powerdyne question

[grayman]

Oh, back to the powerdyne...

Suggest:

Create a 'powerdyne log book' with your word processor. Start copying and pasting replies to your posts, etc, as well as any other info you come across.

Organize Favorites (bookmarks) in your web browser with folders and sub folders...like...FIREBIRD/Tech Info...Powerdyne...Parts...Powerdyne Parts... etc.
You get the idea. This will help keep everything sorted out and 'at your fingertips' rather than digging around trying to remember who said to do what and what goes where...

Anyways back on topic...sort of.

You wanna piss away your savings on a lost cause, be my guest. It seems that Jessica here is on a STRICT budget and this is her DAILY DRIVER. Due to that, doing this to the V6 is not a good idea in my opinion.

You shouldn't have taken off your Flame suit, because that makes you a FLASHER and a Poser. Be careful who you call dork, I can bench press you.

3800 has more potential than your car. You can guys here with Turbos dynoing with alot more numbers with twice as less boost than you. Guess what, most of them are not even tuned.

WHat I have here on my hand is a Nerf Football. It is very light and a little bit smaller than an actual Football. You can throw it with ease and it can go fast and further than the actual Football. But guess what, it's still a "Nerf."

Enjoy your Nerfcar, oh I'm sorry, I mean Neoncar. :rolleyes:

Jessica, I have your whole post saved, because I am about to rip someones a** right now.

dude I can take a 2.2L Sunfire into the 7s if I want. Pointless argument. My point was why waste money on this car when there's easier motors (hint LSX series motors from Chevy, the 03/04 Cobra, Supra, etc.) to get the power you want. Creativity...fine. I prefer to just slam the gas and know I have some power with as little money as possible.

What if she doesn't want to buy another car??? Did you think of that?? She is looking for the best way to get power from the car she has now. As for creativity, you have none. You are like every other little ricer out there looking to go fast with a fart can and a small shot of nitrous. Just because you may have a blue bottle in the trunk, doesn't mean you are fast.

Do I care if you're impressed? Telling me I stepped down? FYI I get cheaper insurance rates, better gas mileage, a much more nimble of a vehicle, seats more people comfortably, stays under the cop radar, oh and the motor has better mod potential than your V6 since the head design on that 3800 is beyond horrible.

How long have you been on the 3800 scene?? Have you not seen some of the numbers that some of these engines have gotten?? And I am not talking trailer queens either, I am talking Daily Drivers!! Some into the 10's. And for not spending as much money as you think. Even for an LS1, you will be spending some considerable cash to hit low 10's.

I have said this before to more notable people, and they are not here anymore. This kind of **** pisses me off. If you don't like our cars, why the hell are you here bashing veteran members such as me and Mighty Thor?? We both have been here for years, and we didn't put in time to this site to have some little f***ing puke like you bash it to the ground. You like your neon, fine, thats great, as far as I am concerned you can take it and drive it up your ***. Leave this board now, because your opinion is unwanted, unwarranted, and you are not welcome here.

Out of respect I thought we were all dropping this...until a "veteran" member had to go punch away and be keyboard cowboy...YEEHAW [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

a lot longer than you think. I just realized its limitations and moved on. How about this I'll go pick any V8 F-body board of your choosing and see what they think of this idea of you thinking the V6 is a better route (and more affordable...oh key word too more RELIABLE) than a V8.

Oh I think I'm going to walk home and cry!!! :( Dude I've been around "the scene" from 98 - 04 and then I left it for better things. Last I checked I offered a "non-insulting" opinion and one of your "veteran" members decides to bash me because of the car I own. So wait, if I actually owned a 3800 still and I mentioned that post it'd be okay? I guess jealousy is a wonderful thing knowing I'll walk you down the 1/4mi like a little school girl in my ugly, chick-like NEON. If I actually gave a damn about modding this car anymore, one simple turbo swap and I'll be on pump gas well over 400whp and trapping in the 123-128mph range and that's still powering the wrong wheels.

Sorry Jessica, but some of your veteran members just don't know when to quit. I've been civil in this post and this is it.

Maybe 1Dangerous won't try to make money off of this one... he's selling a few other things that'd be useful to you with the blower, such as the fuel pressure gauge, 3:42s if you don't have them, fuel pump. Good luck Jessica!

FWD VS AWD, Smaller engine VS Larger, $20k VS $30+K price tag. 104 stock? Launching at total redline with DRs on all four tires? Ive never seen a 104 trap.
Ive seen 13.9@103s in SRT4s stock, while STIs at 13.8s@100. Times vary obviously like 12.9@109 stock LS1s.

[QB]99camaro99, you own a Neon, a f***ing Neon. I usually tried to step up from the car I owned before, you seemed to have stepped down.

'99 V6 Fbody is a upgrade from a SRT4? [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]
Only thing is the T-Tops and 2 doors, I'd prefer over the SRT4.

Ok man whatever you say. You sound like the V8 LS1 guys whining about the 03/04 Cobra group. [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img]

Not our fault the bastards had to cheat and add a blower. ;)


To stay on topic, get a V8. More efficient, no problems, tons of fun, torque on demand. [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] Harsh on insurance unfortunately.

99camaro99, you have managed to piss me off pretty badly, and I won't let this go.

So wait, if I actually owned a 3800 still and I mentioned that post it'd be okay?

No, because it is not your opinion that really pisses me off, its your lack of respect towards the people that have done things with their V6 fbody, or the members that have put in time around here to make this site what it is.

ALL 34 or so post of yours are about you or your f***ing Neon, or how much these cars are not worth modding. If you like that Neon so much, and know that these engines aren't worth modding, then why may I ask are you doing here? Because of your knowledge?? Your six years of knowledge of the 3800 series II engine? Amazing that you have all this experience working on these cars (when you were no older than 16 when you started your "experience"), and might I add, doesn't seem right to have this experience working on these things if from what I can tell you might have owned a 99 Camaro. So lets do some math here.....

experience = from 1998 till 2004.
previous car owned was a 1999 fbody (assuming)
which you (or your parents) might have bought
new(when you were 17 no less).
.
.
.
I guess my math may be a little fuzzy, but it seems to me that either you were working on someone elses 3800 Series II for AT LEAST a year, or you are lying about something. And while we are on that subject, I would LOVE to see some build sheets, pictures,modifications, and time slips you have from your former Camaro that would justify your opinion.

I guess jealousy is a wonderful thing knowing I'll walk you down the 1/4mi like a little school girl in my ugly, chick-like NEON.

Funny thing is, I don't even own an fbody anymore. Your car probably would walk mine. I own a 1995 Monte Carlo Z34, which has some power, but with its size and unreliable engine design, I don't race it. But you think I should be impressed with your Neon, because you can slap a bigger turbo on there and have 400 hp??? Are you kidding me?? 400 hp?? Am I supposed to cream my pants to that? Any moron with a wrench and jackstands can make 400 hp, I can't throw a rock around here and not see a 400 hp car sitting in someones driveway. If you were making 800+ out of that thing, then I might take some time out of the day to look at it for about 3 seconds. But 400, which btw your car is not near, is not real impressive. The only people you can impress with that is the simple minded fools that have never seen a real car.

And BTW, if you are not interested in modding that Neon any, then why did you buy it in the first place? You could have kept your Camaro, spent $2500 on a Powerdyne and accessories, and had a car JUST AS FAST!!! Because if you owned the car since it was new (assuming again), I would only hope that you had it payed off, so you could have spent less money on just buying the SC, compared to buying a whole new car. Unless....

You bought the Camaro USED, and still had payments on it, so you traded it in on the Neon. Which means that the experience you CLAIM to have is working on someone elses car, or again and more believable, you are lying about. But there is one more reason you got the Neon instead....

You wanted to impress someone with your half assed knowledge of cars and engines.

So let us summarize this post of mine....

You have CLAIMED 6 year experience on a 3800.
You owned a 1999 Camaro.
You now own a Neon SRT-4.
You CLAIMED to have been working on these engines
since you were 16.
You bought the Neon because out of your 6 years
experience with your 5 year old car, that the
Neon would be a better fit.

I guess I still don't get the math, but what I really think it is is that you are lying about something, trying to impress someone with your so called "knowledge" of this scene, or you are just a spoiled little puke who got new cars handed to them when they were 16 (or is it 17, you did have a '99 right? [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] ) So keep cracking your jokes, because that is all you have. I just shot your credibility out of the air.

As for "keyboard cowboy", I kinda like that. Gonna change it to that under my avatar... [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

I won't bother wasting my time with the rest of your post. How much time did you waste typing that? ;)

Ran 15.21 @ 89 off a 2.11 60' lightly modded (FTRA, Whisper Lid, 2.75" custom catback with flowmaster 80 series & Y87 package). Yes I bought it new and was paid off, you're right, my parents bought it for me. My current car they did not buy. Why did I get rid of it? Got a nagging misfire that no one could fix. Plugs, wires, coil pack, injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, car would still misfire on cylinder 6 non-stop. I patched it up and sold it.
