[Bradley Palmer]

Hey im just wanting them for looks and our cars can top out at around 150 with a hypertech. And if you keep up with things in the forced induction room you will see ill be running around 16 to 18 lbs of boost out of a supercharger and be running dual stage nos.<hr></blockquote>

HAHAHA, Thats funny! Tell me another one!!!

Not me in my camaro going 170 moron. It was a 600 hp vette. Thanks.

Just something you might want to think about, or dream maybe more like it; I've heard of a modified firebird v8 that got up around 200mph and took off and flipped over backwards because too much air got underneith. [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

How about you get a piece of paper and some crayons and make your own 1000 mph gauge. Dont bother to get it re-calibrated though, this way your camaro will pick up a few thousand horsepower and a new set of gears and be about to do around 500 mph at least. Why do people waste their time on technical mods when you can do this for some REAL SPEED...?

[Bradley Palmer]

If you havent noticed im going to need something more than a 120 mph gauge for a supercharger and dual stage nos at 150 to 200 a shot.
:D

By the way if the guy knew what he was doing he would have had huge heat extractors on his hood to get rid of the pressure under the hood at such speeds, and he would have tuned his suspension right with a real low drop. :D

Somebody watched "The Fast and the Furious" one too many times...

16-18lbs. of boost = BOOM!!
Dual stage NOS = BOOM!!

I wonder, if you tried both would it make an even BIGGER BOOM??

P.S. Our car can't do more than about 130 - and that has been hotly debated!

Granetelli makes a 200mph guage cluster for f-bodys.

Dude i wanted to do this way before the gay movie the fast and the furious came out. Yeah and if you could learn to read you could tell im forging almost all my engine. Bye Bye 130 hp shot hello 200. Thanks 94 3.8 ill look into it. :D

[Reverend_Ezekiel]

Forge it all you want. You want to put WAY too much boost into the engine, and then you want a DUAL shot of NITROUS?

Try if you want, it's your money. As for the 200mph gauge cluster. You could put a Z28 cluster in, that goes to 155mph. Or go the custom digital route.

If you wanna go 200+ mph, buy a ferrari because an F-body will not be stable. Aerodynamics will take over and you'll be drag-limited or you'll flip the car and kill yourself. Besides where can you go 200 mph safely?

[Bradley Palmer]

Have you never heard of smart people? Im wandering because there are engines out there running way more than 18 lbs of boost and dual stage nos. It's not that hard to make it all work you just have to know what your doing and if your doing it right. I already have 5 mechanics in my area with wrenches waiting to touch my car since i wanted to charge it and put nos. Yes i said 5. And im only going to ask them for help when and if i need it. I have 2 or 3 of my friends, jhon, little j, and benny all very experienced in cars waiting to get their hands on it too. Dont say i cant go 200 cause ill do that and more. And by the way im dropping my car 3 inches putting new ground effects, and later on a carbon fiber wing and hood with heat extractors, along with a very nice suspension system. Well bud i hate to burst your bubble but welcome to the world of HIGH performance.

18 Lbs of boost isn't unrealistic expensive and difficult yes. I know on the TT 3.8 they can run 20 lbs of boost highly modified. (yes I know they are a different engine but same concept) As for 200 mph I think he can acheive it. I know my X brother in law had his 74 pro stock T/A up to 225 mph when he got pulled over by a cop. The dumbass even stopped. That car suffered an unfortunate fate at 150 rolling 15 times and didn't even kill the guy driving it. But best of luck to you and don't do any stupid **** or take the easy way.

[Bradley Palmer]

Whats stupid **** and the easy way supposed to mean?

I think this conversation is going no where really fast.Also:

Not trying to be a smart @$$ but 3.8's are not on a 94 buddy ;) . I think you have either a lot to learn or need to get your facts straight. BTW, I thinks its cool that you are trying to do but don't rice the car out with stuff like 200 mph gauges :D .
