What Else?

[Thelonewolf]

Ok I havew had my car for about a month and been slowly puting cash into it, my problem is I get smoked by CRX's and what not :( what else can I do to increase my overall take-off I am ordering new coil packs already got dual exhaust modified stock air intake box and did all the car basics, any help would be awesome!!

Sounds like the driver mod to me. What year is your car? What transmission does it have? Gears?

[Thelonewolf]

1994 Firebird
L32 V6 3.4
The transmission is an Automatic (4L60-E)
175 Amp Alternator
Replaced Airbox with a circular intake, gonna go with a ram-air style once i get the hood.

I am looking for the trans-am rear end with lsd I really wanna get this car going but still lacks overall take-off and still govern's out at 120 which is a bummer :(

the mods you listed arent going to give you much more horsepower if thats what your after. even with the new intake and ram air hood(which wont do much) will only give you acouple more ponies. i guess if you want to get a better launch getting a different rear end and gear ratio will help, but your still driving a 16.5 second car in the 1/4 mile.

First of all, your car has fuel cut off at 108. I'm pretty sure the speedometer only goes up to 110 anyway. Second, my old 3.4 had the WS6 style hood and ram air setup, it gave noticable gains. Adjusting your fuel won't do much if you don't need more fuel, its just gonna make you run rich.

You said, "these kids where i live love there little blow-off crx's". Are you trying to say they're turbo'd?

Do some searches, read up on mods. You say you've been to the track, what was your ET, 60', trap speed, etc.?

Go here to look at my old ram air setup

cleaned up the thread. this isnt a rant forum, and i wont put up with it. if youre not going to give advice keep it to yourself. neither i nor anyone else cares about your opinion on how fast the kid wants to go. that being said....

lonewolf- check around on the v8 boards for lsds. there is always a few for sale there. get some 3.73s to improve your take off. look into pacesetter headers and a high flow cat (like catco cats since they are cheap but work well) tuning is another story. i think pcm for less still does custom 3.4 tunes(not for sure if it was them that did them or not so dont hold me to that) but lsd,3.73s,headers,and cat should get the car moving pretty good compared to stock. also look into shift kits, that'll firm up the shift points consideralbly.

btw- fbody3400 is right 108 is the cut off.

heh you'd be surprised what can be done with a turbo kit when built right.
