Cordell Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 10.5w's and its mini tubbed...they do the same thing on f bodys to run big 10.5 none w's...just cant run a 30" tall tire as easy, tucked like i can. and when my car comes out it will have radials on it. 315/65/15 DR's in the rear, and 165/15 in the front (which derek needs to find for me damn it) yes it will be loud and shit, lope like a mofo, and stink like c-16....but thats what i loved about old school muscle cars , and thats what i want. hence the old school theme going in it. and of course you can drive it, then you will want to BB that fail body Well you know at the rate we're going, our cars will be ready to face off about the same time. You'll get to see my take on a racecar for the streets. Seeing as how i want to argue with anyone telling to stick with the way it is, I guess I'm just kidding myself. Lean and mean streetable racecar is going to be the new focus, then you'll want an LSx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 It took 2 years to get the kinks out of my car but now its to the point where it can be driven to the track and run 10's with ease. I was thinking about building a 6L block over the winter but the car is running so good that I'm going to wait. Just do a lot of research on what manufacturers parts compliment others, fight through the frustrating issues that will show up, and enjoy it for years. BTW, Anthony's car is not too loud. You should hear some of these big foot looking trucks out here in Hilliard... now those damn things are loud!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 you never did answer my question about which spintech mufflers Fuck if I know It took 2 years to get the kinks out of my car but now its to the point where it can be driven to the track and run 10's with ease.

That's why I'm only doing a forged 347 this winter. Guys build them into the 8s all day, so trying to hit 9s should be fairly simple once I get the D1 and suspension dialed in.

No offense Brian but I built my car and have worked all the bugs out already with what's in the car. I also know exactly what it's take to run 10s, I could do it one of 2 ways. I could either buy a dedicated fuel system and spray it there, or buy a converter and make a couple tweeks to the rear suspension and get there. I just see you doing something very similar and I already have the forged iron block so i think I'm ready to push it again. This time I think I'll explode something or break some suspension parts. The engine should hold up and I won't get carried away with that again. I won't be happy until I scatter a tranny or rear end this time.

Now if by bugs you mean an incorrect converter for my combo, and weak parts then okay fine that's most cars. It drives really well, no bucking, stalling, or hiccups and i drove it to dragway 42 beat on it and drove it home. Everyone has ways to make their car perform better, I wouldn't call that a bug.

Well I know they won't last forever, and it'll take time to replace them, but I can't live with myself to leave anything on the table. You can't go faster until you find out whats holding you back. You guys may not agree with my aproach but thats just how I look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 So is this still an opinion thread? or have you figured it out? I personally like it more when a car appears 100% stock. Full interior, stock exterior etc. I would even consider swapping back the stock hood. Just my opinion though. I love the color of your car though. Not too many white F-bodies, and yours is a very clean one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on the stock looking part but I do like suttle changes. This is very much still an opinion thread, so go ahead and give it to me.

Would you consider going all out but still keeping the interior? That way you can have the best of both worlds; if you get the car EXACTLY how you want it by going all out, aiming for 9 second car, and miss your mark, you then have the option of removing weight to achieve your goal. Just thinking out loud to give you the most options. I don't think there is anything to be lost by keeping the interior and everything in tact until after you have the engine set up the way you want it.

I'm thinking more of a lightweight carpet with dash, doorpanels, and console still in place. No backseat, and racing buckets with a cage and 5 point harness. I can't stand to look into a car and see nothing but a seat and steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Its hard deciding which direction to go with your own car. I am having a hard time figuring out which front end I like, and that in turn will determine the entire "look" of my car. Its fun, but frustrating. Good luck, and give me a shout if you ever need any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
