Made a "poster"

Figured I'd try and make something to frame from my coverage in GMHTP.


I'd like your input!

Not sure yet. Trans died on me while on the dyno. It put out 105hp and 130lb/ft and it wouldn't hold a gear. It sounded like it went from underdrive to 3rd to overdrive lol! It had 80K miles on the trans rebuild, I'm at 138K miles now. I took it and had a race prepped 4L60E installed (shifts firm at part throttle). Guy said it was in pretty worn shape and was def. on its way out.

Have yet to get any time to tune it and then get back on the dyno.

Just installed 130# valvesprings two weeks ago as well. Fixing all the little weak spots and ready to get it healthy to try out my new BFG DRII's!

Maybe in the top left corner of the car pic add a box showing your quarter mile times, horsepower, torque, etc. It would tie it up nicely by giving an end result to all the work done on your car. You could put it in the same box as the list of upgrades but that already seems crowded and some people just want to skip to the bottom-line numbers ;)

1/4 and dyno times will come. I still have it in PSD format so I can adjust things at will.

Local dragstrip is getting resurfaced, and I'll get more dyno numbers once I get to it.

This was my car when running full exhaust only!

Did you get that tuning issue fixed? Cause that N/A Supra pulled bus lengths on you:banana:

I tend to forget that you're a member here. I've seen your videos before. But man your race with that Supra was brutal. Are you sure that's not a turbo one?

[WarShrike]

Re: Made a "poster"

Very very sure it's not turbo'd. Cannot account if he had nitrous though lol! The car absolutely fell on its face. The RPMS climbed about like a 50hp cars would in Gran Turismo lol!

I've since installed bigger valvesprings and we're working on the tuning whenever I find time. It went the exact opposite of what both of us expected in that race. But it was a good indicator that something was wrong.

Cool. What are 60 degree heads though?

[Choppers]

Re: Made a "poster"

They are a company that does machine work. Located in South Florida.

Re: Made a "poster"

Ah, makes slightly more sense. I knew actual 60 degree heads didn't fit the engine at least :)

Re: Made a "poster"

I saw your car in the mag when I bought it. It's great (and RARE) to see some non-Buick V6 love in print. Congrats on the honor!
