South Bend, Indiana
Re: South Bend, Indiana
fryedclutch, my z is black. one of the billion... but all my **** it black and it always will be. when you were a senior, i would have been driving a black iroc with gold iroc stickers and gold wheels. not the coolest car ever, but it was in about the best shape i've ever seen one in, and out, with 75,000 miles on it. however that is gone now and i have a 94 Z. basically like yours but with half the miles and a mcleod clutch. i picked up some 10 spoke SS wheels this winter as a quick fix for the salad shooters. I'm sure you'll see me around, and vise versa.

so i bought a 94 v6 black but smashed it in april last year
and then till the end of the school year i had a 89 tpi firebird with cracked paint on the front bumper and the lights were usually up
but now i have my teal Z

Re: South Bend, Indiana
Chris' car will run quite a bit better than it has been with just some minor changes. hes just got the problem of being a majorly broke college student right now. the rear i put in his car is just a stock 3.42 rear from a 6 speed car. his had 2.73's before so it was a nice change. actually i think he ended up having to do a lot of the rearend swap himself since i was busy working on another 30th anniv at the same time that i had to try to finish up that night after rebuilding the 383 in it and putting it all back together. he does have Hooker LT's, which go into an x-pipe and then through dynomax bullets before dumping in front of the rear. its a exhaust that my buddy Derek made and used to have on his TA vert.
Justin does pretty much all of his work himself. i think the only thing ive done on his car is set up the gears when he swapped to 3.73's. actually saw him driving it today near IUSB. i was delivering to all the places around there today

Re: South Bend, Indiana
just a LT4 Hotcam, and some ported LT1 heads with 2.02/1.60 valves that i used to have on my black car. i ported his intake to match the heads myself. went with that combo of parts since he was on a tight budget. it runs pretty good for a hotcam car though

Re: South Bend, Indiana
fryed clutch, chris (97 30th) has a hotcam and some ported lt1 heads. i wouldn't post his combo, but he doesn't seem shy about telling us when at the strip or on 20 in the summer.
Re: South Bend, Indiana
it sounds like it has more than just a hot cam in it though lol
hopefully my new motor will sound as strong as his
and hes just running on a stockish ten bolt
i hope my rebuilt one will last a while

Re: South Bend, Indiana
it sounds like more than a hotcam because of those bullets off the long tubes. it's pretty damn loud. the idle was pretty erratic last i heard it too. sounded like it need to have the bugs worked out of it
Re: South Bend, Indiana
his idle would be fine if he would bring it by so i can open the throttle body blades more and slot the TPS sensor and rotate it back to ~.5v. been telling him that for a while
his car also probably sounds a little more radical than most hotcam combos since i raised his compression some. most hotcams around here are in cars with stock heads and compression. the larger valves in his heads magnifies the overlap a tad, and by using a .026" gasket and the fact that the heads had been decked a little brought the compression up
