Look twice save a life. RIP, that sucks.

I got in too many fights to remember as a kid, I remember in about 1st or 2nd grade some kid thought he would try out some wrestling moves on me that he saw on TV. I just remember kicking him and trying to get my belt off to whip him, lol. I was a senior in high school before I straightened out, I spent lots of time in in-school suspension before that. I met my wife after my junior year and I had better things to think about.

I was taught in boy scouts that proper burning of the flag was to have a small fire and start the burn in the center of the flag and once it's started to flop the rest in. Once the fire goes out take the rings out and bury them. Yes I have actually done this a few times as I take pride in whats left of my country.

Sold. lock it up.

Well at least you follow instructions well, welcome.

I bought these new about 6 months ago, only went to the track twice. You can still see the grooves so at least half life. If someone wants these I'll throw them on some crappy old firebird wheels, the wheels are corroded but they'll hold air all day at the track if someone needs a pair of wheels to put them on.

Don't you idiots have jobs? This thread is worthless, thanks for wasting my time. BTW I'm at work so don't expect any replies.

I'm curious what thats for? Mine only go up to t60.

Buy any of the above motors and save money not buying h/c/i and buy basic turbo, or keep it a cheap used engine and spray it with 150 and make around 450-500.

A year ago I would have agreed with you, but I'm tired of it the way it is. I'm thinking that making it a little more well rounded would make it more fun all the time.

Newark/Heath isn't like Columbus or Cinci or Cleveland, it's just a large hick town full of rednecks and retards.

The Cobalt is my wife's car so that isn't going to happen, besides it's wrong wheel drive. My daily is a Silverado so that isn't going to work either.

You don't have to tell me that these cars leave a lot to be desired handling wise. Thats why for years I've been telling people thats why I drag raced it. Yes all the rear suspension links, torque arm, LCAs, panhard, have been upgraded to BMR adjustable stock replacement. I really like what I hear about Koni's until I look at the price but it seems you get what you pay for. Not sure out of KYBs, Bilsteins, or Tokico which would be better, plus my car has more weight then a stock Camaro with teh iron block up front and a 9" in the rear. I think at least in the rear because of all the increased unsprung weight I'd want soemthing other then a cookie cutter system. I think when I have this cash in hand next week I'll be calling Sam Strano.

You point me in the direction of something in that price range that would be as fun as a Camaro or as fast or not just some shit and I'm all for it. I'm not sure what to look at. Compromises don't really bother me, I just want to "play" with the car more and sitting at a drag strip making a few passes isn't it.

So lets here some opinions on what you would do with my Camaro given these parameters. It's set up as a reliable street strip car, complete nitrous set-up that is reliable and functioning, 4200 stall converter, built trans, overbuilt 9" rear with a spool, not so agressive cam selection, makes over 550 wheel on spray the way it sits, and the only thing that really bugs me driving it around is the really loose converter. Here's the deal even if its not really competetive I want to autocross it. Plan is to buy a Vette in a few years, so trying to get competetive with this when a Vette would be faster around an autocross right out of the box is kind of stupid. I just want to be able to do it without looking like a jackass in a drag car. I have about $2k to spend changing things up, and want it to be more of a good all around car. Automatic stays at least for now, I don't have the money to make a 6 speed as strong as this 4L60 is. What converter do I put in it? Go smaller close to stock, or something in between? I kind of like driving with the spool, but I suppose a posi would be better. Ideas? I will say that I will not buy another locker, they suck worse then a spool in my opinion, always ratcheting, pretty unpredictable around corners because you don't know if it will unlock or not. Suspension mods? Thinking springs, shocks, and sway bars. and finally don't tell me to read on LS1tech, I know that site pretty well and have read lots of shit over there. I just want you guy's ideas.

A lot of you guys had seen these on my Camaro, I have taken them off with no plans to put them back on. They are about half worn, they are at the wearbars in the grooves so I'm not sure how you want to call it for wear. I can post pics monday since they are still at work. I'd get a couple track days out of these, the last pair I had hooked good until they had cords hanging out. To fit these on an f-body I had to trim the bottom front of the wheel wells, and if the tire doesn't sit in the middle of the wheel well it won't fit. These are close to a 28x11.50 tire, just slightly smaller. They are the biggest things you can put on a stock 16x8" rim. I've cut 1.47 60' times on these. $100, if you don't have $100 don't ask thats how much I want. They were over $400 new. pic of the car with them on it. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0394.jpg

Have you seen yourself?

Have fun, thats too much redneck even for me.

Throwing $400 at a 4L60 will not do shit, ask me how I know. Try spending at least $1000 to have it last any amount of time. A T-400 will need a different driveshaft. For what you are doing just stick with the T-400, I thought you were building this into a drag car so it shouldn't even be a question. All you care about is drag times and it won't be fast enough to need overdrive.

No shit. I can do that at home without giving them money.

My last set of Mickey Thompsons always had a vibration at higher speeds and never did balance very well, so any of these tires aren't immune to being too heavy on one side. Try rebalancing them, on a road force machine if possible because it will show how much pressure is in the heavy spot, a good tire tech would be able to tell you if its excessive.

Very cool, guess I've been under a rock because I didn't know they were even considering something like this seriously.

Enough cluttering up my for sale thread.

So when did this happen? I thought it was a radiator. Anyways you knew it would happen sooner or later. It'll be cool to see the new kill mode, I'd max out the turbos that are on the car so you can get it out a few times this year. That'll give you plenty of time to do something nice over the winter.

An Impala as a project car?
