Setups...

[Trevor86TA]

To start us out....What is everyone's setup?

I am just finishing a new mill. Season starts at the end of May. :-\

406 sbc
10.6:1 compresion
Speed Pro Powerforged pistons
Eagle 5140 5.7" rods w/ARP capscrews
AFR 195 heads
Comp Custom Solid Roller - 236/242 - 614"/.629, 108 LSA
Crane Gold 1.6 roller rockers
Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake
BG Speed Demon 750 DP
Hooker 1 3/4" SuperComp headers

[five7kid]

'82 Camaro Berlinetta, V6 to '86 LG4/TH700. Engine mods include World Products S/R Torquer 305 heads that I ported, Crane 2050 Compucam, Hooker 2055 headers, 3" exhaust to an 80 series Flowmaster, all emissions-legal in Colorado. Tranny has a restalled to 2300 converter, Transgo shift modifications (Vette servo, .5 valve, etc.). 2.93 posi, 16" Z rims w/GS-C skins. Runs 15.7's here at altitude, tranny has a 2-3 shift at WOT "issue", so it was beyond the shift point in 2nd at about 1200' - with properly shifting tranny, would probably have been better. Translates to about a 14.7 at sea level. In the works is a ZZ3 shortblock that has been bored .030" over, Speedpro hypers w/slight dish (10cc total), ARP rod bolts, ZZ4 cam, to go with the rest of the combo already in the car. This year is the last time it needs an emissions test, so I'll probably get it tested b/4 the 350 goes in, and "forget" to put a few pieces back on.

My "other" car is my first car - 1957 Chevy Bel Air, which I've had since late 1971. Currently has a 396/TH400 from a '66 Impala, I've gone though it with forged TRW pistons (at least it was TRW when I did this in 1997), ported heads with stock 2.06/1.72 valves, General Kenetics 270 cam. The tranny has a TCI shift kit, ACC Boss Hog converter that stalls around 3500 (they call it 2800-3200). 3.73 8.2" 10-bolt & Powertrax, Hoosier 26x9.5x14 Quicktime Pro DOTs. With me in it, weighs about 3850 lbs. Best of 13.77 @ 97.1 at altitude; 12.94 at Topeka (on a run in which I lifted) at around 103 mph.

A lot of people run faster, a lot of people have better rides. All I can say is I'm the 2004 NHRA Div 5 Summit ET Sportsman champ and National runner-up with what I brung. I don't know it all, but I usually know when I'm over my head and I'm willing to learn!

1996 Trans Am WS6

Stock shortblock
Lloyd Elliot heads with 2.00/1.56 valves, Combo motorsports 618 springs
XE 224/230 cam, 1.6 Comp pro mag rollers w/guideplates
LT4 ED timing chain
FLP longtubes, custom Y, cutout before axle
BBK 58mm TB
Tuning by me with LT1 edit
3.73 gears, Nittos

Formerly Automatic with 2800 vig converter, now M6 with McLeod street twin clutch.

On the auto, with the old 3.23s and ET streets I ripped off a 12.26 @ 110mph (7.90 @ 90) and 1.73 60ft.

After the 3.73s the 2-3 shift started failing...never ran faster than 12.5s and I thought for sure it would run 11s.

Anyway, with the M6 I ran a best of 8.8 @ 83 in the 1/8th, 2.20 60ft, and mortally wounded the 10 bolt. Strange 12 bolt is on the way and I've also got to figure out where some of my HP went to.

[johntom]

well, lets see. i have the beastly 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine which of course is all stock. the stock everything else (except filters) but i have the "HIGH PERFORMANCE" glass pack welded in place of the stock muffler for that sleeper look. Haha, at least i can beat most of the civics around here

Still working the bugs out....Right now I'm building a stout manual trans to hold the power....I've got a progressive nitrous system in the works spraying a 300 shot so I'm a little worried....lol

I'll be happy with 10.50's on spray....But it will see more street use than track use....

[1970judge]

300 shot is a big ass N2O shot lol.

[five7kid]

Just got the new combo running this past weekend. Haven't opened it up yet, but the 1st 100 miles, it feels really strong. It's nice to have a properly-operating tranny again.

Without the cat now, it has a much deeper tone. That's probably more due to the engine/cam than the removal of the cat.

Also got the headers & y-pipe Jet Hot coated while it was apart. That was a nice addition.

Another 400 miles, I'll get to open it up for the first time and see if the tranny will shift 2-3 at WOT.

[ThrashN]

200,000 mile 5.0 that can't hardly get out of it's own way

Are you planning on ditching the TPI and getting headers soon?

[Fenster]

Yeah. Only real reason they are still on is to prove a point. I designed the setup to run w/ a short runner setup and LTs... but then went to the track w/ it w/ the stocker stuff and ran a 13.3 @ 102 and just for fun decided to see just how far this stock TPI unit can go. I got the transmission fixed and the converter in. so taking it to the track a few time w/o the headers to just get a feel for what the headres get me alone.

[Kevin B.]
