I am only running a 287 CID so I don't need big valves or runners.
[/quote']Great price, I got my last set for $240 shipped. Bingo on the cubes, for the larger 350-383-396-422-434 stuff, I'd get something else
-
I have two different ones also, but the replacement which is different works fine still.
-
Folks need to get over this "sports cars do not make good drag cars" way of thinking.
Your doing quite well, but you dont have a stock 30 year old rear end either. Most people have big problems launching these cars, period. There are some 12 second guys with modest horsepower, and others with 400+ HP running 14 and 15 second times.
Of course setup is going to be a big player, but a stock setup is not the one to go with when making power IMO at the strip.
-
Those 400s were heavy, and LONG strokes. I believe the later Pontiac got up to a 4.25" stroke.
Expensive to work on in comparison to a Chevy, but they have potential.
Its still GM no matter how you slice it, not Ford.
-
Its possible but there are many better heads out there than LT1, so most people avoid such a scenario.
-
I think the compression goes to something like 14.5:1, in other words, you need other pistons.
-
Chris Chow, and I believe its a big block IIRC. I dont know if his email address is up there, if not I can email him and ask.
-
The fox bodies are way under 3500 pounds, they are not too hard to get under 3000.
-
Probably doable, nothing wrong with bracing, its cheap insurance.
-
That car launches indeed, but alot of people seem to have problems launching a lightweight car. IMO the Datsun is a sports car.
-
BOP = GM, Buick, Olds Pontiac all GM.
-
-
My Camaro has that also, so far as I know that is there to let heat out.
-
Making a change to the injector constant effects the whole RPM band however, as opposed to a VE table at a specific RPM, etc
-
I read most of that, DAMN. That makes me sick.
I know a guy with an L98 Vette (1991) with a 6 speed, and he has an M3 now and says its a pretty different car, and for the most part "better."
Regardless, arguing is stupid, a guy lost his money - thats the story. They are two different cars with two different price points.

What's a "PCM simulator"?
Some Aftermarket tuners use these, its imply a hardware and software simulator of the real deal. Developers use these all the time, or sometimes the actual hardware hacked up and interfaced with a PC (Playstation developers, etc).
This is what allows the real time changes, since the actual PCM cannot do this, it has to be flashed from front to back which takes 3 minutes. The $EE PCM has two flash chips, the T and M chip, thats the only PCM I know because I have a 94 Z28. 93 and previous was a removable PROM, similar to most older cars.

damn Mudge....where you been dude!
LoL... I am waiting for my MegaSquirt stuff, I have the electronics but am waiting for the Bowling/Grippo stuff to arrive. Its just flat depressing without it running, I dont know what "went wrong" with the stock setup. After I got another coil bracket from a member, I had spark! But no fire, I am only guessing not enough fuel pressure because there was a leak with one of my connections thanks to an incorrect thread.
So I gave up, ordered the MS and hopefully it will run, someday
if not I'm going to get a freaking V8. -
Where is Moby? There is only one person on the board that I know for sure has a MS, and I'm sure he'll drop in.
-
Adding less than 20 cubes is hardly going to make an engine compete with a turbo setup.
-
You need a PCM simulator for this to work.

Yea Its a weird topic.. stupid I suppose, but I was bench racing with a die hard domestic fan (who respects Z's at least a bit) We were just wasting some time, and he mentioned if I wanted a real performance car, I should just get a Viper and be done with it.. yea a z can be made to run, but for serious $$$... well long story short..
Kind of interesting then that it came in dead last behind the Cobra R and Z06, unpredictable handling was the word of the day.
I would agree with what John said though, all kinds of different tracks for different cars to shine on. One thing I look at is tire width to weight ratio.
-
I used needle nose pliers.

Nice car. Modded vehicles dont sell for a dime where I live though.

LT1 fuel injection syst on your old Chevy Small Block...

Rich, talk to a headporter, they will hopefully know what to do. I can try and find out details if you want, SBC heads can be put onto a late model LT1 and LT1 heads can be put on an SBC.
