Dude you are a complete moron can somebody other than me tell this guy that automatics do have flywheels. Hey i would like to see you start your car without one.

So that should say something about the low 11 pass.<hr></blockquote>


Uhh no dumbass automatics have flexplates not flywheels there is a big difference. YOu can't bolt a clutch to a flex plate and you can't bolt a torque converter onto a fly wheel. End of story see ya later your a dumbass...

[Bradley Palmer]

they are practically the same thing.

the "flexplate" is called a flywheel too, my dad and all of the actual racers i know call it a flywheel, they have been racing for 15-30 years...so flexplate is not the only thing its called so back off the man...

[3.4 slow to go]

getting somewhat back to origonal topic, backissue of High Performance Pontiac, June 98 issue:
Stock Eliminator Class
97 Firebird, N/A 3800
Headsblue printed, cam by Lunati
Metric 200 w/4600 converter
6800 redline
1.69 60'
12 bolt rear
5.86 gears
12.90 @ 101

this is your base model,
your homework: modify to hit 120, power adder allowed ;)

[WickEdSix9838]

ok 2.8 slow to go, how much money do you think the guy spent to get it going that quick??? yea, thousands and thousands, all of the stock eliminator guys have to spend that kind of money to be competitive, just like in competition eliminator, its a rich mans game!!

Yes, autos do have a flywheel, and yes, they are very different from the flywheels that are found on a manual. Brad is right on this one, so ha! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[3.4 slow to go]

money wasn't brought up, just if it could be done. :rolleyes:

If an N/A motor can do that, power adder should push it over. Forged internals will be a must.

Bradley is right on this one. A4 trannies do have flywheels... It can't run without it. In fact all cars have a flywheel. Whether you want to call it a flexplate or flywheel it's basically the same. I have always called them flywheels and I have been doing car building/racing for around 6 or so years now. The original topic though... It would be hard and expensive to take it up to 120 in the 1/4. The reason the import in the mag is doing 160 is because it's lighter and there are a lot of comercialized products to make imports faster, easier, and cheaper right now because of the "fast and the furious".... BTW, when are you comming to the house bradley?? I'me taking the s2000 to the track tonight!!

Justin - not Jhonathan.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[oxbld]

Fast and the furious eh? Why don't we make ourselves a movie so that we can get some cool parts!?! :D

[Jhonathan]

yup!! if there were a movie with american cars, demand for them would go up and performance companies would want to target the next biggest audience so they would make more stuff and it would be cheaper. supply and demand!

[GrdLock]

Lol, yeah. Before you race, bet for pink slips, so you have a car to drive home :D

Or maybe if you get a 20mph rolling start, you'll hit 120, heh. Otherwise, run like some 20psi boost, a 150-200 shot of n20, and who knows what else.
