well let me think, ported heads (stock valves, not sure how good of a port job either) cam (210/220 .512 112 lsa) 105 pound springs shortend pushrods 3500 stall corvette servo 1 piece drive shaft torsen posi 3.73 gears LCA's drag radials that 1.5 inches shorter than tuned for and it was tuned by intense, has 25* of timing and according to my dyno sheet, A/F ratio is at 12.7:1. Not sure if the tune is still good or not though, they didnt pick up any knock retard or anything, but it still has stock length pushrods and had a tick to it from valves starting to bounce around the head.

well my best 60 is a 1.91 so far, but my here is my 13 sec pass time slip, 60'-1.92 330-5.682 1/8-8.863 mph-76.62 1000-11.639 1/4-13.993 mph-95.80

Basically, ever since ive "built" this V6 up, I have gotten shit from a few people on other sites telling me that my car was not built right and what not. for reference, there is a guy that runs mid 13's with the same cam i do, stock heads, valve train upgrades, same stall i have, 4.10 gears, suspension upgrades and tune. Now i had one of the guys telling me what he thinks is wrong with my car, and why it isnt running at least mid 13's. A few things he said, i really dont understand and hoping maybe someone here can give me some insight. He said the biggest thing was tuning. I do understand how a good tune makes a difference, but the car was tuned a while back with 25* of timing and wouldnt make any more power past that, and also had an A/F ration of 12.7. The only thing is, when i had it tuned, it still had stock length push rods in it, which i was told were to long since i had the bigger cam and some what ported heads. We also know a few of the valve guides were on there way out, but not sure how bad they were. Secondly, Is it possible to have ported heads that will actually hurt performance? I was told that could also be a problem. Can ported heads actually hurt performance? The heads were ported by a professional, and he had the cam specs. Also, what difference would having a good suspension setup have? i personally wouldnt think it would do much for a 13 second car, but then again, i dont know much about suspensions.

LOL

some of us actually have jobs to go to bright and early in the morning, and we dont want to be out late, so you=fail

you try that first and let me know how that goes, then maybe.

damn strait. bdubs is the shit lol

aight, ill probably do that. ill give ya a call

wanna let me borrow the 600 bucks for the kit? lol

i may come out, depends on how tired i am.

i dont know, this thing does do some really good burn outs lol

lol, really cause i think my 100 shot (coming soon) agrees with me.

damn, now i wish i would have came, i have a few sets of old tires to spare, i would have put both of you to shame LOL

and you never will

dude, my car when it was stock could beat one of those, its nothing to be proud of.

failure

oh shit, does this actually mean your getting rid of that pos LT1?

nice man.

i may bring my dads little propane one, but thats all i got

again, bring it on

ah, that makes sense, guess ill have to change it to fastest street legal series 2 3.8 lol the NA record for the stock motors is a 12.4 with an full weight car and still with the cast iron heads (ZZP has aluminum ones coming soon) Yes, i am going to be spraying my car, but its gonna be a couple months before i can though cause im broke lol

yea, my bad. what motor was in yours to run that 11.7? the other ran 8's if im thinking of the same one, but its not street legal.

i cant make it out tonight, have to be up at 4 am, but ill be at polaris tomorrow if thats where everyone is going.

ok, but i get scotts car lol

in this case, up for a race on NFS carbon? 100 bucks say's i can take you lol
