Anyone going could be a battle of the v6s...

mild modded(stock motor internally, stock TB, sotck exhust manifolds) 3.4L 5-speed camaro driven by me

vs.

a lightly modded 3.8L a4 with 3.08s.



I have 3.42s, lsd, bald tires and a 5-speed

he has 3.08s open diffy, and tires with tread.

both motors N/A

3.4L v6, has 160hp, 200 ft. lbs. of torque stock
3.8L v6 has 200 hp, 230 ft. lbs. of torque stock


Last race I between us I ran a 15.89, vs his 16 flat, but he had a better R/T an won.

he has since added a cutout, I have done nothing since last wednesday.

 

Yes, We saw see, now let's hope the weather holds out for wednesday, hopefully it'll stay cool and they'll prep the track again.

 

Should be a good race.. At least worth the money to watch since it will be so looooooong of a race down that huge 1/4 mile..


LOL...

3.8 mods are:
Cutout
IAC Sensor Mod
K&N Conical
B&M Shift Plus
New Plugs
No rear seats. spare/floor mats
front tires 40PSi
rear tires 20PSi
ICE bags on plenum
no front sway bar

Wish I had my 2.8 our I would be taking his money too...

 

hmm... no front sway, rear seats....

thats different, could be a cool race

 

If he added a cutout, but has a stock 3800 I bet he runs slower. He'll have lost alot of bottom end and no way to spin up the motor to launch well being that it's an auto w/ stock converter.

Kept his converter and moved the cutout about 2 feet behind it.. He a spacer so it is not full open/closed... It feels like it revs faster and pulls better 40-60...

 

I ahve been working on some stuff today...


lets just say I will bringing a surprise to the track... well not the surprise may be what i am not bringing

 

hehe I'll bring some money...

and I would rather give you money then buy you food form the track, overpriced bad food is not as good as cash.

Besides I don't want to give the track anymore money then I have to with their current setup.


I was at discount auto, and almost picked up a Type R sticker, but it was $5

 

hmmmm what time is this going down? i have tennis class till 6:45 then i go home for dinner. earliest i could make it out is 7:30. would it be worth coming out that late? don't really feel like running b/c that would involve removing spare tire, subs, and other junk in the car. plus by then it will be packed and i'll only get like 1 or 2 runs in.

 

not sure...

wanna allow a few test runs before a race?


Either way I woudl love to see another 3.4L

 

Gonna add my mods as they were last wednesday

-lt1 rear end, 3.42s, lsd, 4 wheel disc brakes
-lt1 driveshaft(lighter then stock v6 2 piece driveshaft)
-poly torque arm bushing
-1Le trannymount
-TB bypass
-Accel 7mm plugs
-AC delco Rapidfires
-homemade CAI
-Cutout, with blocker plate
-CATCO high flo cat
-stock 96 z28 catback exhaust
-ASP crank underdrive pulley
-32/21 mm front sway bar
-Poly bushings and endlinks

counted up a little over 130 timeslips from this car.

I have bald street tires though

 

i'll try to make it out to root for a fellow 3.4L. i'd rather spare myself the embarrassment and not race you mustangeater, we both know you'll win. the fastest i've ever run was a 16.6, that was before my high flow cat and 2.75'' i-pipe.

 

If i could get my hands on a Z 3.42 rearend I'd probably be runnin consistent 16.0s, but the open 3.08s with 1 bald rear tire wouldnt be too consistent. Plus I have class until 8:45.

 

hehe don't knock it i hit a 15.9 last wed with a highflow cat, and 2.75 in. I-pipe and stock z28 muffler, I have gears you probalbe have something that flows better then a stock muffler

but when my car is in race mode its different.

 

I ahve been meaning to tell you that, your car isn't a slouch, but your gears are killing you.

and I know about having a class, I was stuck like that all last semester...
