getting engine out

[Nate355RS]

public ignorance is how i win a lot of races, i get the jump, they hear the v8 and think it's hopless and just back down. or i rev and they get scared it's 5.7 instead of a 5.0. it happens a lot more than i thought it would

the old 305 i had would tear alot of people out of the hole... i did get a few that backed down because of that... but i also did get wooped by alot of people... once that engine got passed 4000 rpm it pretty much had nothin else...

What about a nice turbo? That should fix it.
And how did you a get a t56 in it? I know they need custom crossmembers, but what else?

[drvngstorm05]

if you were to swap the t56 into your third gen, bout the only things you need is the crossmember, and speedometer mods so the speedo reads right... that is if you already had a manual... if u had an auto you are going to need pedals, slave cylinder, cut a hole for the shifter and a new shift plate...

There you go Luos - I knew it was someone in here. BTW drvngstorm05 I also saw them drop the entire front suspension & motor/tranny on HP TV. Speaking of HP TV, did anyone else catch it a few weeks ago when they took that LS-Gun to the track? Stage II heads (can't remember if it had a bigger cam or not), Baer brakes, N2O kit and a new 12-bolt rear (although they used the same shitty control arms, etc.)

This thing NA was running high 13's! I was like what the hell? Mind you they didn't show 60ft times and the track was hot (car was also on drag "radials"). I'm sure the car was making decent HP but high 13's, shit. On the juice the friggin thing dropped 2 full seconds off though.

Just goes to show you big HP doesn't necessarily tell the whole tale. The only guys I've ever seen super-brag about their HP - the ones who will pull their dyno sheet out of the car - will never race their cars. Its cause they've been embarrased already and are sick of or out of excuses as to why their 500 rwph monster got smoked by car with a lot less shit and half the money put into it.

And eh, that story was classic drvngstorm05 - buddy asking you if its a 6. I probably couldn't have laugher at him either... just utter disbelief.

i think the 13 sec run was on the stock tires and on the 11.1 sec run they used the bottle and changed tires to drop the 2 seconds. they were also complaining about the transmissioin being junk or something. pretty bad ass car either way
