150MPH is Hell!!!!

[tricksaturnsc2]

You're telling me you have 490 to the wheels stock? and w/ that much hp you only run a 13.1? you would be running 11s if you had that much.

[JekylandHyde]

The only way 490 HP = 107 mph traps is if your car weighs 5000+ lbs .... which if highly unlikely.

Regardless of your automatic, lack of LSD wheel spin ... your trap speed would be much higher. If fact, excessive tire spin may increase your mph in the 1/4 mile.

Something really doesn't add up here.

Thanks ... I have and I understand. *sigh*

No sweat. What can you do??

I'm still waiting for him to publish his pictures though.

aerodymanics maybe... is your car lower???

[pitbullgst]

his car is lower, in the power he thinks it makes. if he really did have it dynoed it was a happy dyno. one the shop wants to make there customers happy not informed. later . . . .

490HP STOCK??? Ha.
Believe it or not, get a spoiler. You need downforce. And I mean a REAL spoiler, not some riceboy special.

People like that give Camaro owners a bad name

I don't get this thread at all. If you're going to make something up, why make something up that even if it was true would make you look like a moron that can't drive? Here we have:

Owned for making something up
Owned for not being able to drive
Owned for not having a clue about aerodynamics
Owned for driving way too fast
Owned for being a moron
Owned for having a car that has insufficient suspension for its power
Owned for having insufficient brakes for the power
Owned for misqoting stock HP

I don't think I've ever seen this much self ownage in this short of a time before.

^^lol, he did say he had it stroked. who in the hell strokes for hp? since after all its HP that brings your top speed up not torque (which stroking is done to gain torque, HP isjust a side effect of gaining torque in any given RPM band)
Lowering your car, putting a front air dam in, putting a rear bumper that will evacuate traped air under the car and putting a working spoiler on the car will keep you from begining to lift off of the ground. why?
Well a car is shaped like an arofoil (airplane wing). The air on top of the car is moving much faster than the air below the car. this creates a high pressure under the car causing lift. what will the previously mentioned modifications do?

Lowering: This will put the bottom of your car lower to the ground (of course) which will allow for less air under the car less air=lesspressure=less lift.

Front Air Dam: This prevents air from getting under your car in the first place. If air cant get in it cant get traped and it cant cause a high pressure.

Rear Bumper Designed to Evacuate Traped Air: This will keep what ever air flow you have under the car mvong as fast as possible keeping the pressure down and there for deminishing lift.

Spoiler: it does exactly what its name says. it "Spoils" the flow of air on top of the car causing it to slow down and there for alowing fir a slight pressure rise on the top known as Downforce. you want a spoiler that can create maximum downforce with minimum drag. Even JC whitney spoilers will give downforce but the benifits from down foce will no longer be needed because they cause massive drag.

What I don't understand is this...

The guy strokes his 302, and builds a 580 hp motor. Takes 300 lbs off of his 3600 lb car.

NOW we've got a 3300 lb, 580 hp car running 13's...

His mention of "stock" was his suspension by the way. He was explaining what he had done to reduce the vibration.

Personally, I think the car has around 260 to the wheel and weighs about 3500 lbs... and I've never met the guy.
