Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

That is brash to say the least (nothing wrong with confidence however) you might want to check the site for other members in C Fl that are running big blocks and/or turbo/superchargers before going too far into the "I tripple dog dare you" phase. Good luck defending the onslought, hope you do as good as you think you will.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

You're faster than my thirdgen, but I would put my 2000 up against you any day of the week. I'll be at BMP on the 14th for a private track rental. After that, I can make to OSW whenever.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

your 4th gen would be a great run. I will let you know when my spray is working properly as I am getting my motor runs down right now. I will be at OSW this friday if anyone wants to show

I honestly think I have potentially one of the faster street driven thirdgens around CF. just because it isnt a bbc or s/c or some turbo doesnt mean jack. very strong running motor and lots of spray with how my car is setup is a good setup.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

I'm getting set for BMP next weekend currently, but after that I can go up to OSW for a few runs before Randy yells at me and gives me the boot.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

Um, is the spot for fastest TBI 305 still open? lmao (just kidding)

I wouldn't mind coming up there to hang around and maybe make a pass or two on a run-what-you-brung test day to see what numbers I could actually get. but thats out of the question for me right now.

I'll be there the 11th, can't swing the 21st with work. I should be there the 23rd with the 91' if everything works out. I expect it to go 13.30's... maybe a little quicker. Can't ask for too much out of a stock L98 with a stall and bolt ons.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

I have a issue with the engine stumbling while cruising. However, I expect to make it to Orlando Speedway on the 11th and the 21st. For Sunday, they said the gates open at 10:00am.

Re: Anyone is Central florida wanna run?

jeez 10.60's on motor is a tough job with a 383 unless you run a solid roller i'd say. You'll want to turn some rpm, but with a TH350, good gear, good converter and lighter weight and crazy good air conditions you may beable to do it, atleast high 10's. I went 11.47 on motor with a so so 60 foot and hot air with nitrous gearing. Probly 11.30's for sure with proper launch and cooler air with proper on motor gearing. who knows i'll never find out
