Sounds like it could be fun, and what else have we have to do during these cold winter days.

 

I'm in! Lets see, I haven't dynoed since adding a FAST intake, tuning, ported tb, losing the PS, AC and X pipe and Th350. It put down 371rwhp and 389rwtq before all that stuff was done and it would only run 11.7x's back then. Maybe I might get lucky and hit 400?

 

we should make this a wager. loser buys rounds.

 

I'm curious as to what kind of power im making now. Do you all think we can get 10 people up for this?

I'm supposed to call the owner back in mid January to see what can be done on setting this up.

Who all is in besides me?

I think we could if we posted up in the Tx section and on LS2

 

good idea. who wants to wager the volvo cant make 200 to the wheels.

 

My wager is 1100 "REARWHEEL HP" on the Volvo.

 

I thought I was shooting high at 942 hp. Might have to bump mine up a couple hundred

 

On it's first and only trip to the track, the Volvo ran a best of 14.4 at 96mph. That was with a speaker box in the trunk and a 200 lb passenger. The giant yellow duck strapped in the car seat was just for intimidation factor.

I'll bet it puts down close to, if not over 200 wheel hp.

I need to get off my *** and start installing parts.

 

What does it weigh? I'd guess 3900? I bet (if that is close on the weight) it would put 235 to the wheels

 

Scott I would be a go, are we talking about going over to ETMC.

 

Yeah! Once they give the ok that the dyno is ready we could set a date and caravan over,something different other than going to a restraunt and hanging out like we have done the past few meetups we have had.

 

It'll probably be a little slower this build. It'll be .1 liter smaller and have slightly lower compression. The upside is that maybe it'll hold together.
I never weighed it.

I pulled the alternator, power steering pump, and some other stuff. Can't find the damned pickle fork needed to separate a ball joint so I can pull the axle.

It's going slow.

 

Let me know if you need a fork, we have one. Haa, I might have to find it but we got one

 

hey hilton i got a brand new set of forks someone gave me for xmas you can use one if you need it. i think they are salad forks but you could use it on a pickle if you want to.

 

 

My wife has a pitch fork.........

 

just thread the nut up to the top and smack it with a BFH. Done.

 

If it were that simple, I'd be done by now. The best part is that I just got home from Harbor Freight, and I forgot to buy one.

I did buy a nice set of impact sockets as a Christmas present for my 12 year old nephew, and a 10 gallon portable air tank that Santa is going to bring me.

 

Merry Christmas to everyone. If your traveling for this holiday, be safe.
