Lets start by saying these are by far the worst times i've seen from mine.
1st. (R/T)=.720 (60')=2.896 (1/4)=20.831
2nd. (R/T)=.801 (60')=2.919 (1/4)=20.549

However let me explain 1st run i was running hot from driving the 95 miles to the track and couldnt get it cooled down enough and i spun all the way through 2nd gear and just couldnt get it back nice tire smoke though ashamed it wasnt supposed to be there.

2nd run i was running cool but an eclipse ahead of us blew an oil line all over the track and we had to sit in the staging lanes for 30 minutes and they couldn't shut off the car in front of us because they already had to jump it in the pits so her exhaust was running right at the front of mine on top of the fact the temp was 73* and the actual temp of the track was over 100*. Second run i reacted late then again spun all the way out of 2nd then it was just a dog. I've never seen a 350tpi motor perform this low before.
More bad news is i am gettting rid of her. My dad decided he could trade me the bird for our mint, stock 55k mile 350elcamino that i've had my eye on forever its been stored for 6 years but still runs strong so either he getsd the bird and i get the camino or i sell the bird and he gets the cash.

Very Very sad day, dont start yelling out how its a 6 banger because you havent seen pictures i got pictures of a lot of other thirdgens and the 350 tpi motor in mine that everyone has been claiming i dont have so as soon as they are developed and put onto a cd disk i'll post em. All the thirdgens ran real slow today.

 

20 second 1/4 miles? I've seen Ford Festiva's run quicker than that!

 

Your tellin me htere was a 3 cylinder geo storm stock that hit 17's but they're light. Heres what pisses me of about high school drags almost all the cars there were either daddy's and the kid just drove it or they trailered daddy's car in while i had my own and had to drive the 90miles up there in the heat. if i had had my dads second gen Z28 i couldnt have even run because all the hs cars had to run an 11.99 or slower.

Makes me wanna kick my own *** plus last time when i ran so fast i was at sea level and was running on slicks. If i had hooked up today it would have been alot quicker

 

Ouch, that hurts man!
Sorry to hear about the bad times, those are the worst I have seen in while. Last 20+ second ride I saw was a Hummer.

Don't let it get you down though, I hope that is not the sole reason you're getting rid or her. Speed is easy to achieve, but once the car is gone, it's gone.

 

the 60 foots are killing you alot, hope u can get the car running better.

 

What was your trap speed?

 

trap speed being? I'm not selling her soley for that reason i've been wanting to sell it for a while now i need something new to play with. Yesterday i was ready to run it into a lake. I got home and my dad called asking what i did and i just started crying i was so pissed that basically 6k in under hood mods and it ran slower than before. I have had some people already call about it one guy lokked at it and seems like he would give it a good home. He's been the first to point out what a straight body it has.

 

Speed at the end of the 1/4 mile.

I tried to warn against over-optimism in your previous thread, but I didn't think it would be that bad. It is frustrating to do things that should improve performance, only to see the car slower. Usually just means you found the next weak link in the chain. It would appear traction is that link in your case.

 

Well then everyone ready for a good laugh.

65.86 mph . I cant figure it out i can get up that high in parking lots half that size. Originally they were doing handicapped and that crap so i figured i'd just try to keep close to the same time because for hs drags consistensy wins. The problem was after they realized they had to get 800 cars through time trials they decided to go with the faster car moves on and the slower one is eliminated. So the second run i was going to be careful not to break out but then i decided since i was probaly going to get eliminated anyways i gave it a rev of about 3000 rpm then let it go and lit the tires up through 2nd.

 

Dude there no way in hell that a TPI 350 will trap 65 MPH! Doesn't matter if it was a 100*F or you spun through 2nd gear. I bet your related to that kid on here, who was bragging on his Mercury Topaz.

I just ran my bone stock TPI 305 today.
First run in my life:
I trapped 83.93 MPH.
Had a 3.765 sec 60' time spinning till 2nd.
17.902 1/4.

See how my ET was almost 18 seconds!:hail:

Most importantly in support of myself calling on you:
I still trapped 83.93 MPH in spite of my poor ET.

You have a 65 MPH trap, a 20 sec ET, & you have a 4 or 6 banger. Probably a 4:lala:. Not a TPI 350.

BTW, I like your Photochopped sig pic

 

Just remember guys, this is the same guy who said he could get his front wheels an inch off the ground when he launched his "turbo 350 tpi."

 

Well thank you i tried real hard seeing as how according to everyone on here i'm bs. I got the pics to prove its a 350 and my mommy hasnt had them developed yet. Yes my mommy is developing because i am a 17 year old kid paying insurance on an 8 cylinder car with a ****ty job, and i can't afford a photo cd. I figured after my time is done
( i'm buying a second gen Z) I'd still stay on the boards but i think when i leave this thirdgen world i'm gone for good. F off

 

Your car is a v6, or you say was a v6, and insurance companies go by vin #'s and what the car came with from the factory. They have no idea if you swap in a v8. In a previous post you said you could get the front wheels off the ground, now you say you spun so bad. Getting the wheels off the ground requires an insane amount of traction, which you claim you have none with your "turbo 350 tpi." And you actually wonder why people call bs on you?

 

Who's really the big man in this board your the one thats sitting here arguing with a 17 year old kid that admits to running a slow time. I could easily go on here and claim i run 13's like i'm sure some guys do but i'm admitting to 20's. So you ran faster congratulations, you want a cookie or something, maybe i forgot to mention i'm in colorado where everything runs a second or more slower because of the altitude.

 

I never once said I ran faster than you. For all you know I run 21's. I commend you on saying you ran a 20 something in the 1/4. Your posts do not add up man. You say one thing, then something completely different later on. What gives? Why do you feel the need to lie, especially online. I have nothing against someone who happens to not have the fastest car in the world. Big whoop, cars arent everything, but why the need to lie about having one man? You have a v6, big deal, it doesn't make you lesser of a person than someone with a v8 or v10, etc. Why lie and say you have a turbo 350 tpi? Does it make you feel better inside?

 

I guess i should be flattered that someone has been reading all my posts but guess what dude its no v6 i dont need to lie about it because there is nothing to lie about. Maybe to you cars arent everything thats different for some people my mom drove a souped up mustang my dads used to run a nova drag car that ran 10.3's i've been bred into cars i know the difference between a 350 and a 6 and a 6 isnt what i have.

 

If you had a turbo 350 tpi you, since you have been bred into cars all your life, you surely would have been able to get it to run better than 20's? Also where did all your traction go since you said you can pop wheelies?

 

It's a fact of life i cant explain it but when you lower a car you loose traction. My buddies have the same problems with their **** yes i am proud to hang with my friend even though they drive ''those" cars. It just wasnt my day and they didnt do any prep to the track. I guess us high school kids arent important enough. We get two days a year to run our cars against other cars that kids drive and they still complain about street racing. I'm trying to get on the track and off the street. If you've been checking up on all my post you'll know i just recently lost a good freind to speed. Yet the kids still race and yet there were 850 cars up there to run. All the f-bodies were running into the 20's the only one that ran faster was the jefferson county cop car(race a cop) that dipped into 16's i got a few pics of that that i'll put up when i get them back along with the pictures of the 350 motor in MY CAR. i'm starting to make no sense so i should stop now.

 

.

 

i got a real good idea and i'm not being a dick but hows this?

You leave me alone i leave you alone and everyones happy

 

I don't think you understand what we're all getting at here.

You say you have a TPI 350, but your trap speed tells us the whole story. A 65 MPH trap is right inline with a 4/6 cylinder. You told on yourself.

If you were going to lie about your engine, you needed to lie about your times. One lie always requires another. But I believe your times to be truthful, therefore your TPI 350 is a lie.

Trap speed is an indication of horsepower. ET basically indicates how much of that power is making it to the ground.

 

Yea im callin on ur "turbo TPI 350". you been sayin for like a good month or 2 that u wil have pics soon to prove u have a turbo 350 motor and well since when does it take 2 months or less to develop a roll of film and find a friend with a scanner.

i think you have a 4banger becuz i know people who have v6 in there 3rd gens and with like no mods besides a cat back, my one friend said he ran a 15.7 but he mostly runs between 16.5 to that 15.7.

also if there was 850 someodd car racing that day there was more then enuff rubber on the ground to get traction. enless all the stupid highskoolers are goin thru the burnout box and draging all the water down the track becuz they dont know how to race.

 

Definetly something wrong with this picture as I have a stock L98 that traps at 76.7 in the 1/8th mile !!!

Dave

 

i have some work on my 305 and i run 16flat with bad tuning and added weight that wasnt needed and cold tires.

 

Okay I find this hard to believe.

First off you are complaining about being 17 and this and that, well I am 18, but had the car at 16 and the Jeep at 17. I know what it is like to pay insurance and still be able to afford other luxuries. Instead of using it as an excuse get up and get a better job. That lame excuse is just saying you are lazy and want to just get by!

Second I have spun through 2nd also and my traps are 95-97 even with 15-16 second 1/4 times and 2.8 60' times. There is something very wrong and with 6K under the hood you might want to just scrap the thing. I trap around 75-77 in the 1/8th spinning the tires, you should see at least 90+ in the 1/4 from the description you give.

I am don't even care about your past or whatnot, but judging by this, you are either 8000' above sea level, or you need to sell your car!

 

Or he is simply lying. I know you are a mustang guy, but you should atleast know a 350 tpi with a turbo should be pushing some serious hp. I believe his times because he has a v6.

 

Seeing as how this has turned into a lot of flaming this is going to be the last post i make here i dont want anymore trouble with the mods. I am selling the car it should be gone this week. I'm getting a 79 T/A with a 400 BB under the hood. when i get the engine pics i'll post them. Thats about all i can say.

 

Dude...

You'll receive a lot less grief from everyone here if you just admit you screwed up and lied. I'll even write it for you, all you have to do is copy and paste. I'm sure a lot of members will commend you for (finally) telling the truth.

Dear Members of this board,

I am writing this post to let you all know that you've been lied to for some time now. I, in fact, do not have a Turbocharged 350, or any 350 for that matter. I thought that since so many of you guys have fast rides, I'd be more respected if I said I have one too. I underestimated your intelligence, and for that I'm sorry. I wasn't expected to be called on it. I hope you can forgive me, because I didn't mean any harm. I was just trying to fit in.

There dude... Copy and paste that, and everything will be cool again. Glad I could help...

Peace

 

well if he has a 9.0 second 60 foot then its possible if he cuts it down to a 2.0 hell get into the thirteens

 

funny *** topic

 

so what is it already. ive heard u got a 350 turbo a v6...common man lay the card son the table and tell it straight for a change. all ur doing is constatly laying down a pack of lies that u have to cover with more and more lies.

 

He's like 17 years old! Instead of humoring him or arguing with him about all the crap he posted, just dont reply at all, it wastes bandwidth!

Hey kid, goodluck with your second gen!

 

I agree 100%

 

Sorry but I got 1 thing to say, He bought a slower car

 

Anyone interested read my locked post on the ap boards called my motor confessions that explains everything

 

"The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly."

You've dug a pretty deep hole for yourself. Youth is no excuse. Neither is what others may have done to you. Put down the shovel. You're 17 (if you're telling the truth about that). That means you're an adult. Act like an adult.

I'll error on the side of assuming someone is being honest with me. I lose nothing by that here. It's the one who isn't being honest that is the loser.

What you've demonstrated on this board is likely just the tip of the iceberg in your life. It's time to get your act together. You'll find, for instance, that employers are much more willing to compensate generously those whom they can trust.
