high 13's at 2900lbs with a 150RWHP outta a stock 302cid ford engine... think what would happen if i actually built a 302 on a stand that has a build sheet for 400 crank hp.... Or if i installed that engine and went fiberglass on my hood and fenders and then took and changed the 74 big bumpers to 72 small bumpers - that might put me at 2650lbs with somewhere around 320RWHP and a 150 shot of NOS.... Jeez - i could be slow eh?

(turns and looks at his engine stand and a engine on it ready to go into a certain old car)


Irocs were 3900 pounds? ekkkk, thats weird i MUST have recieved wrong info about Iroc's last i checked them.....

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.

Yeah theres one that runs around here thats pushing 350hp out the rear wheels. I wanna make it clear i am not trying to push ford engines here guys. Just being as insultive and off the wall to Iroc5.7 as he is being to you guys. I could give 2 farts if he is faster. Its not about that, its about everyone having fun and building a car they can be proud of. So..... as i go off on this jerk using my Mav, don't think i am going against the GM bird i grew to love and will ALWAYS respect

No way in hell irocz5.7s car weighs that much, my iroc weighs 3400 pounds with a ton of extra crap in it. Maybe you guys should stop feeding the troll(s).

Hey I saw a toyota truck today with the "no bumper" mod, you could try that one to save some weight.

 

Your IROC 5.7 is 3400 and loaded? No way...my RS 3.1 is 3500 stock!

 

Please stop arguing. I know mine weighs in at aprox 34-3500 and it has alot of crap in it. Though my registration says 2900.

 

Even though I do plan on putting in a 4.3 Turbo motor Like the typhoon/cyclone breed. Though I do plan on making it a little stronger. I want it pushing close to 550 ponies at full boost. I also plan on losing alot of weight by making a 1 peice fiberglass front clip and am aiming at to loose close to 120 pounds their. I plan on making alot of one off fiberglass peices as I can to get all the weight off that I can. I want this running close to the 10's at the very least. Not bad for a "piddly V6" as the V8ers call them. I just want to be able to take any street driven V8.
