RE: went to track today...
lol donut tires. oh man. he probably had 3.55 gears with that open diff. from what i understand you shouldn't burn radials anyway because unlike bias ply they actually form a slick film. too bad i don't live anywhere near, i've never been to a track and i'd like to race you sometime.i'm not going to say i'm faster but i do have 4.10's with a limited slip that hooks up pretty well on thestreet, so i think it would be interesting.

and yea, i'd totally race you. if you can say your wheels actually 'hook'...then you've got me beat. lol.
i do have my jba headers on the way, though. maybe that'll give me liek 300+ horsepower...amirite?

RE: went to track today...
300hp? ..... i'm not thinking so. but i will say headers are always a great addition. looked up your engine and although it has 110 ft-lbf less torque it is only 30 hp shy of my stock engine. what else do you have in it?
tookdown a slightly modifiedlate model cavalier z24 the other day at a stop light, that was fun.

i have that stupid power wire thing...which does nothing except waste gas. put some iridium ix plugs in it. a cold air intake off of ebay. headers coming soon. the 4.56 posi was a huge thing. my speed off the line is great...and when i hit seconds, that's where i have huge acceleration, then 3rd it just ****s out.

ive never had a problem with anyone in this thread, but the trash talking about his truck is childish...my cars are faster than his, but there are people faster than me, and at least hes trying to work with what he has...i bet that those of you making fun of him for his times didnt start out with a screaming fast vehicle, and others of you still dont have one.

how far are you planning to go with the truck? are you looking past headers or is that going to be it?

^^ this is one of my runs w/ the truck i was racing w/ that day. speedometer is still 8.2% off...as far as i know lol. cause of my wheel increase.
75 shot wet kit is something i'm probably gonna do. and some 20" wheels off centerline. also, i got those headers on. it did WONDERS for my low end torque. it's not amazing, but it actually exist now.
