1000hp is easy to make in an ls1? are you for real? this coming from a guy with 330hp. be serious man, if it were that easy or cheap you would have it, I would have it, and anyone serious about modding cars. Now I wasnt trying to compare fast hondas to fast ls1's but running 9's or 10's is very fast and doesnt come easy in any car. and they are much faster than me or you.

Do you actually know the money involved in making a turbo fbody put out over 600hp and be reliable ? plus the fact that the car itself cost a pretty penny. people need to learn to not be so butt hurt.

if an ls1 makes 600hp and run 10's..

"OMG that is awesome wish my car was that fast "

but if a Honda runs 10's..

"So what Ls1's runs 8's "

grow up.

They may not be your cup of tea but fast is fast no matter what. and you dont have to sink 10k into them to make them move.
9.5@153mph is damn faster than you will ever go.

 

I ran a 21.09 1/4 in a nitro gocart...Cost? A couple G's. A couple yrs ago I had a lawn mower that could do wheel stands all day. Cost? About a grand in extras on top of the initial. Some of you are speed boat people. I for sure am. How fast can you make a boat do a 1/4 on the water? Pretty damn quick, but the importance is how fun it is. If you don't like one thing, you move on to something else. It's all in what you personally enjoy.

Have any of you gone up against one of the newer *factory* Suburu SI's? I lined up to one with my M6 SS when it was stock. Talk about competition...I have plenty of pwr shift racing experience and he danced off with my $50 and not to mention my manhood...Chances are good he gets better fuel economy as well...'Oh but he had AWD'. Who the hell cares, plain and symple, his all factory confetty shooter beat my oh-so-powerful LS-1 6sp...That's life-face it...

The whole car is a COMBO. This COMBO includes weight as well. Who the hell cares if a Honda B is 1000lbs lighter than an F-body...That just makes them that much more efficient per size. It takes less torque to scoot those little wadds of seasoned rice down the track. The motors may be weaker, but your car is heavier. Niether really has the advantage. Everything is a trade-off. Less weight requires less torque (ie: less cylinders). More weight requires more torque (ie: more cylinders). It aint rocket science guys...

And don't take me as a 'Go Honda' flied lice person either. I'd pay to hear my wife's blistering nagging before you could pay me to listed to a 4 cylinder popcorn machine...

 

You'll grow up kid...Maybe not anytime soon, but you'll get there eventually...

Read a little closer...'when it was stock'. I'd suggest perhaps thinking a tad before trying to sound like some big dog next time...I was proving a point which your juvenile little mind obviously didn't catch onto...

He's the story once again, that 100% stock STI with a neigborhood kid as a driver, beat me in my '99 M6 SS (when it was 100% stock) and many yrs of pwr shifting experience. He won, period. Just something you'll have to live with kid...

I so far have around $10k in the current solid roller LS-1 build for my WS.6. That's not counting a few in freebies. Just a tad more serious than your 415 ponies...I'm certainly not by any means 'Mr. Inexperience'...

It's too bad you don't have to pass some sort of a maturity test to become a member here...

 

Oh yee of little experience...

Maturity will come with age mi son, don't you worry...

 

What the hell are you talking about? 'update your sig'

Don't you have to get some sleep before school tomorrow kid?

 

you dont want to see the setup he has once it comes out of surgery , should make your 415rwhp seem stock.

 

 

how old is this guy?
he talks and acts like hes 14 years old...

 

. right.....

from one tech guy to another i know how much time and effort he has put into his combo and i can respect that.

i guess alans SR that runs 10's aint **** since it put out just over 500rwhp

 

he's giving us cali folk a bad name

 

I know how everyone talks about all these rice burners pushing 700hp with turbo's running 40lbs or boost or what the **** ever. Now imagine a LS1 with 40lbs of boost, it'd be making like 3 times the horsepower and like 100 times the amount of torque. There is no replacement for displacement.

 

Respect returned...

 

I don't think you understand how much 700hp really is. I'm surprised your mommy would even let you drive a V6 Firebird, grow up kid.

 

He said he put 80 or whatever hrs into a trauma center or something...
Maybe he woke up a bit early and slipped out the door when the doc wasn't looking...

The gas, if exposed to for long periods of time can really affect ones thought processing abilities...
We all know what it does to our cars...

 

Us speed freaks in CA are at an advantage as we have more stringeant smog laws which equates to higher boost which should give you a slight handicap.

 

What you've got to realize is it isn't about some 'head/cam', 'solid roller' or 'forced induction' title. For probably the 5th or so time now, it's about your COMBO. You can toss on a $6k turbo kit and make 500rw on a factory motor easy, or you can put some very hard, and detailed ours of trial error into an N/A setup and get the same results W/O puting that stress on the sb. That my young freind is what builds experience and also very much respect. It takes a LOT to build a 500+hp 100% N/A and 100% streetable, pump gas 346. Anyone and their mother can have some shop drop in supercharger or turbo. Cool, yes. Powerful, yes. but it's nothing to brag about...sorry...

 

Same goes to you nothing to brag about. I will just call you an old piece of **** if you keep calling me young. On top of it all it is not possible to build a very streeetable 346 that puts down 500whp. I don't know what kind of fairy land you are from where the 500whp 346 f bodies are streetable? End of discussion!
P:S If your talkin 500 fwhp then its a different story as that best describes my well designed smog legal package.

 

52172 you just told Noseupchromedown not to talk **** until his setup if done. now you are talking about going FI and making 700hp. now obviously that would be very fast, but look at these..

788hp street prelude

705hp street integra

712hp hatch (mustang dyno btw)

Again, may not be your cup of tea but thier power to weight ratio would be better than your hypothetical setup. and think about this.. that guy on the list who ran 9.54@153 in his street CRX. it only made 575whp. on a smaller turbo than what those 3 guys are pushing. and they expect that prelude to beat that Crx's record next year, for fastest street honda.

Do you plan on going faster than that? just wanna know, not starting ****.

 

hey hick, you do know that the psi number really doesnt matter right? i wouldnt think so if your calling all honda owners riceboys. tell you what, get a fast car then you can talk ****. until then your just a redneck.

 

I've never seen one of those...are these actual numbers, or are they numbers the ricer drivers told you they're making? I highly highly doubt they're making that much from a direct from the Honda showroom engine...maybe an aftermarket built engine, but then that's not a Honda anymore.
