  3. So what's fast?

    Depends on the level of maturity of who's judging it.

     

    I understand this, and i have yet to see a problem with it. :thumbup:

     

     

    Then again, we've yet to see it go fast. I'm not totally decided on where to classify your car....:thumbup:

    What does everyone consider fast? I mean street car, full interior (not a gutted car), at a drag strip. I've seen Gary's (Pontiacfreak) 3800 Firebird run high 13s, which I think is pretty cool for an older V6 N/A F-body. Anthony's Formula runs low 10s with all the factory stuff intact. What is fast, and why do you consider it fast? I'm talking streetable cars, and of course Mark's Z06 and Ray's Trans Am is fast, but where does the line fall for you?

     

     

    Depends on the level of maturity of who's judging it. For a decent street car I'd say 12's is a good start for a toy. For a daily 13's would be totally acceptable.

     

    Gutted cars, lexan, spools, skinnies are useless if you're on the street, and really just asking for trouble. That stuff was cool ten tears ago to me. Anymore when I see that on the street I think it's dumb. You can drive that stuff on the street, but in reality everybody knows its a track car. If the owner admits it's a track car great, otherwise you're lying to yourself. It's been proven many many times you don't need to gut it to be fast.

     

    Next go-fast car that gets built will be terribly mild (mid 12's) but built to take a ton of spray on top of that.

     

    Preferably EFI, Overdrive, 3.42's, A/C, Pump gas, quiet exhaust, full interior, goes around corners with no drama is the order of the day.

    i am in debt. but its only my house. no car payments or motorcycle payments for the last 3 yrs FTW!

     

    Same here. I've come to the conclusion that if I don't have the cash for it, or I didn't save the cash I don't really need it. I've got one cc locked away for strict emergencies. That's it. I got into too much trouble years ago with all that mess. Never again.

    You said that it runs rich and just cant run over 4k. For dsm's, thats always a symptom of either bag ignition (plugs and wires normally) or boost leak. Check every clamp. The ones that go to the intercooler, to the turbo and to the intake manifold. If your plugs and wires are good, I would double check your work and tighten every clamp and make sure they are on properly.
