I,ve only been to the track once (ashamed), in my 76 bonnie with the 400/400 driveline. the best I did was 17.01 @ 88 or so. When I sold it, the guy who bought it said it had the big fat springs in the distributor and the timing was retarded a whole lot. I'm now knowing I could have gone faster, but when the bird is done, hopefully by spring, I have some numbers to beat.

Good luck at the track

I;m sure you dont have that problem with one of your 14 second blasts that causes a standing ovation from the crowd.

 

Hey 3.1 Firebird...I was meaning to talk to you.

I'm not a big Mustang fan, but my girlfriend has a 99 V6 5 speed w/ some slight mods. You know the GT's pull a 13.6, right? Hers pulled a 14.0. I mean, I knew the GT's sucked, and the 6's were stout, but I didn't know that they were that stout.

 

oh yea you got to watch out for the newer 3.8 stangs. 190 hp with a nice smooth torque curve, and some have pulled 14.9's stock. I;ve heard of a few 3.8 no optioned f-bodies doing 14.9 bone stock also. I actually test drove a 96 3.8 camaro RS today, I thought it was a nice torquey little motor with some good acceleration. Still, if I was going to get another car(which I will someday), it will definitely be a V8. Even a 4.6L thunderbird "feels" fast because of the torque. The problem with our engines is the fact that we dont make much torque, so while some of us have decently quick cars, they dont "feel" fast.

 

wait a minute....did you say your girlfriends mustang 99/v6/manual pulled a 14.0?!?!?

 

u are running low 17's in a 3.1...wanna know the funny thing? i've seen LO3's(305 TBI's) run that too

Keep on modding

Right on, This is what I like to see a V-8 enthusiast on our side. Trust me, we eill keep the modding going.

 

I hate to tell you Iroc , but Id fall asleep watching you or any 14 second cars racing at the track all day , from the stands 14 second cars just arent that fast .Hate to bust you bubble dood .
oh and by the way 13 second cars look slow to from the stands , so im not impressed if you say you even run 13s

 

SUPRISED the hell out of me too. I barely believed the time slip. She won't tell me what she has done to it. All she says is Chip, Exhaust, and some other stuff. What the other stuff is....I dunno. Her dad owns an insurance company and for some reason couldn't insure her on a GT, but could on the V6. So to make daughter happy, he modded the V6 for her.

 

I believe it..... that lil 3.8L can be stout. I am still not sure what the mav runs but a friend of mine has a V6 stang and we hit it from a stand still, he lost 2 cars in the first 60 feet but held strong after that till about 55 and then i slowly walked him. He says he runs a 14.3 in the 1/4 and i saw the slip to prove it. Keep in mind my mav is basically stock - there are afew things done, and 2900 factory pounds and running prolly 13.9 to 14.3. I do know it 0 to 60's in 6.7. Anyways yeah the lil motors do have some mojo....

A 2900lb. Maverick only goes 14's or high 13's

Wouldn't that equal out to about 150hp at the wheels?

You got nerve talking smack about me. I have a street weight of 3900lbs. and run in the high 13's. You do the math.

I can see you are used to driving under-powered machinery.

Bring it my way...I'd love to teach an old dog new tricks V8 vs. V8 Your light little Mav vs. my heavy IROC. All i have is a 48ci advantage. You have almost 1000lb. advantage.

<holding up a wad o'cash> Bring that MavBRICK on.

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO SAY THIS FOR SOMETIME NOW, YOU KNOW WHY IROC5.7TPI NEEDS A TWO EXTRA CYLYNDERS. ITS TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS LARD @$$.

[This message has been edited by 85maro (edited August 23, 2001).]

 

OK once again you are proving you know absolutly nothing about your car. The 3rd weighs in at over 3k but easily under 3700(the 'verts are the heaviest) And do not believe you have a vert. I know my resgistration says 2900 dry weight and I have a 3.1 coupe, so you may have like 100 pounds more for your "massive V8".

So Iroc whens the last time you faced a TTA or a GNX?, hell a N/A 300z would hand you your *** even. Heck a first gen turbo eclipse would hand it to you even and it has less then half your displacement. Ever race a 3000 GT VR4? How about a turbo 280Z??? man you have no clue about cars do you? there are more cars out there that can whoop ya if they even thought about it.

And sorry to say if you weigh in at 2 tons I would beat ya with my little 3.1, couse I'd have the 1k pound adantage.(thinking back a 57 chevy bel air would even beat ya, BUT AT LEAST YOU'D WEIGH THE SAME)

 

and another thing I just saw Irocsoslow, You say you have a relocated MAT? Why? It does nothing for you. You also have a gutted MAF? WTF IS THAT? ITS A HOLLOW PEICE OF PLASTIC FOR GODS SAKE!.
Man you need to learn WTF you are talking about. The only thing you could do to a MAF is take out the screen, but hell you probly messed that up even. And a ported Plenium.. Well I'm calling bull **** on that one. I could see a matched high flow edelbrock of other system but other then that I'm not believen it. Now if you may have said siamessed then thats another thing but ported plenium I'm finden hard to take.

Hey overclock was the Jet chip worth it? Just loonking for a chip soon and was wondering. And how much was it? If ya dont mind.

 

FOR THE LAST TIME:::: WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP ARGUING. I mean I haven't even had the time to check any of the other boards, every time I come here, I spend the whole time trying to figure out who/what/when to edit/delete/lock.

The chip...I can't tell ya. I didn't clear my computer for a while (thought it was clear, but wasnt'), but after I did WOW. I definately felt the difference.

I think it ran me $199. Then I had to go spend $4.37 on Vaseline after I found other places to get them cheaper.

 

LOL so where did a find it cheaper???

 

two best slips:

run one run two

1/4 16.18 16.09
mph 85.6 83.7
60' 2.24 2.21

I smell 15's!

 

hell,I get bored watching 9 and 10 second cars all day long from the stands. If it doesnt run 7's I ussually dont pay it much notice unless the car is really odd or something. For instance I saw this full race civic go 11's the other night, most cars I wouldnt even notice an 11 second car, but since this thing was screaming you couldnt help but think it was kinda cool.

 

hey 3.1, by the time you do 15's, you might be doing traps @ 79-80 mph

according to the good book chilton, a '72 302 2bb has 141@4000 hp & 242@2000 tq.

10 yrs later, the 173" 6's are almost there.

[This message has been edited by Project: 85 2.8 bird (edited August 23, 2001).]

 

Man, I found LOTS of places, but like most of the guys on this board, I was new and impatient. I believe Summit sells em for 149.

 

LOL thanks..

 

Red91Bird, my bad: 74 302 140@3800 230@2600

I never said I had the fastest car on earth. I never said I could run ANY V6. I said you guys are pathetic for wasting $$ on 6 bangers.

QUIT PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!

You try turning things around. I even said I want a piece of that slow V8, 2900lb. Maverick.

And to the guy that said I overestimated the weight of my car. Its fully loaded, every possible option. I weigh 75% more than the average test driver. I estimate it to be 3800-3900lbs. wet. I did, however lose the spare tire, jack, sound deadner, and a few other small things.
I still think its much heavier than that Maverick.

I mean not to argue here...I just wanna piece of that slow brick. He talks like he has a fast car or something.

I'm sorry Overclck, I have to do it. Edit if you must.

Her's what another V-8 guy thinks of your post.

 

Actually the guy is pretty smart, the mav is listed stock at 138hp and 239 ft/tq in a STOCK 74 mav. I am just abit over stock, and to push a mav into the high 13's? not sure but i would say 200 to 250 RWHP prolly. As far as bringing it? sure, soon as this engine on the stand goes in. I will put money down your 13 sec car will be blown away. All i am waiting on is time to get the engine to a friends to help me install. Wanna do it tomorrow? sure i got a bottle i can install in a minute and push low 13's to high 12's.


So by my figuring, i can talk alot of smack to ya - as one i am STILL faster then you, will always be faster then you mod for mod and will ALWAYS have a wieght advantage over you... *** the last 3 lines look familure? just doing to you what you are doing to the V6 board.... I can drop to atleast 2650 pounds just by going fiberglass fenders, hood and dropping the big 74 bumpers for 72 bumpers and run faster with no engine mods AND STILL be faster mod for mod then you. Am i the fastest? hell no, but i will be faster then you and your big ol 5.7 liter chevy. As it stands, a 5.0 does respond better to mods then a chevy 5.7, open any ford book and take a look and see for yourself. Streetwise, most mustangs or fords run faster mod for mod. Now do you see me going around blasting the chevy runners? no... rather if ya do see me post i offer advice from 15 years of engine building... why? i respect anyone that builds thier car - UNLIKE YOU! As far as coming some thousand miles to hand you your *** in more ways then one? why waste the time. By your posts you are a little kid - thats best case. If you are over 14 and do drive a real car - i feel sorry for your community, its is clear you didn't get the smack beat outta ya when ya lipped off as a kid OR you are so tired of getting the smack beat out of ya at school ya have become a cyber hero. Like i said before in the other post, and i will say it again here - if you find yourself in the dallas texas area, throw me a email before hand, i will be more then happy to meetup and hand you your rearend, i will do the same if in your area - and i do travel for a living.

#1: I'm with Ked... I'm getting tired of this crap. And as far as I can see, it's mainly IROC (which I believe stands for "I Rape Obnoxious Children") bringing it on himself.

Examples?
"I said you guys are pathetic for wasting $$ on 6 bangers. "
"I even said I want a piece of that slow V8, 2900lb. Maverick. "
"I mean not to argue here...I just wanna piece of that slow brick. "

Open mouth, insert foot...

#2: Your car does NOT weigh 3900lbs. No way. My dad has a '93 Lincoln Mark VIII that doesn't even weigh 3900lbs. And yes, that's wet, not dry. And, I'm willing to bet it'll walk the dog on your IROC.

#3: You remind me of an annoying little brother. You irritate and irritate, and finally when big bro lays a finger on you, you go and yell, "MOM! HE HIT ME!". Knowing damn well you deserved it, you still cry and whine... You give Camaro owners a bad name. You don't deserve to own a fine peice of American machinery... you should buy a KIA...

 

How you guys doing? I also have a 92 Bird 3.1 and was wondering, what is the best way to launch? This little program on my computer tells me I should hold the brake and launch at 3200 rpms. Unfortuanllty, (missed, very tire) once I hit about 2300-2400 the wheels start to spin, oops, wheel! For you guys that have beento the track and know, what is the best way to launch? I have taken out the back seats, passenger seats, spare tire and jack, amp, box, back seatbelts. What else can I really do to lighten the car? Thanks guys for any help or advice!!!

Hey Josh, welcome to the club. I received your IM, feel free to email me any questions you might have.

I usually launch by finding the point about where the tire would break loose, and then coming down a lil off that. I think on my car it's around 2500 (good brakes). Then release from there. Every car is different tho, you just kinda have to feel for it.

Rock if your car weighs 3900 pounds you must have ADDED weight to it. Hell 'verts roll in at just over 3500 and they weigh the most!. I'd be willing to bet my car weighs in at around 3300 pound range and thats with the 2 big A$$ boxes made of 5/8 MDF that are 1.5 cu ft EACH, the amp rack, all the sterio equip, jack with tire, FULL interior and my tool box to boot!. Oh I forgot I also have 2 batteries for my system. And going from dead stop I can gun it to catch p to traffic thats moving 60-70 and they do not get more then 3-4 car lengths agead of me at ANY time. Thats also severly chirping/spining 2nd, and chirping 3rd. I like MY V6, I DO NOT NEED A V8 TO KNOW I HAVE A SET OF ***** BETWEEN MY LEGS.

 

well I am the guy that said you were severly overestimatling the weight of your car because you are. And that Mav WOULD walk you like the dog you are. And how do you caome up with you weing in at 75 pecent more then the daily test driver? My 305 RS WITH POWER EVERYTHING AND T TOPS WEIGHS 3450, OR SO SAYS THE REGISTRATION, of which they get that from chevy so I would be inclined to believe it. Now you can't compare appes to oranges there my friend, thats V8 to V8... you just have .7 more liters and 45 more Cu in. which equates to basiclly a different crank.

 

didn't get to run. track closed down. post whenever i do go.
