New Orleans - shreveport/bossier hang out!

11.36 @ 120 1.65 60' Final pass

And I'm on 1 tire fire lol. Well was anyway, now it just sits still and spins the driveshaft.

Ended up with a 11.8 @115 with a 1.59x 60ft. Ran 5 times, won 5 times. Good night I just wish it would pick up a little more 60ft and a little more on the backend.

I did some John Force burnouts too for fun.....

I got 2 videos of the night but they are shitty. Anyone one else have pics or vids they would like to share???

working on up loading some pics now! most didnt come out great due to dirty cars lol or to much tire smoke lol will be up soon. Wish they would do some T&T on Sunday so i could get some day pics

1 pic of the 6.slow s10

I figured Marty shit talking would change you mind!

Shane's pit man backed out on him,I told him I would have drug it 2 the track for him if I hadn't been working nights.Looks like you guys took advantage of some good air Nice times to all....... Its been 10 months sence my last fix...the smell of race gas and burnt tires in the air.All the chrome wheels and fat tires.The fresh night air with cool tunes playing in the back ground.The sounds of smack talking and bad axx cams bumping.....and every once and awhile the sight of hot & tan gearhead chick.......with a tramp stamp....,,wearing very little ......uhhh.... I'll be back shortly......got to go take care of something......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .:smokin2: thats better

LMFAO!! He make it out? I thought I seen his white SS.

Yep lol, got off at 2:30. Came home washed my car, hooked the trailer up, sprayed my truck off, and was about to load the car on the trailer when he texted me and said he wouldn't be able to make it. All that work for nothing. Oh well I will be off next weekend, I just hope it will still be cool. It's 9's or bust next weekend.

Sucks! I know Its gonna get in the mid 90's next week not sure if it will cool off as fast @ night. Same guy running my car said I ran better than his car did @ TRR. He ran 11.04 @ TCMSP so I might make it to TCMSP after I get off the stock springs.

Yeah it does, I will be going to Twin City next weekend. It's much closer for me than Thunder Road is.

anyone have a 2 bar map they need to get rid of?

anyone have a 2 bar map they need to get rid of?

I've got one in like-new condition.

I want it. PM me your number or call me 465-2709. I will come get it

You guys over on 318 have really got to lighten up. Stop letting that mighty internet mod power go to your head.
I didn't feel like divulging personal info and car pics(not to mention I have NO pics on my HD) just to read the forum.
Take it a little easier next time guys.

Did anyone run on normal street tires? I'd like to run mine for the first time next week, but don't want to waste my time.

Cody said I owed him a case :jest: I ran 5 times, and won 5 times. I never race slips, I race at the starting line. I'm gonna need a little extra to run with that car on the big end that's for sure.

318 racing. Local board of some type.
Apparently you have to start a thread and show your shit and then be approved just to read the forums.
I didn't feel like all that, nor am I into the street racing scene like all of them.
They didn't take well to me not giving them what they wanted. They have soft skin or weak egos.
They permabanned me real quick. :lol:
Just thought I'd let them know my intentions, several of them are on here.

Just make up something. Give em an alter ego with some ricer-mobile for a car. This is the internet, you can be whatever you want behind the protection of the mighty computer :eyes:

Your name should be StalkerJohnny! LMFAO

Haha, once I realized that the mods were gonna be dicks about not having pics and info, I decided to have a little fun.

Me and wade was like who is this this fool knows my name! LOL ban hammered!

:jest: you said out run not 60' :nod: car had more in it that's for sure, trying to get the qa1's from Mike but he won't come off them yet. I'm sure I can get 1.4 out of it I think the tire was hurting me also.

I only race slips lol. So I guess I beat steve

Oh you wanted to catch me on the big end so bad.......

so when did u get a billet grill and take this pic lmao lol

:eek2:

out with the 3:73's and in with the 3:08's. The 3:73 ring and pinion got messed up when the rear broke and the 3:08's were free. I dont plan on going back to the track until i have a "good" rear the the bottle on it. So until then ill just enjoy even better gas mileage. lol

Oh and i need a hood like Josh's if it draws that kind on attention lol.

Chris I want to see your slip, Todd said it ran good to the 1/8th and fell off so I want to compare slips.

I blew up the hoses in the tank to the dual walbros while I was there. Every time I started it it wouldnt hardly fire up. Got home and wouldnt start at all last night, and had no fuel pressure. Pulled the unit and had ruptured hoses. You can compare them if you want, but its two totally different setups that work differently, and mine is still having problems. I dont even hardly keep the slips anymore cause 11.30 for my setup isnt worth a damn. I ran 11.60's on motor. It fell off in the 1/8th cause I melted a brand new belt. I didnt have time to break it in there, so I just put it on and went to cranking and it messed it up in one pass

10-4 I didnt know if it ran hard to the 1/8 and then the belt threw or what. Sucks your having problems! I remeber people saying to make sure you have the submerge able fuel line in the tank and to the rubber stuff from the parts store

Looks like yall had a good time, i was out catching a buzz in the ocean deep sea fishing or ida been out there with! Sams old school camaro is off the chart isnt it lol

Im digging the pix of your truck on FB ;)

I've always run the efi line in my tanks and never had a problem. If its the cheap stuff it will get really soft and rip.

I do have efi line in the tanks, always do. And its the second time its done it. We retuned it today. And its on 2 bar os now. I think its good for a 10sec pass, but idk how deep in there. It did run good in the 1/8th, and after that it fell off comparing it to the slip before. This was after the new belt. Got done and it looked like bubble gum. Pulled the sending unit today and one hose completely blew off one of the pumps. I am gonna go back soon and see how it does. I say I am done with go fast parts but hell I am liable to buy heads and another intake if I dont like how the car does. Just have to see what she does. Shes dialed in now as good as it can possibly get without playing and making minute changes on a dyno. I really wanna build a shop now for it cause I am supposed to get a lift from a neighbor in a month or so. All I really want is a 12 bolt and a 4l80e with a brake.

Yeah I saw one wheel spinning once or twice. They both would go at 1st by when they got hot would brake loose to one wheel

Chris, don't forget about a couple of cutouts for the track too. Hard to push that much air through the y-pipe and full exhaust. That will help a little....if it's not fast enough. :D

lol sorry i got a kick out of this lol

http://youtu.be/XUdYg2sTh3c

Lmao!

My wife makes that sound when i start my truck! Boy does she have alot to learn lol...... I asked her what kinda motor i had in the truck and she said it was a four cylinder so i stomped it to the floor, boost crept up, and her head hit the back of the seat so i asked her what was under the hood? :]

Say fellas long time no see! Well anyways i have this Mcloud flywheel still sitting at my house resurfaced and all was gonna ask in here because i dont want to ship it. $100obo. So how is everyone these days?

Todd a/f should be at 11.5 or 12.5 at wot on my setup? Thought it was 11.5 but has been around 12.5 today. 171kpa shows me to be making about 10lbs of boost. Sounds like I have some leaks going on somewhere

ahhhhh shit lol

I should be getting my subframe connectors tomorrow, anyone know who could weld them on for me? all I need to do is sand down the sfcs on the edges it's gonna be welded on correct?

ahhhhh shit lol

When do i get my ride in that beast!

Whenever you text or call me lol. Still on 10lbs, leaking somewhere

anyone know of a ls1 Trans AM for sale? feeling froggy to buy another one...

With your setup, I'd shoot for somewhere between 10.5:1-12.0:1. Out of your choices, it should definitely be 11.5:1, IMO.

Chris,

Should be 11.5 when at wot. It read 11.5 - 11.8 last night. Not sure why it was different for you today. Unless, of course, you looked right when you got on it or right when you got off of it, or right at a shift point or you didn't have belt slip like you did last night, or didn't have second fuel pump on, or blew a fuel line, etc. :eyes: Last night, you reached 161 kpa, not 171 kpa....just fyi. Like I said last night, the boost was sporadic. Like you have belt slip or something similar. More than happy to do some more tweaking for you when you're ready. (but you're coming to me next time...:D)

hmm well 161 is even worse lol. Wired both pumps on continuously and tightened the belt this morn. Watched the gauge through several wot pulls, 12.5 the whole time. I am gonna test the system and check for leaks. This car should be a lot faster than what it is, and 161 is about 9lbs, there is still a lot left on the table considering I should be close to 15lbs

I show a little over 23 psi (23.35 psi) I also show 23.67 psi (Depends on which table and math you do) is equal to 161 kpa.

My truck has a lock up 700r4 and a 3:08 gear now with a holley 750 carb. Truck may weigh 3000 lbs. What kind of gas mileage do yall think it gets. Stall locks up at 45 mph

Oh and long time no see Josh.

I'm turning 2,100 rpms at 80

If fueling went to 12.5, then that's why she feels slow. I know we were in the 11s with afr last night. The only thing different from when we were tuning and now, is that I turned LTFTs back on. Maybe I need to turn them back off for the fueling to be the way it was while we were tuning.

I may be running 23psi, but thats still only ~9lbs of boost. I just need to cap and look for leaks is all.

I've got a like new nitrous works 10lb bottle for sale. I had it filled last week for the first time and the Hawley was leaking so It was taken to bearing services to get fixed and they messed the sticker up. It's never been bolted into a car. I'll take $100 for it. Oh and its yellow.

Gasket

I should be getting my subframe connectors tomorrow, anyone know who could weld them on for me? all I need to do is sand down the sfcs on the edges it's gonna be welded on correct?

I can tig em just put some cash in the ole truck fund lol! do you have a picture of what you want done?

Shane i would say your getting around 25mpg, welcome back you to hope to meet you guys soon, gonna pick my car up tomorrow from Tylers and mess around a lil. Sucks I see all these Damn vettes and shit when im in my truck and only run up on v6 mustangs and stock 10+ ss camaros :( I want to skull Fuck a vette so bad!!! :jest: Chris (both of them) get them cars on kill! I want to have to spray this thing to keep up! Ta Chris have you looked into the belts they use in top fuel ect (not sure what they are called) with the ones that run cross ways on the belt not long ways? I seen the same setup on the for sale adds that's why I asked.

Those are Cog belts.

I want more than anything to have this thing running ASAP.

A few more thrown belts and I will make the switch to a cog. I just gotta get things ironed out. I am leaning mostly to the pos intercooler if have

Well from my math today its getting 28+.

Where were you when I ran into a C6 Z06 yesterday? :( Got him from 60-100 then he put 2 cars on me in an instant and shut down:cry:

I wouldn't sand them down. Whoever welds them will want them sanded their way. I usually take a thin grinder wheel to the spots that need to be welded. Takes 5 secs. You could likely pull up to just about any muffler shop and they could zip em on for you real quick.

Seems like an intercooler leak would be constant and not intermittent. But that's just me guessing.

11 car drag race......the ferrari was about to put something on the GTR's ass had the race been a tad longer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDP7Pty8Qnw&feature=youtu.be

Never seen a zo6 run that slow. I drove my friends never ever drove the car and I ran a 11.3 spun little too. 100% Stock to the paper filter. Even the MPH is low. I wanna say they normally pull 126-128mph

Stock with driver mod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdW9EgHjDpA&sns=em

Stock with drag radials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zv5RDzwS4g&sns=em

SIC...you're a big meanie! Cody is feeling good about his car....let him feel that way. Besides, I've heard of a heads cam C6 ZO6 run slower at the Shreveport Track. Track conditions, DA, etc all play a factor.

Chris....had a thought about your afr this morning. Maybe, since you tightened your belt up yesterday, you actually started making some good boost, and I haven't been able to calibrate your afr under high boost yet (since we didn't see it while tuning). Once you get a working boost gauge on there, we'll know better what's going on (so you and I aren't driving back and forth (Longview to Shreveport) over and over again for troubleshooting.) If you were under high boost yesterday and you were only getting 12.5 afr, the car would feel weak. (so maybe things finally started working). Get a boost gauge on there, then run while watching boost and afr, then let me know.

How did you ever come out? Cam bearings ok? Did you ever run it with the new pump?

Not sure yet. I'm in like a 2 week span of exams at school so play time is hard to find.
The front and rear cam bearings are good. I've asked a buddy to borrow his inspection camera but I hate bothering people even though he's said he would. I'll probably go buy one in the next couple of days so I can inspect the inner 3 cam bearings.

And if they check out....what's your next move?

And if they check out....what's your next move?

That's the question I am thinking about....

I'm only a few bolts from pulling the engine out at this point. Pulling the engine would be the best to check behind the rear cover, oil pan and lower bearings.

However, I'd hate to do all that work and it simply be a failed Melling pump or something. Double edged sword... :bang:

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I thought the original and easiest plan was to swap pumps first and then see where you are at. At this point you are at a fork in the road.

That was my original plan until I saw that guys rear cam bearing walk back. That that point, I was only a few bolts away from checking those out and I simply can't put everything back together to test it when he is having the EXACT same problem when I'm that close to it.

Wow :eek: Coming outta the woodwork.

Hey Steve:D

Why not set up a boost gauge in the HPT Scanner? That would save him from having to buy one.

Hell there where 2 Zo6's @ the track a few weeks ago one H/C the other H/C pro-charged. H/C ran 12.0 and pro charged ran 11.5 on radials shreveport never see good times! I can go to Twin city and prolly see 11.0 or better!

6 Speed corvette's aren't easy to drive to a good ET. I see someone posted a video of "Ranger". He is probably one of, if not the, best 6 speed vette drivers around. His E.T.'s are abnormal for the average driver, to say the least.

A thing to look at are the trap speeds. His bone stock Z06 traps 129 on drag radials.

You won't see that big of a difference Cody, I have always run around a tenth better at most at Twin City. Track conditions and the DA all have a bigger effect on your times. I usually 60ft a little better at Monroe.

We where leaving just off idle because of traction issues hope to leave around 2500-3200, if I can make up some time on the 60' it should be close.

The 11.36 pass was a hot lap because the tower didnt get a time so we pulled around and waited in line to run for a few mins. If it was cold we have seen .1-.3 tenths diff and I might ice the intake next time. Plus we are seeing 2+ deg of knock so some 108 or 110 mix will help. I might get Todd to do a 108-110 race gas tune to load on track days with the compresson I have it will like it.

Of course I'll put some cash in the truck fund! These are the best pictures I could find, but these are 3 point. Mine are just 2 points.

im assuming they weld to the body? just gimmie a call and we will set a date to do it, 318-286-5975

Why not set up a boost gauge in the HPT Scanner? That would save him from having to buy one.
Because it's my HPT and I will probably tune someone elses car before I come back to him again. So, I don't want to leave my HP Tuners with him when I need it elsewhere. I can see the kpa when we tune, but he had massive variance in boost while we were tuning. The idea is for him to get his boost lined out so we don't keep making trips back and forth from Longview to Shreveport to only have belt slippage or a boost leak. I want him to fix the boost problem before I come back and get afr lined out again. So, a boost gauge to go along with his wideband will let him know before I come back to hook up hp tuners.

Yep, the car was pleanty warm on that trip. I know a cooler intake will make it quicker (let alone weight reduction, sway bar removal, better tires, etc).

I want him to fix the boost problem before I come back and get afr lined out again. So, a boost gauge to go along with his wideband will let him know before I come back to hook up hp tuners.

You can have different scanner configs for various cars. I also wasn't implying you should leave it with him. I was just saying that you don't have to have an aftermarket boost gauge to tune when its right there in HPT.

He needs a boost gauge and afr gauge in his car period....... reguardless is HPT is hooked up to it or not imho

All I was saying is that he doesn't need to go buy one to troubleshoot a boost leak problem or to continue to tune. It's all in HPT.

I have my a/f installed all I have to do is wire the gauge up and plug in my computer and go. saved todd a few mins by having it in all he had to do was unplug my harness and plug his in.

Yep, the car was pleanty warm on that trip. I know a cooler intake will make it quicker (let alone weight reduction, sway bar removal, better tires, etc).

Gonna cut it off today its rusted up bad on the bolt.

Of course I'll put some cash in the truck fund! These are the best pictures I could find, but these are 3 point. Mine are just 2 points.

Yeah they just bolt to the lca and weld on Front side to frame.

anyone want a 90MM nitrous plate from HW?

I realize what you were saying Chris, and was using my HPT to check everything as I scan. That's how we realized he is having boost problems. My point is that we spend a lot of time troubleshooting when we should be tuning. I would like his problems solved before we tune this next time. Both he and I have made several trips back and forth for tuning when things have gone wrong. So, just stating that if he can check everything before I get there, it will really help things out. :D

Cody, Chris is set up the same way. He runs a LM1 that I just plug into. All he needs is his boost gauge (that works...lol) so he can monitor things as they happen without needing me there to point him in a direction. That way we know if the car, blower, or a sensor is acting up.

We where leaving just off idle because of traction issues hope to leave around 2500-3200, if I can make up some time on the 60' it should be close.

Are you talking about your car? I think you will find your best 60ft leaving off idle. With an M6, the higher the rpm, the harder the hit....but with an auto it's quite the opposite. Bet there is a few auto guys here that will agree. I know for a fact mine and TA Chris (when his was NA) both cut our best 60 leaving off idle. He can tell you, he tried leaving at a bunch of different rpms.

Ahh Gotcha! :cheers:

So what do they make trans brakes for?.....:confused:

Leaving off a trans brake (R+D engaged at the same time) and leaving from drive only is two completely different things. Do what you want, I'm just trying to help from my experience at the strip.

The cars will flash and leave harder if leaving off idle (if no transbrake). However, I've always had bad luck (breaking tires loose). I always prefer to put a little tension on the drivetrain (ie 1500 rpms or so). That way I take less of a chance breaking drivetrain components if it does hook. I have still cut 1.3-1.5 60' times doing it that way. Where leaving off idle, I've cut 1.6 60' times due to tire spin. But, under perfect conditions,01ssreda4 is correct.

Ever since getting ET Streets, my car just hooks. I can leave as hard as possible, at any rpm and it just dead hooks. Not quite sure why, but I'm not complaining either. They will spin some cold on the street though.

If you heat your tires up properly during burnout, you will find that leaving at idle in an
M6 will cause a severe bogging down. I achieved my best time on this car's 10-bolt with 4.10 Motive gears by getting the Kumho street tires really hot, and then gently slipping the clutch at 2500 or so RPM, with the throttle punch coming immediately upon feeling the hook. That entire movement from clutch slip to throttle punch happens in less than 1.5 seconds. Just my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Mine launches fine. It's the top half of first that I break loose ;)

Anyone got a spare A4 console laying around......Black would be great.....but I will take any color.....I will just paint it.

Looking for a car for my 16 girl...something that gets around 25-35 mpg.Looking to spend around 7k or less. Accord,civic,toyota celica,camry,acura ect. ect.I do have a 2000 chevy shot bed,reg cab,v6,ac,auto and custom sound system.I could do a trade w/cash.Looking to get $4200 for the truck.

Just got back from Montana. My gamble of trucks being worth more back home paid off. My lifted Diesel was for sale for 2 months down here, and I sold it for asking price in a week up there. Rather than flying back, I got this gem for $200 over invoice before rebates. I love the new 5.0 despite wanting an ecoboost originally. It had 6 miles on it, they had it in back and hadn't put it in the front lot yet.

Good deal! Looks good!

If anyone wants to sell some used 275/50r15 drag radials or normal street tires hook me up:devil:

Leave on 15 lbs of boost! :D

Ok so I took my coil packs off the other day to paint them cause they were looking kinda crappy. Well I pulled the wiring out and coils and set them aside so just like they came off so they wouldn't get crossed up. Did that once before and learned from the mistake. Put all new NGK's and MSD wires on, plugged in the harnesses and go to fire it up and the car wont start. Went back and double checked everything and it fired up but was missing it's ass off.

Next, I pulled all plugs and the drivers side was clean like they never fired and the passenger side was black and sooty which led me to believe the ECM compensated some how and dumped tons of fuel into that bank. Thinking I somehow criss crossed the coil wiring, I flipped both sides and the car started popping terribly so I new that the way I had it was right, but something went wrong some where.

Any ideas? This shouldn't have happened since it's basically a plug swap that I've done several times over the past 5yrs I've owned the car and countless other vehicles. Kinda frustrated at the moment and wanted get some outside feedback.

Has anyone ever experienced just a bad harness? The whole driver's side bank is dead. That's really odd.

Mine launches fine. It's the top half of first that I break loose ;)

On street tires it will be worse at the track then on the street. Ask Andy. He is just a bolt on m6 car and he spun all the way down the track. On street he is fine.

Anyone in town running a 4l80e tranny? i have some good componets for sale, transbrake, converter, and a deep pan

What did you go with Ryan?

Josh is it throwing codes? Are the plugs gaped right? Are you sure everything is plugged in, did you disconnect the battery before you unplugged the coils? Try and disconnect the battery for a lil wile (15-30mins) and see if that helps

Im gonna go TH400, and josh had a blown injector fuse... I figured with a 3.42 gear and a 30" tall tire i can get down the highway ok still and be 115lbs lighter

I tae it he forgot to undo the ground off the battery before he started, thats good it was a .50 fix

Yeah luckily it was just a blown fuse. Took her out to "clean" the plugs off :D

:jest:

How do you think some 275/40/17 MT ET Streets would do on my current rims? Can't afford to go all out on rims and tires yet.

They will be great, but you daily drive your car and drag radials + rain = bad. Plus the MT's only last about 5k miles, Nittos would do well also and last 20k mi. Im gonna put some hoosiers on the 15's and NT05R on my 18's

What kind of wheels? I agree on the nittos for an everyday dr. They will give you more mileage for your money. If your running a 9" wheel you can get away with a 315 nitto in a 17". They run a little thinner than all the other 315's.

What josh said.

315/??/17 ? My rims are 17x9.

315/??/17 ? My rims are 17x9.

315/35r17

I've read that the nt555r will fit 17x9 but the nt05r is a hair wider and will balloon more. Anyone know?

Who the FUCK gets 20k out of a set of radials??? I get about 2k out of a set of 17" M/T's and maybe 15k out of 285/40/20 nitto street tires... you guys baby your cars too much...

I think there's a pretty good difference in longevity between Nittos and MTs. Traction too of course.

There is a tread on here where a guy put 25k on the 555r's, if you dont do burnouts, go to the track every week, street race you can on nittos. I have 1900 on my MT's and they are ok for street driving but not any wot runs under 50.

Took a chance money wise and bought some Nittos for the race stars...I want to powder coat the wheels black, I've read up Witt's is a good place could anyone confirm this? The wheels will be 15x10 race stars. I'll order the skinnies next play paycheck lol

Witt's has done every powder coating job I've ever had and everything has turned out nice. It seems that quite a few new powder coating places have shown up in the area as of late. Also, you may want to check out Martin Specialty Coatings. They do good work also.

Thanks!

Yall can try if yall want but you can not hook a m6 on a radial tire, at least you cant leave like I would leave on a m6. You might be able to slip the hell outta the clutch and get sub 2.0 60ft time outta them, which I have never been a fan of doing. Take it from someone who has tried....a lot. If it were me and I had to have a radial on the m6 I would get a mt on a 15in wheel or a hoosier on a 15in rim. They will be a lot better if you just had a reg street tire on this whole time, you might be actually able to grab 2nd hard and not fish tail all over the road. You have got to have the sidewall on a 6spd to hook, and a bias ply works the best, just not for a dd. If I had to do it again I would dd a bias ply though

I liked the ET Streets I ran once on the track, hooked great and killed my clutch. My car is a DD and I mostly care about fun on the street with rolls and such. with the 245 bfg gsports any roll under 50 I'm blowing the tires off. and going to the track once or twice when a large group goes and run myself is something I want to do.

I've only had a 1.9 once and the stock clutch wouldn't let me shift into 2nd. So If I can do anything less than 2.0s then I'm happy.

Andy, I took my 20s to Larry's powder coating, that is like a 1/4mi from Witts. Dude hooked me up big time, did my 20s for 200 bucks. He originally told me $260 and two weeks, he called me 4 days later and told me to come get them, $200 cash. He even got a BAD divot out of the rim, from when I ran over something in the road. I would recommend Witts for smaller stuff, any bigger surface stuff though, I just don't feel they take the time to prep the surface very well. Just my .02... take it for what its worth

Not sure on the NT05R's

I dont baby mine, but I dont particularly care to be sideways everywhere or smoking the tires down. The DR's control the car much more on the street than street tires do.

I agree with Cody. DD'ing our cars takes the fun out of them for most of us. But alot of us like the overall aspect of it. I could drive mine everyday and be happy. I did it for a year after my divorce (which is why it's slightly demodded). I enjoyed it cause it's fast, clean, and still cool to me. I remember wanting a 98 SS that Ken Burnham Chevy (thats old school there lol) had in minden the year I graduated but couldn't afford the insurance. Been wanting one ever since.

What Chris says is the truth. I've been saying that for years and so has some other guys that have tried and tried. A bolt on M6 is about the only time radials do some good. After a cam, you need some stickies if you wanna see the full potential of the car. If you have a really good suspension setup they may do better but you'll still over power them at some point in the rpm band. As mentioned earlier though, I think DR's are good for the street to help control the car. I've pretty much grown out the whole getting sideways and doing burnouts. I dont mind it from time to time but not every time I'm in the car.

Are you serious? lol Your car must spin. Stallin the car higher WILL give you a better 60ft Cody.

When I had Nittos I had trouble getting it to hook. Now with ET streets, it hooks every pass. It has never spun at the track. Maybe your combo worked a little different but all the ones I have seen give better 60fts leaving off/near idle.

Thanks!

yup witt is who i told you. just let me know been there a few times. They told me it was $200 for a set to powdercoat

Was told wheels should get here Monday/Tuesday so I'll probably have to take them during my lunch unless they're open past 4. onlinetires hasn't shipped the nittos yet and that kind of annoys me...

My car will net the best 60ft times leaving off an idle, and thats with no spin. The higher i stall the car, the softer the launch and the slower my 60ft times get

When we went out before, I was cutting right around 1.70s or so. This was leaving around 2k. Last time out I tried about 1500 and cut high 1.6x. From there on out I dropped it to idle, and cut low 1.6x and high 1.5x.

My first time out in an auto I thought if I stalled it up it would leave the best. I tested it before the tree just to see how hard I could push the car before it would push through the brakes, I forget what it was. So I left there, and started the night out cutting high 1.7's or low 1.8's I think it was. I progressively went down from there using steves advice, and by the end of the night I had it down to 1.60. This was before the blower. I have never tried boosting the car off the line, cause I cant seem to really get a clean pass out of the car right now with all the issues I have been having with it, plus I am on a 10 bolt still. So I try to keep it around 1.60 for the time being

Mine leaves better the higher its stalled. First was 1.98 and then a 1.82.

Oh, and then it went boom with another 1k rpms lol

it all depends on what stall u have

Found us a house. Signing the papers and getting the keys tomorrow at 12. It's a 3/1.5 brick house with a big shop in the back yard. It's a little more than I wanted to spend but I got a nice raise and the wife got a good job also so it should be gravy.

Oh and like I said before. The s10 is about to get a whole lot faster now that I won't be driving it to and from town (150ish miles). It would be more like 10 miles now lol.

Congrats on the house.

Think we got lucky on our place. Looks at ten other houses in this price range and they were junk compaired to this place. Big back yard for dog, 1600sqft 3br two bather and carport

Well were going to rent this place first and see how we like it. It's a nice place and sits on about an acre. The shop is what sold me on the place, that and its location. Rent is 1000 a month but I'm sure ill make half that by working on peoples cars when I get off work or on the weekends. I have a few side gigs that pay pretty good and being back in town will bring a lot more money my way. I know a bunch of people that need me to do stuff for them but being an hour away makes it hard to do. Between me and my wife bring home is around 1000 a week from our jobs. Living down here I normally bring an extra $200 home a week from side shit.

When we went out before, I was cutting right around 1.70s or so. This was leaving around 2k. Last time out I tried about 1500 and cut high 1.6x. From there on out I dropped it to idle, and cut low 1.6x and high 1.5x.

Ive had a FEW cars. Ive never had one 60ft better from lower rpms off the footbrake. Thats the reason in putting a convertor in one, to get the motor into its desired rpm range quicker. When leaving from a lower RPM, It flashes the convertor to the desired rpm quicker, but hits the convertor hard causing the car to bogg in a sense. The only reason a car would lose 60ft over stalling it up higher was that it was spinning. Unless the convertor isnt right for the application. But im sure its a little diffrent on a little slower car.

Round One... FIGHT!!!

But im sure its a little diffrent on a little slower car.

I'll admit I've had several engine/car related ideas for a tat, but it's hard to decide when you know its gonna be there forever.

Who did the art work? I've been using Skull & Bones as of late. The chick did my last one and it turned out better than I had imagined in my head.

Wade and Cody Avery got it also, Tc @ Red River Tattoo on Airline done it.

Anyone have a set of 7.4 push rods for Andy?

I do.

Bet the guys with the LT1 tats are jealous!

I had a weird couple days. Yesterday I walked over to the Camaro to start up the dirty whore after ~2 months of sitting there. Car wouldn't start. Turned over great, fuel pressure gauge showed good pressure, oil pressure built up while it was cranking, no security light. "WTF could this be?" I thought.

Hooked it up to the scanner and found a crankshaft position sensor code. My hypotheses was that the sensor was bad and that the injectors weren't being told to fire.

Today after church I pushed her ugly ass back to my driveway from my extended parking lot, jacked her up a little, and pulled the starter off. I unclipped the wire from the sensor and pulled the sensor out. Sensor looked great. I put in another sensor I had laying around and thought to follow the wire back up to see if it had gotten burnt. YEP! Melted to shit.

I cut out the burnt portion and repaired them with ghetto ass butt connectors. Put the starter back in; CRANKED RIGHT UP!

I love it when it's an easy and cheap fix!

Not my fault all the so called "faster" cars are always broke ;)

Your right, my car has oil pressure issues. But it still runs just fine if you would like to line them up for some cash:D

I've got a couple stock oil pumps if you want one.

Your right, my car has oil pressure issues. But it still runs just fine if you would like to line them up for some cash:D

That's the crazy thing. Mine has low oil pressure but in the 5+ years I have owned it, It's never run as smooth as it is right now. I tore into it just because I'm a OCD kind of guy.

Love my ported ls6 pump, 55@ idle and 80@ wot.

Mine is low as well but still well within specs. I'm sure its due to a leaky rear cover though. I noticed the leak right about the same time I started noticing the pressure difference.

Gonna take care of all that when I put in a new clutch soon.

Did Andy bend a pushrod?

Did Andy bend a pushrod?

We've traced the ticking back to what probably is a badly bent pushrod, I have missed gears pretty badly before so I wouldnt be suprised if a lot more were bent. but this one is an audible tick. I prefer new pushrods, is that what you have Hilton? and right now I'm looking into something else aswell I just hope it works out.

Nope! I have FREE pushrods. They're not bent though.

Free?:pimp: very well then Sir! If you'd could tell me when and where I could snatch those from you that'd be awesome

Yeah his car has like 145,000+ miles on original parts. The stock push rods u miss one gear bad the stock ones bend. So should be bent. Are yours hilton stock or aftermarket?

60' head start?

Naaa lol

I just trashed my pushrods today when I was packing. On the other hand almost everything is moved. Now we start unpacking after work tomorrow.

He is looking for some aftermarket ones.

60' head start?

That would depend on how many curves the track has. If there is enough, I might be giving him a lead :devil:

.....no

Wasn't aware drag cars were fast around curves.....

He is looking for some aftermarket ones.

Mine are stock ones I pulled at ~28k miles. They're pretty simple to swap out. I was just trying to get him back up and running.

Nothing is wrong with his car running great. Just tring to eliminate a tick.

i'll take the stock ones and if that eliminates it i'll later on upgrade. but can't beat free to see if it fixes the tick. I will call you after I get off work, Hilton.

Also, anyone know a place that has 275/50r15 nitto 555rs in stock? apparently they're on backorder nationwide for 6-8 weeks.

Tire rack is the biggest tire warehouse in town. You could check there.

They don't carry Nittos they were my first option, I know they carry BFG drag radials...but last time I had those they lasted very little, but that was me going to the track 3 weekends in a row doing like 20 passes per weekend. The wheels are here and they look amazing and now I want them on the car even more lol

Also, all of you were right, Subframes rock. Helps that Ryan is an awesome tig welder:hump:

When is everyone getting together again? Since it's cooler outside let's all get together at the track one night. Maybe cook some burgers, drink beer and do what everyone does best around here. TALK SHIT.... lol

I was just wondering when Chad would come out of the wood works :jest:

Lol he showed up to faint with two nice fbodys lol I'm down for beer and burgers anytime.

It's all good. Those 9.5 wide vette wheels are heavy and the steel 15x8's that the 30 inch tall slicks were on were really heavy. I'm looking into a drag setup also but the rears will be bolted to a Ford 9 inch. No more rolling it off the line. Lol

Got the rear 15x10 Race Stars on with BFG Drag Radials, I love these things! Will be getting the fronts next paycheck hopefully but these go pretty well with my stockers. No grinding, although the left one did grind on some of the wheel weights.

Lookin good andy. Where did you order the wheels from?

Be nice to the 10 bolt though, it doesn't play well with.....................anything lol

Thanks, I ordered them from Jim's Racing tires Got them both for $418 Free shipping and accessories.

I might go to track once or twice but now I can actually do low rolls:devil:

That sounds like a good price. I was wondering about them since they dont require grinding (or very very little if they do) for some stickies when the time comes. Ready to lift the fronts again, especially when the new setup gets finished :devil:

Those look good.

Found you some fronts

Thanks and those are too expensive it'll be like $338 for new wheels and I'm going to get street tires. I'm assuming it's the Hoosiers that make it that expensive and then I'd have to pay for shipping.

Looks good Andy!

Thanks Boss, can't wait to see what she runs at the track the next time I take her. I hope i'll finally break into the 12s

Bought a Walbro 255 for a project. An 04 5.3 into an 81 vette. This pump only puts out 14 lbs for some reason. I need 57 lbs. Does anyone have a good inline fuel pump or know where I can buy one in Shreveport/Bossier? I would like to hear the motor run and this is all I need! Darrel 422-2742

Are you using a aftermarket external regulator? Check the fuel filter? Voltage going to the pump? Cracked Fuel Lines?

Is it a low pressure pump? Maybe for a carb application?

It's the fuel regulator, 81's are carb so you need another regulator, 14lbs are on par with that yr.

No worries....you're there. Once you get the launch on those figured out, you're probably mid 12s.

I like the race stars. But my favorite is the Bogarts. Chris A used to have some. I REALLY like them with the 17 inch front runners :drool:

Well Im back working again so in a month or so Ill be able to get me a toy to play with unless I build the foxbody I got.

Good Deal!

looks good andy! on the used set of fronts those front tires are worthless to andy so its cheaper for him to buy then new and just get some 165/80's

bogarts are nice but cost to much and break easy on street!

Well Im bored and I officially hate fords now. The upper ball joint just went out on my truck and it looks like a dirt track car now that been beat to hell and back and this happened after my mustang decided it wanted to catch fire.

Fire bad!!!

Anybody hittin the track tomorrow? Me and the ol lady is gonna head out there.

Wedding's is for chicks. Track is for men and cool chicks lol

sic what brand 165 front runner do you have? i think im going to get some tomorrow if they have them around town.
