Damm thats really awsome Vince!....The best I have been able to run was a 5.98...Your car is really movin, Ive turned mine up a few notches and dumped my 8-rib blower belt set-up for a serious Cog-set up looking for another 7-9 pounds of boost, I want to run a 5.80 @120+ in the 1/8th and 8.90@150 in the 1/4.....159mph thas just sick!...good luck with your ride I should have mine back on the dyno and to the track in the next few weeks

 

Vince hopefully it will happen soon. I'm gonna get the car tuned finally. Still haven't done that, just threw the carb on and set the floats and idle screws. I need to get a tighter converter and less gear also.

 

Vince bring the car down to La. in Nov. We are having a shootout for the fastest 3-4th gen f-bodies.

 

Taner,

Sorry no video. We don't have a photographer type person around to do that job yet. I have a few stills but they are nothing special. If I get some I'll be sure to post it. Race weight? Sure. The scale at TMP park said between 3325 and 3350 all weekend. I thought my car was lighter but it sure isn't. I gotta get 300 lbs out of it. I have some idea's but it takes way to much time to discuss them here.

Yellow Z,

You have that car working the bottom half of the track. Way to go! Hope you get out there soon and get the job done. Best of luck to you.


Big Rick,

Oh yes the converter gear swap deal. Been there and done that. Wait until after you do that work and car slows down on the motor to dog ****. Everyone says your a lier and that they don't believe you. Or that your spraying on your motor passes. Its all crap but be prepared it takes time to find the right combo again and in the middle you might hear a bunch of crap. Good luck and I hope you hit it right the first time.

Madman,

November? Louisiana? Jeez man I live in the great white north. by November I have to be riding on my dog sled! Send me some info but I doubt I can make it. I own a snow plowing company and November through April is prime time for me. Let me know.

Vince

 

Vince people know what I run already, they've been to the events. I don't care what they think because to me it doesn't matter as long as I get into the 8's. It sure would be nice to see you in November. The shootout will be a 500 entry fee, winner takes the pot. Stock suspension 3rd and 4th gens 10.5 tire. Hope to see you there

 

Big Rick,

Thats cool. Some people just have a way of twisting facts. As long as your good with it great. I hope you hit the 8's soon. I agree its all worthwhile and the talk means nothing once the board lights up.

$500.00? Kinda steep. Its there a guaranteed payout if only like three cars show up? I would really consider it if there was a say a $4000.00 guarantee on the purse. How big a 10.5 can be run? I would ideally want to run 29.5 x 10.5w. Right now I am on a 30 x 12.5 ET street and its a little to slippery for my taste.

Vince

 

Vince the rules are

Must have stock style rear suspension. (shocks, springs and lower control arms must be in stock position)
3000lbs




The entry fee is $500.00 and must be paid by Oct. 8. Winner takes all. The race is Nov. 8.

If you want send me some pics of the rear of the car and we can see if everything is legal.

 

I'm sure we will get atleast 10 people, that 5000!!

 

spraytheway,

that is a decent weight! i weighed mine at the cz nationals, much to my dismay it was #3500. oh well. are you going to be running the car at grand bend or st.thomas anytime soon? maybe we'll see you run that beast!

 

Madman & Big Rick,

Interesting idea. I will speak with the rest of my team and see if they have any interest first. Its a long way for us but it might be worthwhile.


Taner,

DaSilva Day, Labour day weekend. London/St Thomas. See you and the rest of the ARE crew then.

 

Vince, I actually may be going to the Southern shootout with my new motor (not that it can compete with you guys LOL).

NPR is a great track
Jason

 

Jason,

What is the Southern shootout? Not trying to be dumb I have just been offline so long that I am unfamilier with the races and events that are currantly taking place.
Don't be sly with me. New motor? I know what it is and its going make some power. Have fun and drop me a line when you know whats going on.

Vince

 

Way to go vince. Get that thing hooked up and make the drive to the thunder shootout. Here is the link to the race details http://www.thundershootout.com/ . Madman is having a race in a race. He can fill you in on the details. basically a run what you brung on a stock suspension(mounting points)...winner take all. The more cars that race..the bigger the pot.
