic message.........you're the only one that thinks your car runs 13's.

 

What have you done to the car iroc2nv mod wise, for performance.

 

putting on testarosta "sides" doens make the car as fast as a testarosta...just wanted to clear that up for yeah.

 

well from what i gather i have a motor from a vette...like i know the tpis are vette motors but the one thats in my iroc supposedly came from a vette...there are too many things on it that arent supposed to be there....

what i have done thus far is full hooker system (headers and catback) open element intakenew ignition system, deleted the a/c and the smog crap ( not that they are mods)gutted my cat..preety much nothing except my headers and cat back with a kn(not a real mod either i know)...but like i said gtec said 13.?? i forget the exact something like 13.56 then it dropped after the headers and cat to like 13.3 or something...i dunno man...ill have to see what the tree has to say in the spring..

iroc2nv

 

A true L98 won't make any more power than a B2L when installed in a Camaro. Does it have aluminum heads? I thought you said you had a comp cam in there?

I wouldn't wait for the tree to tell you anything. It generally keeps pretty quiet. The score boards and slip tell you a whole lot though.

 

hahaha... You shouldnt have told him Paul! he would come back in the spring and be like,
hey guys, I ran 3 greens in a row!!! :sillylol:
greg

 

Look at the heads, are they silverish?

 

A gtec 13 second car ? hahahahahahahahaha

Lets see does gtec figure out if you are hooking up ? Does it figure out your 60 foot or reaction times ? Is your 'vette' motor tuned ? I mean gears, tranny, power peak, etc -- does it work well together ? Have you been on a dyno so you atleast know when to shift ?

I've seen LS1s do 14s because they aren't launched right and/or their owners don't know the powerband. I say you're in for 14s on a good day iroc2nv.

Oh yeah unless your engine is on drugs or forced air, next spring my 305 will beat your 350.

my .02 cents worth,
RP.

 

R/T isn't part of your 1/4 mile time.

Oh, and I've used G-Tech before, seems fairly accurate. If used correctly.

 

IROC2NV. Do us all a favour. Grab a flashlight... and climb up in your engine bay... pull back the wires, and check the block casting number. It's located on the ledge where the tranny butts up to the engine.

Please post your block casting number... and get the head numbers while you're at it. I am not even convinced that you have a 350.

If you post your casting numbers we can tell you exactly what you have.... and pretty much exactly what it will run.


If you have any trouble finding the casting numbers look here for more info:

http://www.mortec.com/location.htm

 

jason is right, lets see some block numbers.......who knows maybe theres a V12 in there and you do have a ferrai

 

geez, the animosity...

 

As in bad shifts... not R/T... ever blow a shift in the 1320 ?
I don't think I've ever used a GTEC so I'm skeptical.

adious,
RP.

 

I think he already did a few months back it was a 350 ?!?!

RP.

 

Ill still bet on his 350..unless you spend a couple thousand bucks on that 305..lol


How can reaction time be related to missed shifts??lolol..The ***** is right..R/T doesnt affect ET
Daz

 

Thanks, I guess.

 

I have a g-tec pro. I have used it at the track to measure the accuracy of the 1/4 mile time. Time was dead on and mph was up higher but that was expected since the track and g-tec measure speed differently.

As for hp, I tried it twice, and I screwed up my shifts because I was a little nerveous doing this on the city road. I know..stupid. Anyway, I got 162 and 173. Dyno says I have 189.4hp. I would have to do a hp test at the track since I firmly believe g-tec needs a track like road to measure accurate results.

So....if Iroc2nv did his 1/4 mile test on straight level road and got 13.3....I have to believe him. Mine was right, but that was at the track.

Iroc2nv...wait till spring. Bring the car and your g-tec to the track and we'll see. It's the only way people are going to believe.

Seeing, unfortunately in the race world, is believing.

Until spring. Til then, this topic is pointless.

 

maybe its set for a 4cyl ..lol

Daz

 

Listen to all the cockiness from you Mr... hahahaha remember what happens to the one who braggs alot..... 2 words

DYNO DAY!!

hahahaha

But your 305 should fly with the mods you are planning...
Maybe even compete with me.... hahahahahah
hahahahahaha...j/k

 

blahblahblah

Be sure to let me try that GTEC it might be the only 12s I ever make hahahahahahaha.

Hey if I spend $2k on a set of AFRs am I putting $2k into my 305 or $2k into heads ???

RP.

 

Yah it is pretty easy to poke fun at all the wanna be 13 second 350s that turn into money pits because they don't make the power or the cars don't make the times as expected. Keep it in mind for your swap eh ? hahahahaha

Yah I agree its all BS until DYNO DAY and show me the time slips !!

RP.

 

Hey, I have one of those

 

i really must say that i dont know much about my engine...

but from what it seems (when i bought the car it was in shambles things werent plugged in and stuff) and now that ive tuned it im loosing the *** end going into 4th...not sure if that means anything...i will have to look at the heads..i am not sure about them yet..that is something to look at when i get into the motor part of my theory..right now im still looking at appearance...i have enough go for me as it is but my show isnt where it should be...


as for getting on a dyno...no chance in hell...im too low..ill scrape going on one...at least the one ive seen thus far...

if anyone has or knows a place ill bring her out next year to see what she has...

thanks guys

iroc2nv

 

There are PLENTY of choices for that. Most business at dyno shops come from importees. And alot of them are slammed. You should be able to get on the using thin wedge shaped mini ramps with no problem at all...
greg

 

If I remember correctly you have to be REALLY low -- at Forrest Racing it was a flat surface and they drove the back wheels up onto the rollers ?? It ought to work for you as long as they can reach underneath to tie down the car.

Wanna try an experiment ? Next year at the track let me try your GTEC on a run so I can compare it against the track ET & MPH. Ok ?

RP.

 

i dont own one...it was my buddies that he set up in my iroc...i will try and get it again...

i wanna see if the person setting it up is also a probable cuase for error

iroc2nv

 

Nevermind

 

Sorry... what tranny do you have???

What?

 

Whats even funnier is the 305 owner who spend 3 thousand dollars on an engine and get to 13.9999..lol

Daz

 

Palric - I have a g-tec and used it at the track. As mentioned before above, my ET was dead on and the mph was faster on g-tec. MPH were off by 5.

 

I dare you to do it..then you know what the phrase "shrouding the valves " mean..lol that and the brittle crank..lol

Daz

 

blah blah blah... it's only money right ? ... blah blah blah

 

har har har crankety clankety brittle crank... http://members.rogers.com/yacko/Pics/DCP02461.JPG ... memorabilia.

Sure, shroud the valves. Why not ?
AFRs will work on a 305... for now. Next year maybe I upgrade to a 350 ? Then I have AFRs on a 350. Maybe AFRs on a 400 ? Not wasted coin. IMO.

RP.

 

You sure you didnt just blow another tire? hehe just buggin ya. But what tranny is that with? 700R4s lug when they hit 4th cause the ratio is so damn low. If you had enough traction to break traction hitting 4th in a 700R4, my guess is the tranny would break before you even got a chance to get passed 3rd. Unless this is a wet road test . Later
greg

 

sorry guys when i write this stuff its usually late at nigyt...its more of a chirp and not a like huge *** sway like you may think it does...i just think that its been pretty weird cuz it has alot more power then i think a 305 should have....im lost...this winter i am going to have to look and see what i have..not until after dec 6 though thats when we move


iroc2nv

 

If it chirps going into overdrive I think there might be something wrong with your car.

 

i have a 5spd though

iroc2nv

 

Okay.... that makes more sense...

Where are you moving to? It would take me less than 15 minutes to ID your block and heads.

 

ill be about 3-3.5 hours drive from you....im like 3 hours away now...


iroc2nv

 

Do the sideskirts you ordered look like the Predator kit from Kobel or what? Got any pictures or a web address?

 

yeah those are the ones....the kobel kit...i only ordered the sides because i dont like the look of the rest of the kit plus i have front and rear skirts already!!


i dont have the addy here(at my gfs house) but i will try and get it for you when i can..
