Well, I have a problem...

My brothers ******* GT has had some work done, H-pipe, dual flowmaster 40's, and a K&N.

No match eh? even if I put a new cam and rocker, port the plenum and valves, get custom headers, new ignition system, NOS kit... (dream V6)?

But on a serious side.. get the full induction ported, cam, and a 100 shot and 3.73 gears with posi, i dont think you'll have any problems.

Well, by the time I get the money to pay for all the damn mods, I could buy a Z/28...

BUT, my car IS payed for. I would be nice to have a 6 that can beat his 8.

I have ALOT of work to do.

 

Yeah, that'll be tough.. our V6's can easily beat an out of tune "poser-driven" V8, but to beat one in good shape is a helluva chore.

You might be able to snag him off the line with your car's rear gear, but he'll probably start to walk away after 35 mph or so...

personally, i will never buy a v8 thirdgen.. their fast out of the box, but i want something in a thirdgen that i have to use my own hands to make fast. Next year ill be buying a 2001 Firebird with the 3.8 and 5 speed... and drop probably 5000 into it right away in a supercharger and other assorted goodies...i only buy v8's outside of fbodys, like my chevelle.

Well, I don't know...

I want to get a Z one day and will probably end up getting a Thirdgen Z/28. I love the body style of the car and just can't wait to get the power and upgradeability of the 350 big block.

But, until then I will probably upgrade my car... for x-mas I will probably get a 2030 cam and rockers for myself. Then rear gears, hopefully that will help out a bit.

What about in the 1/8 mile, it seems the closest drag way is 30 minutes away and 1/8 mile. He is getting ancy

 

Just go run the 1/8 and see what happens. If i were you, i'd go one or 2 times before you race him. Get some knowledge up about how to. Remember, rev to about 2k, take off at the last staging light. dont shift too soon, dont do a burnout on street tires, drive the opposite side in the burnout box then they sweep all the tire crap into.

Past Thirdgen:
86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

 

hehe, 3.8 in there would be nice,but the damn car is so heavy. I hope that I can at least give him a good race some day...
