    More cubes dude, since the dawn of the fox and even before that GM always had to use more CI to produce the same results in the quarter. On a simple 4.6 with the same mods you can make 380ish. Besides the latest F bodies look like a catfish and have a shit suspension more suited for autox with that torque arm crap.

    Not my fault Ford could only get 4.6 liters out of their larger than a 460cid mod motor (okay 5.4 if you got a truck) and GM managed to get 5.7 liters (and eventually 7.0) out of the smallest and lightest small block ever. Run what ya brung. GM brought more. The suspention isn't bad, it's just different setup. IRS isn't even that bad to setup if you know what your doing, the Aussies proved that long ago, there's no SRA cars there anyMore.

    That was the whole reason I would've bought the Camaro SS over the WS6, sorry, but that nose did not suit my tastes. Gaudy.

    11.9s is cooking for a street ride. But you're having fun w/ the Sy too, right? Either way, you think either of those are fun, I want to see slips for your 'busa. :D

    Bike went 10.7x @ 133 all stock with a front end strap. My launch leaves something to be desired, and me clocking in at 260 before gear.

    I'm gonna go three up in the rear and see if I can get her into the mid/low 10's this summer.

    i take it its gone :mad:

    Yeah, Sold it to buy my Syclone. Never should have done it. Should have kept the bird, I was gonna put a 200 shot on her that summer and she would have gone mid/low 10's EASY. The whole build was set up for NO2 from the intake, cam timing, and exhaust. An out of the box '200' shot would have netted more like 250+ on that car. It went exceptionally consistent 12.0x @ 116 and on a cool night would hit 11.9 @ 117. I can't find the dyno sheet from it but I'll keep looking, I know it's on the computer somewhere :(

    uuhhh you have no clue what your talking about do you? A Camaro RS is a chicks car along with any other F body.

    Uh, schmuck, I love you man, but Ferds suck. My WS6 made 433rwhp/402rwtq with intake/full exhaust and a cam and tune (thru a 12 bolt and 3.73's as well) Show me a N/A mod turd that can produce those numbers with bolt on's and a cam swap and well talk.

    Keep the tires On blah blah blah. I hate that car. It's a failure. It was toted as the be all end all sports car with unbeatabletech all wheel drive and so on and so forth. The ZR1 was a simple idea of 'well we did all this with a $60k vette and were hot on the heels of the Enzo, let's see what we can do for $100k.'

    The GT-R was running cut slicks when it got it's ass handed to it by brute American strength that was wearing the shoes it leaves the factory with.

    I just wish we had the balls to build bikes like we build cars.

    eh, same here 100% it needs to be faster with a two button option, not a click here, click there thing. could probably narrow it down to 1.5 seconds if it was a 'Z' '/' key setup.

  8. Are you fat?

    Nice, I'm a pretty big guy, and if I get stuck on some of these smaller planes I'm cramped, and I ALWAYS end up next to some 400lb woman with a beard :( I'm by no means fat but if they want to make those over a certain diameter buy an extra ticket I'm all for it, if they want to go strictly by weight I'm gonna be pist, because I know I'll fall into the 'Obese' section, have since I was 15. Anyone else remember those little age/height/weight charts they used to have in the Dr.'s office :lol: what a joke those were (to me anyways)

  10. Re-Break In Period...

    on a car engine, 2k rpms for 20 min when using moly rings. thats to seat the rings, roller parts need no break in so the days of varying rpms and all that crap are out, that was to get the lifters to seat on the cam properly, their machined on a slight angle so that they will spin in the bore so they will last. with a overhead cam, shim in bucket design like bikes have there is also virtually no break in, the most important thing is to seat the rings so they don't smoke.

    for what it's worth.

    gear on a bike is like a parachute when sky diving, No, you really don't HAVE to wear it, it's not a law, but you'll feel allot safer with it on, and when you do hit the ground (and you will hit the ground) your landing will be much more bearable.

    Well, there's only so many places oil can get into the combustion chamber from. Either past the rings, through the valve seals, damaged head gasket or through the intake via a PCV/PAIR type valve.

    Valve seals usually smoke at idle, and low RPMs, and will clear up at higher RPMs. the springs are going to fast at mid/high rpms to allow as much oil to just sit around them. Not to mention they are not in a place where they would be holding back any actual pump pressure, just whats lying around inside the top of the head.

    High rpms sounds like a cracked ring/rings, at low RPMs the pressure in the crank case is minimal and it would smoke some, but not severly. At high rpms, especially what a small cc sport bike is capable, the crank case pressure is quite high (relatively speaking) and that would, along with the fast moving rings not wiping as well, However, if this is the case. I have a hard time believing that the plugs are not dripping oil when they are pulled. I've cracked rings before and it was quite obvious which cylinder was burning oil... Still have no idea where that chunk of ring went, wasn't in the engine anywhere...

    This leads me to ask, is there a crankcase vent that is somehow, attached to the exhaust? Normaly they are attached to the intake box, but I know there are systems out there that utilise the vaccuum from the exhaust to suck the crankcase. this would also make sense in a sportbike since oil will lower the octane rating of your gasoline if it is sucked into the combustion chamber.

    Also if it were sucking that much oil into the intake box, you'd be pouring it out when you pulled it off.

    With all cylinders within 5% on a leak down test, no oil in the intake tract, and no oil on the plugs I'm leaning towards the exhaust evacuation.

    did this happen to start after an oil change? I'm wondering if there is a possiblity that your not leaking oil, but maybe it's being sprayed out under the higher pressure of high RPMs out of either a small pin hole in the filter, or around the gasket if it was double gasketed, or maybe a tear or other imprefection in the O ring and spraying it straight onto the header, and since your at high rpm, moderate to high speed, your not noticing that it's burning ON the exhaust, instead of THROUGH it? Is there oil in the mufflers? have you taken the exhaust off?
