a stock 3800 in a firebird with 200 less pounds on the car,everything else is stock,and assuming perfect conditions,how fast will it run the quarter?

 

mid to low 15's would be my guess with a stick. My buddy has a pretty mild 3.8 with some engine work, and a cat back and 75 shot and went 14.2.

 

stick or auto? my GP does the 1320 15.5 w/fram air filter. F-bod should be faster w/3.42 rear & less weight. Some have gotten their stick cars n/a into the 14's.

 

5 speed with 3.73s,15inch rims, with 200lbs less wieght and a just enough gas to go down the track.

 

and good driver, 14's. remove teh belt, as it cain be ran for that limited time.

 

open throttle body too

 

what about top speed?and 0-60 times?

 

top speed, I've seen different times, but limited to like 110~115 w/stock pcm. not sure on o-60, as the timeslip page I looky see @ is down.

 

without the factory governer how fast would it go?

 

I ran a convertible 3800 f body at the Georgia F-body shootout, he ran 15.75 to my 15.11 with my '88 Lb9/t5 Iroc with free mods.

 

yeah, about 200 hp seems to get these cars about as fast as i would ever need to go.

i just want enough power to keep up with stock mini vans and stuff. i hate getting eaten at every light by dump trucks and old people



allthou for only 80hp[at the crank!] the duke will get going on the hiway!!

i would love to see a dyno of a stock duke with 150,000 miles on it!!!

65hp 100tq,thats just so funny to think about.

 

some info on a 9sec 3800,

and James/ 12secV6 hasgotten his car into the looooooooow 12's

 

i bet the v8s he eats at the track must be pissed


but where is the info?

 

www.firebirdv6.com they helped w/the 4th gen part of my swap

 

timeslips
check out the timeslips from Fullthrottlev6 we've got a lot of fast 3.8's n/a and FI

 

theres some fast v6s on there.

and when i do my build im going to be building for 200hp/200tq at the wheels. i doubt ill get that but ill sure as hell try.

im building a four but the sixs are close in power to weight compared to the 3.0 l4.
