I just finished my six. Below are my mods in my profile. So far the victims include:
-1995 Z28
-1995 Formula Firebird
-2000 Mustang GT
* I can't count all the rice burners. My calculator doesn't add that many

Let me know what you guys think!

 

Very impressive numbers!!! I'm curious what kind of fabrication you had to do to make the Vortec work on the 3.8 and what mods you did on your internals to support that amount of boost. For example, did you get forged pistons, rods, and stiffer valve springs? I have a Vector/Powerdyne sitting here waiting to install, and I was thinking with just 9lbs of boost, it would be a good idea to do some internal upgrades. Certainly your not running stock internals on 18psi.....?? Do you have any 1/4 mile times yet? I'm very interested in your setup. Do you have any pictures you could share with the rest of us. BTW...welcome to the board.

 

I had to add new pistons and rings. Very expensive. I started out with 8 PSI. Stock it could support about 10. I also had to add a chip so the computer wouldn't fry. Add new pistons and rings and rods and you will be good to go up unto maybe 15 PSI. Pictures are on the way. No quarter mile yet. Heading out to Rt. 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois this weekend.

 

By the way. I heard the powerdyne supports the Pistons better then the vortech. You may be good with your STOCK pistons. But I wouldn't want to risk blowing them. I'd replace them and upgrade your computer. I'm running the LS1 computer edit program. Basically my computer thinks there is an LS1 under the hood. Otherwise the computer would get all messed up when there is a 3.8L Six running all that power. Invest in a good chip and tell whoever edits it to plug in the LS1 edit. It's UNREAL. Only way to explain it as SICK. Love seeing all those rice boys bow down and cry

 

dayam that mod list is impressive.
where did you find those hooker headers? i just love the name hooker. and that SS torque converter, what stall is that at?
looks like you are going to have some serious traction issues when you do go to the track.

 

are you on www.MFBA.org ?

nice #'s , i'd like to check it out sometime

 

The car here isn't amazing but the bullsh*t is!



...18 PSI I think, about 10 PSI would be a little rough for a stock 3.8l

And did you add those new pistons and rings on top of the stock ones??

I'm sorry, but I need proof before I believe any of that

 

kevin, whats hard to believe? -- he could have stage 3 plugs and wires. and he could have a 3.75 rear end off an SS.

 

kevin, i know you dont believe the LS1 edit works on 3.8s, but it does! it just takes a whole lot of money and another pcm.

 

The LS1 edit prgram works on all the 98+ v6 camaro's. And 10 PSI, well, a 2.5l engine could support that. With everything else I have done 18PSI is fine. I've heard of Z28's running almost 21PSI! What's so hard to believe? Money makes any car fast.

 

Well I guess you're right, I must have passed over the Vortech kits they made for them.

Oh, and where did you put that chip at??
And how does a shift kit, thats made for a 4L60E, work on your tranny??
And are those long tube headers??
Weren't the 93s, the only ones you could put a chip in??
Z06 intake support, whats that!?
And is the SS TQ the same that came in the Z28s??
Does the Y87 package include the T-56 tranny?
Oh, and how much !HP does the tinted windows add??


Answers to my questions would be greatly appriciated, thanks!

 

dude, i am all for ya. its these nonbelievers here on this board that if they dont know you they BS you.

and btw, that is my favorite saying.
they will want to see your dyno slip untill they believe you ar pics will really make them shut up. but untill you get those, you are beating a dead horse.

 

come on kevin dont you think you are being a little hard on the guy?

i think his car is kinda cute.

 

I haven't had much sleep, his car is probably entirely true. Sorry

ANYWAYS - 98MeanSix =

 

Beating a dead horse?...Worthless

Beating a 1994 NON-Beliver Z28?...Priceless

There are some things money can't buy.....One fast *** V6 isn't one of them
