Re: Member's Ride's!!!

Most people think that a 350 Pontiac is fast. I had one for a while in one of my Firebirds that had a ton of money into it and everyone that rode in it thought that it was a 13 second car. Haaaa!!! It barely made it to the 14s. 14.99 and that was with headers,4 bbl, and a ton of tuning. A 400 will go way better and make more HP at a cheaper price. Check out my site. I like the 70-73 Birds alot. You need to check out www.performanceyears.com and go to forums. This will get you in the right direction.

Here's my toy. A 77 Firebird that I picked up a couple of months ago. It's going to become a drag car for the 2005 season. But the 305 2BBL has to go first...

Re: Member's Ride's!!!

Well if the picture is hosted already. You just get the web address for the image and post it like this
[img]your image address here[/img]
And it will auto link the image to the site.
If you don't have it hosted on a site already. Go to www.imageshack.us/ and they will host it and give you links already in format for posting on forums.
John

Edit- sorry I type like a person who need's some frontal lobe work. SO I missed the e in imageshack on my original post and fixed the link so it will work now.

Re: Member's Ride's!!!

What did you have done to your 350 to get 13.6 and what mph were you running at the end? I have yet to see any Pontiac 350 at the drags do a 13 second 1/4.

Re: Member's Ride's!!!

Also 13.6 with a 2 bbl. I cant help but call BS on this one. I suppose it also has the stock manifolds too. What year 400 do you have and what heads are on it. I can help you put power to the tires and then hook up so you dont just smoke em. It is very hard to get into the 12s with a 400. But with the stroker kits out now, you can save your money and buy a 468 CID kit for your 400 and then 12s would be easy. I have been into Pontiacs for 25 years and know what their potential is and their weaknesses. I have had 350s,400s 428s and 455s and I know how to make them run. I am also into Harleys and Corvettes but they take a back seat to my Firebirds. Even though my Corvette is a 454 Convertible.

Here are two of my cars. I actually painted the hard top in my driveway and it turned out killer!!! I replaced the rear quarter panels before the paint. The paint alone cost $1600.The convertible has a Tri Power set up and is a 4 sp with 3:42 posi rear end. It also has deluxe interior complete with a factory 8 track. Power top. Thrush side pipes.

Here are a few of my other cars and bike. The Corvette is a 454 Convert and the GTA is a factory 350 convertible. The red Firebird is the 12 second car that runs on Arco gas and runs super cool even in heavy traffic. It gets up and goe[IMG]s to the tune of 1.67 0-60 ft times and 0-60MPH in 3.7 seconds. Whoooo Hooooo!!!

I think you need to host them on that site I gave you above because where ever you hosted them know the format isn't supported here.

Thanks! I picked the car up for $1800. The 305 has a lot of miles on it and it's only a 2BBL, but I have plans for a 400-455 to go into it. Different transmission, of course. I took it to the track just to see what it would do. I was mildly surprised by a 17.04 @ 81 mph. I wasn't expecting even an 18 second pass.
