Re: look at this 3.8 motor

why do you think you should have stuck with the 3:23's instead of going 3:42's?

turbos like load on the motor, more gear put more load and spools faster plus at the top end you wont need 28inch tires to stop from bounicng off the limiter

Re: look at this 3.8 motor

fair enough... i have noticed that alot of my friends that have hella fast cars have 28x10's and they just about swear by them. after watching those videos again... im back in love with your car. im currently trying to figure out a way for a twin turbo kit... 2 rather small turbos that can push maybe 5-6 lbs a piece... i think it would be a neat little set up atleast thats how it looks in my head. :tup: but everything seems a lot cooler when its just a thought. :spank:

thats what he was saying before, he was having problems with his torque convertor, if you look at the 60' time it isnt all that great for that reason.

turbos get off the line slower than supers or nitrous (because they have to spool first). Totally normal.
If his car could get off the line quicker he would be in the 11s easy (its allll in the 60 foot)

i hate you...

if you do get an ls1 and somehow manage to TT it, my sole goal in life will be becoming faster just so i can say.....see, shoulda stayed with the 6

....i realize this may put me 10's of thousands into debt....but its worth it to drive the point home.

Re: look at this 3.8 motor

Viper, I just watched a little of your video, and man that thing pulls hard! You have some major launching issues though: lol that car left you at the launch then you fly by him at like 60.
