i traded the 93 camaro for a 98 trans am

 

Yes. They pretty much eliminate wheel hop and will help the car leave straight.

 

wow good trade so u got a ls1 now ....thanks for he info blue z

 

All this damn bustin knuckles to find out there is less than half a quart of tranny fluid in the trans and the converter is bone dry . I guess i dont have to buy a pump now and atleast the pan will be easier to pull with the trans out.

 

what was cut? the trans dip stick?

 

dip stick tube

 

^^^sounds like you got your hands full over there. say what do you think it will run in the 1/4 with a 5.3?

 

If i was to guess off top with a good hook maybe 13.50 give or take but idk. I havent ever gotten to drive a LS car to its potential just a little here and there. When i get it done and rolling im taking to get tuned (dont have to) but i want to get whatever out of it there is lol. If it blows then i start looking for a 6L block.

 

what mods are done to it? stock auto cars dead hook off the line and i have seen them run about 13.7 at 103<<<---thats with an LS1 though.

 

Cat back, drop in k&n, and i might have a shift kit put in the tranny while i have it out. Not sure what gear is in the car but can find out. I have done some reading and have seen in a few places where it says that i should be able to take a showroom LS1 car with a 5.3 tuned. Who knows or cares? Ill be adding mods soon but im not putting money in this motor till it gets mounted on another contraption.

 

I figured you might come looking to settle the score from the last time we met on I20...

 

I have seen some run faster than 13.7. Outonyou has a stock 02 camaro with drop in filter and i would bet money his car will turn a 12.8 on good tires. Might be a factory freak but whos to say this 5.3 isnt lol.

 

thats true on the factory freaks but i can garuantee mine wasn't one. before i got it the guy posted on here he ran a 13.4 or so with a catback. althought Josh R claims he saw it go 12.8 on street tires with that set-up**coughbullshit***. i put in a stall and true duals and could only muster a 12.9 fighting the hell out of traction. i believe when hiltons car was stock it ran a 13.3 or so, but that was a 6 speed. they do pretty good as long as they aren't tearing up drivetrain parts.....

 

 

just for Josh R.....dug this up from your friend, the previous owner.

I have a '01 SS with the 3.23s, slp lid, long tubes, or-y, hooker catback, a tune, and on Falken Ziex 275/45-17s I ran a best of 13.34@105mph with a 2.0 60'. Six out of eight passes I ran 13.5@106, one run I put it to the floor on takeoff just to see what would happen and I spun thru 2nd, got out of it and then rolled back into it and got a 14.1. My other runs I stalled to 1500rpm and rolled the throttle to the floor around 30-40mph so they wouldn't break loose too bad. Hope that helps, but a stall will do you no good without traction, traction will do you no good without a 12-bolt.

how about this one from the little ignorant ******:

I do burnouts cuz.... Well it's just damn hillarious. Any old people around instantly get very pissed at you and start yelling or call the police. It's funny how old bastards get so mad at that ****, like it's really actually hurting anything. There's black streaks all over the streets around here because of me. There's this road on the back side of the lake where no-one's around at night, me and my friends go out there and leave rubber all up and down that bitch.

and yet another:

Well, I put the gas pedal to the floor and turn the key. It hits the limiter immediately, then I throw it in reverse and spin tires back down the driveway and while still rolling backwards with my foot to the floor I slam it in drive, it kinda makes a loud clanking sound but it goes away after I spin tires back up the driveway and into the street. By then I'm almost up to operating temp so I just keep it floored until I get to work, then I yank up the e-brake to slide into my spot sideways.

now check this BS out:

Oh and do all the free mods if you have time/know how to do them. I cutout the bottom of my airbox, bypassed TB, descreened and ported MAF, and I swear it spins tires easier and for longer.

truth is, the airbox wasn't cut when i got the car, TB bypass line was rubbing on the water pump pulley about to bust open and cause a bad coolant leak, and the MAF was descreened but instead of porting it, he just hacksawed the divider in the aluminum.

 

Jeeeeesus dude... that car musta hated him. Ur lucky it's as sound as it is.

 

I got off early unexpectedly today and put the car back together after the removal of the isolators and hilton welding in my relo brackets. I put them on the lowest hole to start. I must say I am pretty impressed. I put it in 2nd and stood in it and it didnt even break em loose till about the time I shifted at about 6k. Pretty good with the 4.30's and street tires, and it wasnt even warm out. I could feel it get squirrelly just as I pushed the clutch. I didnt even try it in first, just a little ride around the backwoods. Used to it would break loosed anytime I just punched it in 2nd. Thanks a ton Hilton! I am now in your debt.

 

yeah until the welds break............

 

LOL hey now, be nice
