DTM Brian Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 What is your fuel pressure? How much timing are you running? What is your TPS voltage at idle? What gear do you have? How do you guys compare as drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 yeah... what he asked... I would think you would beat a stock z28 if you have all them mods I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1647545489 Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Yeah me too. I thinkin it might be the drive (no offence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 If the car has a stock gear 2.73 or 3.08 and the camaro has a 3.42( ???), Then the camaro should still get him. I want to wait and see what he says first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 my timing is at 12 degrees, i have a stock fuel pressure regulator, and i have 327 gears. my voltage is a little low at idle. as of driving, i'm not the greatest drive, but he jus got the car last week, and he had an 86 camry before that.

Alex1647545498 Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 yeah... what doug said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Set timing at 16 degrees. Install a set of 3.73 gears. I was referring to the Throttle position voltage. Not your battery voltage. It needs to be as close to .99 volts as possible. Finally practice driving. It is going to take a little more to get your car going since it is a convertible. If you decide you want some work done to the car. Give me a call. I am doing work on the side along with the dyno. I am sure a few people on the board can tell you that I know a thing or 2 about these cars. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolen 5.0 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 5 speed with the ripper shifter, i jus had first and 2nd synchro's, 2nd gear, and the main shaft put in last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Manual cars came standard with a 2.73 gear and 3.08 as an option. Matic cars came with the 3.08 standard and 3.27 as an option. Did u have the 3.27 gears put in? Not many people put in a 3.27 for a manual car unless it makes a ton of power with little rpm like my turbo car. 3.55 is usually the minimum gear to go with. Jack the car up and spin the tire 1 revolution. Count the number of times the driveshaft turns to verify the gear in the rear end. If it is a 3.27, it should spin aprox. 3 and 1/4 times.

stolen 5.0 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 there is a tag on the rear end that says 327, but i'll jack it up anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 Interesting. I wonder if the car was originally an Auto. If you can come out to Hooters next weekend, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
