  1. Very impressive. Maybe i missed it, but forged internals and such?
  2. Very nice and very clean. What kind of power did it put down
  3. You sir are dumb as fuck. Go back to your precious youtube and keep looking. There are at least 2 high 9 second cars running n/a setups on 93 octane. To say an n/a motor car would be no competion is just moronic. Not to mention the fact of how ignorant your coming off....id be willing to bet my budget built 383 would have no problem with your pile.
  4. Cool. Will do. It will probably be sunday if thats alright
  5. Better than what i have now (nothing). This setup will never see any roll action so i would think that a basic one should be ok. If you think the one in box is bigger, ill take it.
  6. Not to sound dumb, but never messed with trans coolers before but any idea if it would work in my car with a th350?
  7. Thats what i was wondering. Even if we cant see your house, judging by the rest of that area, im gonna say its nothing to look at either. Hell the trailor park my buddy lives in looks 10x better than that.
  8. Check for chewed wires, make sure the rubber intake tubeing is all connected right and tightend up, pull MAF and spray it off with brake clean. Just a few places to start.
  9. So i guess all the hours and money i have put into my car (and about to...), or the fact that i spend alot of my time around all different types of cars while racing mine weekly, means nothing in terms of being a car enthusiast because my car has an automatic. According to this fool, i guess i should just give up lol. Dont waste your breath jones, hes not gonna get it. Imstock, just a heads up, you would be suprised how much driver skill is still involved in racing an auto car. No, my car doesnt have launch control or AWD, but it is just a 300 hp automatic car on drag radials. Ive watched several people jump in my car not 5 minutes after i make a pass and be a couple tenths slower (cordell, fill LOL). My point is, anything takes skill (more like just learning what your doing) to drive to its full pontential. GTR's included.
  10. Ya know, im almost sold that thing the other day lol. A guy on the v6 site i used to frequent just built a monster of a 3800, full ported everything, custom intakes etc...plus a turbo kit that they said would be good for around 6-700 wheel hp. I thought about it lol
  11. Exactly. Now if chevy would just make the michellen sport cup tires like on the Z06 an option, it would be a masacre. Oh and not to mention the possible addition of an LS7 next year lol
  12. Thats probably because they posted prior lap contestants in the magazine as well. Oh and dont you mean SS 1LE> BMW LOL On another note i am impressed by the 1LE, according to their results, its faster than a laguna seca boss 302. Motor trend just did an article to where they tried to get a boss, but ford would only give them a track pack GT because they said it something about it being more of the 1LE competitor. To bad the 1LE was 3 seconds a lap faster than it around the track.
  13. the phone app supposedly does that and everything else the remote can. i just plan on using it for drag racing and paintball occasionally, so i think the preview mode on the app would be all i really need so i can tell if the camera is pointed strait.
  14. thanks guys. yea its out for the android, mine just sucks and wont run it, so i was hoping it would be worth holding out till i get a new phone for.
  15. Sounds like your good to go then. A dremmel will work, just make sure you have a few extra bits (can be bought at pretty much any home improvement store) and be patient lol
  16. The fiance got me what im guessin is a basic silver edition, no LCD screen or remote. I was debating going out and buying both, but i got on gopro's website and noticed they have a free app for smart phones that sounds like it will do the job of both. My problem right now is, i was broke when i bought last phone, so i got just your average low end andriod, so of course it wont support the app. So my question is, i get a phone upgrade early next year, and prolly wont use the camera that much till about then anyways, but would it be worth it just wait it out, or is the app worthless and i should just go spend the money on at least the screen?
  17. I would be careful with doing something like that without doing a ton of research. I used to think any kind of porting had to help with airflow, and although it may help with volume, alot of times engineers design things for a purpose. Like my upper intake and throttle body for instance, i also tried to smooth out some areas in those when i did my build, luckily i had only done my throttle body because found out that some of areas i was going to smooth out, were designed to cause i swirl motion with the air into the head. We ran the car with the ported TB vs a stock and you could tell a pretty good difference in favor of the stock one in terms of throttle response. Cliffs, do your self a huge favor and make sure you know exactly what your getting yourself into before grinding.
  18. This, i applied at advance a while back and got an interview. In the interview they acted like knowing your shit was key priority, and i awnsered truthfully ( asked on a scale of 1-10 how much i knew about engines, trans and rear ends, and i dont know crap about transmissions lol). Never got the job. 2 days later i go into an advance to get oil and a filter for my dads mustang because it lost oil pressure and wasnt sure why. When i get to the counter, kid asks what im worki g on, and after explaining, the kid says to me, there is a little plastic piece down by the oil pump drive that breaks all the time, my chevy v8 does it all the time.... Op, good pick up. Id like to pick me up a cheap beater that i dont care about.
  19. Eh, it would be a cool swap and all, but seeing as the 3800 prolly weighs about the same as an ls motor (all iron vs all aluminum) id rather just have the more power from the ls. Now seeing as im pullng my 3800 out of the bird anyway, if i could find a brz cheap enough, i would drop it in. 300 ish hp and a good amount of low end torque in that chassis with a 6 speed would be a blast
  20. Funny seeing some of you guys at masseys, went with the family before ever seeing it on here. Maybe next time ill see the meet spot so i can drive seperately lol
  21. thats all i have, although both of my choices are front wheel drive lol
  22. Im not talking about jones lol. Its some guy down in texas that has the cam only 3800 f body record. If i was making jones my goal to beat, id just sell my 383 due to embarrassment lol
