Yep, 11 runs and each one was a little tweak on fuel and spark

Slicks would slow me down further and Valve springs have been done and should be good for 7500rpm all day :) The tires do smoke a little especially when I hit 3rd gear in the burnout ;) These things, I was told by the guys I have bought my tires for the past 10 or more years, would smoke but give go...

Well I have started on the right track to build a Street Happy Fun V8, it was running 14.3-14.4@98-97mph all day long without slicks and with no changes to how it's driven on the street. The next mod will be the interesting one as it will be the intake manifold. 165kW at the wheels is ok for a stock...

I had a chance to get my VR SS Auto on the dyno today and was impressed with the flat line for HP but still want more breathing.

Remembering this is my daily driver and will be the tow car for my 202 powered chevette. The good thing is that as it is my tow car lowering the gearing is probably not that bad. I actually turned up the fuel to it compared to the day before to try and boost the power as the day before I could only ...

I bought the car as is, so assumed it was stock, whys that?

4.1 eh, that was my initial thought everyone else was saying 3.9

So the plan is to upgrade the following: Intake Manifold with a 4-barrel after market one and keep it Injected. Use a 80mm Throttle Body Up the compression if possible to 10:1 from the current 9.3:1 by planing the heads, this would have to combine with the Intake as it may need to be port matched. C...
