ummm, it's been 20 years since I've seen a low battery electrolyte problem, but your car sounds like a candidate. Check your battery water level.

Cams in a 2V... I guess being a fool for owning a 2V wasn't enough, so he had to go and reinforce it by camming a 2V. What a foolish waste of time and money.

I would love to cam a 2V, especially a PI-headed NPI 2V. Just because. I know that you didn't spend the least amount of money on your car to be as fast as you could. So why dog someone else for modifying a car that they like just because they like it. Like the OP said, the outcome of the race was already known before they lined up.

Maybe he cammed it because he likes the car and it sounds pretty bad *** with cams in it.

Coyote swap would train wreck peoples ego's, especially if you didn't tell anybody and they thought that it was a weak 2V.

Some people save up for years and never get that mod.

Check terminal connectors and make sure the battery isnt moving back and touching anything on hard accel, and check grounds. Definitely electrical.

+1
The only thing a cammed/geared 2v is good for is a beginner mod for LS1s.....

Even though it wouldn't be considered even or fair, I would love to see this race with OPs bird stock.......

Says the guy with a Terminator swapped car you realize you can sell that and probably long block and pay for a turbo'd 5.0 set up....

Of course, he's likely comforted by the obvious question: "Why would he ... ?"

pretty sure i got it. somehow my battery hold down came loose and the battery was just free in there for the most part. when i launched it came back and hit the wheel well. tightened it down and its solid now. i havnt driven it since that day but im pretty positive thats was it.

Makes sense. First thing I thought when you mentioned everything.

Not really into the turbo thing...but I would much rather it be a coyote. I tried to get 92corbranotch to put a coyote in it initially.

For real...why would I???? My notch has a whole 03/04 harness in it and heater box/ac **** and errything works. I'm not sourcing all that stuff or trying to see how/what/if coyote **** will work. If I want more power out of it I'll do my only option and what the rest of the furd crowd does........I'll push more air threw it.

Actually the best option would be to put my ls7 in it.......lol I could h/c it to make over 600hp and the it should weigh 2800~ with it.

Yeah, Mark still has the Bullet, but it's been down for a while. He's been playing with a Big Block coupe.
