thanks guys 
did you guys see that motor to motor pull? i would have been 100.00 richer:lmao:
I'm just glad i shut this fool up.:gun_bandana: after words we ended up talking a bit more. he sounded like a chill dude so i invited him out to our meets. lets see if he shows up.
a coworker who weighs 200lbs
lol! did you guys see at the end what happend? i was going for a shift and my trunks speaker cover flew off and smaked me on the face...lol! it landed on the dash.scared the **** out of me
word man, i usually shift really good, i was just nervouse since i had all that drama going on for a whole day. i was scared of hitting my rev limiter and ******* up. i could afford to do so. i granny shifted the first 3 runs. the last 3 i was on the ball. that's why i pulled him a bit.
A4 with a shift kit or something.
yeah i know. guess there's no way to tell from the outside.he refuse to let me video tape his engine bay.

Yea, hes probably still running a 700r4 and he tossed a Kragen shift kit in it, I wonder if its even stalled. If he were running a T56 and could shift it would probably make a huge difference.
I had two IROCs, one 5.0 and one 5.7, both 700r4s, those transmissions are terrible.

that's what happens when you skim through a thread.

Good run, thanks for the vid. That's one way to humble him down a bit!! Looks like he's making 280 rwhp on motor and 380 rwhp on the juice?
It's hard to compare a TPI to an LT1 and even an LS1, most TPI engines are restricted by their diesel like power bands, TONS of torque down low but they stop making power at about 4,900 RPM.

Good runs. Sounds like you have a supercharger? Or is that just your gears wining. Lol. I dont think that 3rd gen had a 383. No way, unless it is a pos 383. A 120 shot and h/c/e on a stock 305 would be about right for that race.
That wouldn't have even been a race if he was blown... He just has bolt ons..

^^That is correct. I can believe that could be a 383 if it was TBI (toilet bowl injection) TBI is pretty much a fuel injected 2 barrel carburetor. It cant flow enough air so all it would be doing is choking out the engine. Even TPI chokes out a 383. Most of the high horsepower 383 TPI engines have a miniram, or stealth ram manifold because they are capable of flowing enough, plus those manifolds don't die out at about 5k. But who knows what he really had. If you ever see him again, have him pop open the hood. I think that was a fast car for an RS.

thanks guys. he did pop the hood.
his tb didnt look like ours reminded me of the fast tb that goes with the elderbrock mani.then he had the round filter on top. so i guess he was carburated.dk **** about older models.
