RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I am starting to put my old cavalier back together for my Wife to bracket race. I know its a Cavalier but it is a soon to be 12 sec. car for the Wife.It has ported manifolds,comp. cam,ported heads,ported intake and t-body,and a few things done to the bottom end. It was a high 13 car on nitto 450's w/a good size wet nitrous kit. I am hoping that the new cam, ported heads and dr's will make a decent bracket car for her. here are some pics of the heads ive been working on http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/test027.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RUTANTA/test028.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Are you running an Ecotec? I've been meaning to try and find some info on those for a project of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Sounds cool. Some fat bitch in a newer cavy was somewhat keeping up with me on 71 awhile back. It had exhaust at least, probably just lowered on her side (she was HUGE) but she must've had something because I only slowly pulled on her, maybe put 1-2 cars by top speed and i run low 14's.... Good luck with it. How's the GTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 The GTP is in need of a new transmission. This Cavy is an older 90 w/ a 3.1 copperhead : patriot performance has an ecotec head program http://sites.reachtheworld.tv/waterNew/default.asp?T=505240&DID=1225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Good luck with the project. It's cool that your wife is into racing; shared hobbies between spouses has a lot of advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
