IM GAME...JUST FORGET TO TURN ON THE ALARM ONE NIGHT LOL

Intercooled T 10-20-2005 02:41 PM

haha, wouldn't doubt the turbo-t is prolly garaged anyways...tim should spray the block till it breaks, and put a fuel injected setup in that car, like a ls1 motor from this place in bristol... http://cgi.ebay.com/00-Trans-Am-Cama...QQcmdZViewItem

First of all the total timing is only like 36 degrees. It's 44ish with the vacumm advance which is about that is should be. I know it's not running 100% with the timing though. I don't know of many 11 second N/A cars (daily driven). I just weight it today and it's 3600lbs so with me thats 3760lbs. To run 13.65 @ 100mph is about 300hp to the wheels or 360-370hp at the crank which isn't bad for a daily driven car. Not to metion it would be .2-.3 with suspension and tires.

If you and Doug really wana mess around with my car for FREE, then we can probably take a look at it. I still don't think I'm going to see 12s but who knows. I've never seen Dougs Nova and your still in the 17s while my dad has been doing this for 25 years and has a 730hp Small Block Ford running 8.20s. No offense to you guys at all, just saying if my dad messes up I ain't going to get yelled at as compared to you guys messing with it.

I'm not stealing parts of my mom's car and Fuel Injection I don't see being an idea since there is nothing out there for Oldsmobiles yet. Plus the cost would be crazy. Chances are I'll just hopefully get that suspension and stuff done whenever I'm not paying for school and stuff lol.

Tim how different is a olds 350 from a chevy 350??? just outta curiousity.

1988 Olds 10-20-2005 05:02 PM

Um pretty much none of the parts are the same. Some people will have Chevy parts custom made to fit that's about it. You could probably use my carburator, that's about it LOL.

Intercooled T 10-20-2005 06:09 PM

it's notta bad block, just needs more tuning. good times man nonetheless

That math is what many call "bench racing" or "rice math". It doesn't turn up with the true results.

Doug wants to see that car down where it should be. I have no doubt he'll play with it for free, AND show you a few tricks for it.

Your dad may have an 8 second racecar, but tuning a race engine and tuning a street engine are two totally different things. I'm not saying that your dad doesn't know what he's doing, I'm saying that every engine is different, so what works on one engine is probably not going to put the same out.

Also, that 240hp was made in 2nd gear, right? Then moving it to your 1:1 3rd will NOT yeild a 60whp increase. It just doesn't work like that.

yeah man i have no problem with tuning it for you.... you just have to let me know when you want to do it. worst case you could leave it with me and come after work or whatever to grab it :supz:

hey... its not a saturn, haha :banana:

1988 Olds 10-20-2005 11:45 PM

Thanks Doug, I wana be there when ya guys are playing with it to see what's going on. I know you can't just add 60hp Clint but look at a few calculators. 240hp at the wheels is not moving a 3760lb mass to 101mph in 13.65.

im gonna have to agree.

also that 7.5 rear is fine with an auto. people (ahem) pull 1.6 60fts on them no problem. they do go sometimes it can be a gamble but with an auto you can get them WELL into the 11's. buy a rear end girdle and stud kit and they usually hold. in a stick car it is a different story however.

1988 Olds 10-24-2005 11:58 PM

I like your new sig and yeah I have to do some reseach about what people are doing. I'd just rather do it right they first time then waste time beefing up a weak rear.
