Good tune. 3.43 rear gears.
Mods... Cold air intake, And I advance the timing a couple degree;s (relaly isnt a mod but should help off the line)



Whut do u guys think? I think I might win cause he has probally got ****y rear end gear ratio..
I am racing him tonight at 10:00

P.S. He can not brake torque(brake stand), I can, He cant spin off the line, I do if I launch.

THE GAYEST THING IS IT SAYS "SEE YA" in his back window... roflmao maybe I need to get him familular with Firebird Tail-lights??

I'm inpatient...
TTT

devianb

I'm not sure myself.

1986CamaroSC

his torque will get you off the line, unless he has s.h.i.t.t.y gears like you said, if he has 3.42s like you he will take you, cause he doesnt weigh much more than you...

curt86iroc

yea, im gonan say hes gonna beat you but not by much at all...might come down to a drivers race....

MdFormula350

its seems like it will be close..

BloodRedDragon

I think it won't be close at all. You'll burn him out of the hole by atleast a car length, then keep on walking him. That's my projection.

heavy_chevy29

i think because of the torque difference that he will take you off the line.

mike1986fyrbird

Ok... well he bailed out yestraday we r gonna race tonight hopefully.
I did some Research and came up with..
0-60 12 sec
1/4 18.5

And they have 2:18 gear ratio.

I'm still looking...

A friend of mine had an '86 Old Cutlass. This car was in MINT condition. I swear to you it looked like a brand new car! Thing was it was slow. Those 307's just have no nut. He took it to the track and ran a 17.7 with it.



3rd Gens have a 21 gallon fuel tank!! That's huge! My Mustang has a 12 gallon tank and my Lincoln has an 18 gallon tank

NastyEssCee

He He...Ah the nostalgia...i have owned an 85 Cutlass..but mine was a 442....if he has a 442 watch out he'll get ya...but if its a stock Supreme its gonna be close as hell...he he...mine was far from stock but ya gotta love the torque in that thing....he he low fourteens in mine at least maybe high thirteens...never did take it to the track...before..before..sniff sniff....some drunk guy hit my car while it was parked and sped away..sniff.. sniff..i love the F-ing car...love the look of 94-97 LT1's drivers when they see a Cutlass pull away from them...ah gotta love it...sniff..im gonna go reminisce....later guys

mike1986fyrbird

I raced him.

Pulled up beside him at the lights and launched. I Took 1 car on him off the line.

He tried Again at the next light, Spanked him again.

Then we went to the highway and raced from a roll.

45km/h roll.

It was tied for a while then I gained half a fender on him, then let off going about 150km/h.

HE tried to say he won and I let off cause he was gonna win! LOL!!!
haha.

I even have it on tape and that proves I won.

Ps. I let off because I have bald tires and I dont trust them at that high of speed.

BloodRedDragon

Good kill. He would have eventually beat you at speed after you ran out of gears.

I had an '83 Buick LeSabre with the 307 V-8 and TH350 transmission. Don't know what the gear ratio was, but it's a sure bet it was pretty crappy. The engine was rated 150 hp and 260 lbs.ft. of torque and had the 3317 heads (I think that's the correct number) which the newer ones from '84 and later were different. I test drove an '85 or '86 Cutlass Supreme with the 307, and it felt like a dog compared to mine. Which reminds me, I think the torque rating you listed for it is off. I think they were rated at around 240-245 lbs.ft. for '84 and later.

By the way, I only had two modifications to it (if you can call these mods), a K&N airfilter and secondary butterfly stop filed to get the full 750 cfm out of the Quadrojet (big improvement compared to the 500 something cfm it was restricted to).
