Held My Own

Well last night i went to palmdale because there was goig to be some races, well before anyone says anything its a desert and we were in the outskirts of it, well i raced twice, i first owned me 05gt and my second race was with a 03 cobra well we both launched good and he took me off the start but i quickly caught up but i couldn't pass him i stayed dead even with him, well after the race he was shocked to see that i kept up with him, then i told him what i had and he said that's one sick camaro, :ylsuper: Well after that i decided to leave but it was a fun night

Sounds like fun.

You are running with modded LS1 cars if you are keeping up with 03 Cobras. Congrats!!!

It would have felt better if i would have took the o3 cobra but hey thats one fast car, before i raced he had raced a 97 SS and he smoked the shit out of it, well atleast my iroc let him know that camaros aint no push over.

:grinno:

Good run and yes, those cobra's are very quick especially with the supercharger pulley changed. Nice work.

yeah it was a good night, i held it down for chevy

way to go man....and good job keeping the camaro name strong.....man i cant wait till i get my 350 in my car...im doing basically all what you have....so now im really exited knowing what i can expect out of my engine or atleast what i can hope for.

Dude.. nice race story. Show em what IROC is all about!

you know what's sad thought that after i raced the o3 cobra the guy with the 97SS came over to me and said that his ss could take my iroc, i was like what ever i wasn't going to even bother with him

Dude.. nice race story. Show em what IROC is all about!

yes, 'IROC' I Rule Other Cars.

Thats what im talking about. Hold it down!!!

nice run

Do you guys think a 100 shot of nitrous would hurt on a stock engine if i didn't use it often?

Do you guys think a 100 shot of nitrous would hurt on a stock engine if i didn't use it often?

i believe on stock internals 160 shot on a v8 (120 on a v6)would be the highest you would wanna go, but philly is the selfproclaimed spokes person for nitrous so we will se what he says.

I've heard that a 100 shot of nitrous would be okay on a stock engine, i really don't want to use at all unless i go to the track because there's no way in hell i would do it on the streets, shit i'll go kill someone or myself

sounds like a hell of a run. i wish i could compete with 03 cobras..

smoke on a decent engine that is well taken care of and not beat up, a 100 shot will be just fine. if u do as u say and dont use it all the time im sure your car can handle it. i used it on my stock engine for awhile, started with a 75 shot and raised it to a 120. with the rebuilt engine it takes a 200 shot with a "back up" 100. but ill tell the truth i havent used it with the shot that high. but with what u are wanting u will be more than ok.

those cobra's are very quick especially with the supercharger pulley changed
====================================
don't know if you fellas have seen the 2004 Cobra on my site yet, but a couple nights ago I added a couple new vids.... the Cobra has changed his supercharger pulley and a few other goodies.

good runs man... your car sounds like it runs just as quick as mine... i'm a pretty much even match w/ supercharged cobras... i haven't really gotten a chance to race an '05 gt yet... but i have punked a few of 'em... i've noticed that ford guys often underesitmate the might of the 350... because there are so many worn out and choked 350's on the road that make the rest look bad... but any 350 that runs right and can breathe well is more than enough to take most fords :evillol:

LT1's and LS1's are 346's arent they? Im not trying to be a butt im just curious. Im pretty sure they are though.

lt1 is 350 and the ls1 is the 346

======================================
The Chevy 350 and the Ford 302 have the same size cylinder bore... both have a four inch bore. The 5.0 H.O Mustang and the 5.7 TPI IROC are basically dead even through the 1/4 mile. Here are some examples:

IROC-Z (L98) 0-100 ft. 3.2
0-500 ft. 8.2
0-1,320 ft. 15.3
1/4 mile speed - 90.5 mph
``````````````````````````````````````````
Mustang GT (5.0) 0-100 ft. 3.2
0-500 ft. 8.3
0-1,320 ft. 15.3
1/4 mile speed - 93.0 mph
```````````````````````````````````````````
but we know that the Mustang does not even come close on the road course, the IROC dominates the Mustang through the canyons, the IROC was ahead of its time in handling. I've seen tests and have personal footage showing both the 5.7 TPI IROC and the Mustang GT running 14.8s... and the Mustang LX being lighter, is quicker yet. Actually the 5.0 coupe (trunk cars) with the right driver can run 14.1 to 14.5s all day long... and thats all you will get out of a stock LT1.

I remember reading an article about this race car driver doing a test with both the 5.0 and IROC, same year and all. And said that the Mustang handled better but the IROC felt better when he was turning, so dont know.

Yeah, the 5.0 Coupe LX 5sp is real lite and a LT1 F-body could be a drivers race between the two even though I have seen mags and drivers get high 13's out of a LT1 stock and never seen it out of a 5.0 coupe but they are damn quick. Only drawback is when they come with Auto's. Ford makes some of the crappiest auto tranny's I have ever seen. I was reading in Muscle mustang and fast ford how some AOD lose 40% threw the drivetrain. Thats unheard of.

see thats why my ford got sold! and i drive a chevy..

the tpi is not what i was talkin about... tpi's are relatively choked by their long runners... that's why they are such torque monsters but hp numbers are lacking... if you take a carbed 350 w/ 650cfm or higher carb, headers, and full exhaust with a decent drivetrain... it will run very close to the force inducted fords...

DAMN 40% wtf.. Hey whats the name of the current automatic tranny that Chevy's using? Dont think they'd still be using the 700R4.. :lol:

They are currently using a 4l65-E but the 4th Gens 94+ got a 4L60-E and the 93 Got 4L60 (which was a 700R4 basically)

92Zcamaroperson, I just wanted to let you know that I dig your car man.... it looks fantastic. (hope that doesn't sound 2 gay...LOL!!!!) I'm going to try and put up some new links on my site that go to some pictures of my rides.

how much of a shot do you think an engine with forged rods, pistons, and a cast crank can handle?

well i have a friend whos ss takes close to 500 with 2 stages, first stage i think is a 250 shot and the rest on his second. but he spent alot of money in that engine and had to build a new tranny twice because he kept breaking it. hes now thinking about getting rid of the manual and also redoing his rearend. so to answer your question of how much would be the limit i wont lie im not sure how much u could take it up 2, we have an 1100 hp viper that runs a crazy sized shot on it so i have seen them pretty high. but for what he wants to do he will be just fine. on a stock bottom end a ls1 is said to be able to run a 150 shot with no problem and i have 4 people doing it and they have been for 2 years and they use it about 3 times a month. anyone running more than a 200 shot has forged internals, its like playing with fire if u dont do it then, its a matter of time before u burn something up. since i havent thought of going bigger than a total of 300 (200 followed by a 100) than i dont know, because when i built the engine, i asked our engine guy and a few other of the older guys could i do it. i play with nitrouse but dont get me wrong im not the big expert because many guys have been doing it alot longer than i have, but i do know alot about what u should and shouldnt do for certain set ups

dang geno are u gonna add the bottle to your car?

40% is ridicolous (spelling please), why so much?
