Bottom End?

[hustler8225]

hey i wondering what you could do to the gears or whatever to give your camaro more bottom end, like what type you would put in and how much work and money that would take, b/c i don't really care about goin fast at all i just want to get through the 1/4 mile in a fairly fast time or wicked fast, so if it was you what would you do to make your maro run faster on bottom end?

[Mr. Luos]

LT1 with 4.10's. That is bottom end.

How fast you want to go in the 1/4?


Anyone else think this thread was going to be about the bottom end of a motor?

[hustler8225]

runnin the 1/4 mile faster would be havin more bottom end atleast that is what i was thinkin so that is why i named the thread that sorry for the miss leadin i didn't think neboyd would be cryin bout it! oh yeah sorry for bein a dick to you, and thanks for the info!!

[Mr. Luos]

1/4 mile needs both top and bottem end power.

[hustler8225]

i want to run the 1/4 in atleast bout 13 seconds, lol that is pretty wuick for a lt1 on a 16 yr old budget i'm guessin, and before you say nething i know i over reacted to you and i'm sorry, lol i'm just new to this kinda shit and i hate it when people run their mouths even though it is on a computer i just i'm just not that mature lol

[Genopsyde]

you could break into the 13's with just the basic intake/exhaust mods iirc. But yea, 3.73's would be ideal gears for the task as well.

[Mr. Luos]

Run their mouths?? Who is running their mouth? Over reacting to what?

13 seconds with an LT1 car isn't bad. They are low 14 second car stock. You need to open it up intake and exhaust. Get some sticky tires, and you are in the 13's easy.

[hustler8225]

i'm an over reacter to nething if you knew me you would know what i am talkin bout i got to many enemies b/c i dunno how to shut up,lol but thats just me and i over reacted b/c you infered my name for the thread was stupid but lets drop it so my car is bone stock " i Guess" and i put a pipe( i want a borla dual catback), i want to get a k&n high flow intake, short throw shifter, and how much would 4.10's or 3.73's cost. So you guys think i would be runnin faster than 13 flat with that and some sticky tires, LORD YEAH!! and sorry for bein dick, damn i'm a real bitch i think i just realized that LOL

[Mr. Luos]

Whoa. I didn't think I meant to say anything about the title of the thread. I just thought something different is all.

4.10's with an manual, 3.73's with an auto. Gears cost $300 or so. Install is the expensive part.

[hustler8225]

ok the car is a 6spd (if i can ever get the title for it) then i'm sellin my atv and goin to put money in it since my parents wont give me money to make it run faster and i really don't want a job. What else would you do to it beside intake, exhaust, and gears. what bout chips and shit like that anything except for superchargers b/c i'm not ready for nething like that lol i don't even have my license's yet!!

[89IROC&RS]

with a six speed fourth gen running an LT1, i suggest...

LT4 conversion, you should be able to afford that from the ATV sale.

3.42 gears for good all around performance. and 13's should be a no brainer.

I would recommend steeper gears than that. Even more for the LT1.
Use the torque it has. M6 cars can handle 4.10's EASY.
If you want to keep streetablility, go with 3.73's.
My car is a 3.42 stock. I will bump up just a touch. 3.73's. That is a year or so away yet though. Next tax season.

[hustler8225]

yeah i was told bout that lt4 conversion today i am goin wit that for sure and gears and exhaust and that will put me back about 3500 and i should be in 12's is what i was told!

[FireFox05]

Turns out we might be building at the same time hustler, only I may be waiting some more months to get the car. MUST MOW MORE LAWNS!!!! I'm going to run a search right now about this LT4 thingy, I haven't heard about that before. Anyone care to add?

[89IROC&RS]

lol, well its not really an LT4 thingy, its a performance package that includes heads, intake, and cam. I think its supposed to be worth 405hp. No different than me putting on a set of vortec heads, Super ram intake, and custom camshaft. Just yours is in a convenient package.
