Looks like I am going to race my friends Mitsubishi Diamante. Its a 2000, and is in pretty great condition.

The Diamante is bone stock. Not touched by the likes of even a cold air intake.

My camaro is a 1986 Z28 w/ 350 swap, Mild cam, Performer intake, and the obligatory Flowmasters
AC Deleted.

Who do you think would win from a dig? 40 mph roll-on?

If you guys want, we have an XL1 MiniDV Camera we can capture the action with

Probably this weekend or the next..

thanks in advance:lala:

i found this not sure if it is the same thing or not but just saying with what you have done i wouldnt think you would have a problem from a stop and probally not a problem from the 40 roll so i dont think you have nothing to worry about

yeah, your 350 as mild as it is, should put out some decent times, 14's most likely so no problem from any speed. LOL

Why don't you just race him? I don't understand this whole trend of asking if some people you don't know think you'll win or not. Does it even matter what they said? If everyone in this whole thread said that you would lose, you wouldn't believe them and would still race him right?

Don't think I'm being a jerk or anything, I've just never asked a question like this before, and I've been on boards like this ever since I could drive.

stu

I forgot to add that I would be seriously surprised if you lose this race.

Yea, I'm racing him regardless of the outcome of this thread, just havent had time to set it up (We live 50 miles apart). I just figured i'd test the waters.

Ciao.

dont mind stewart, he always acts this way I think you can take him though, cant wait to her the results

Results:

Undefined.

Although we raced from stops and roll-ons a few times, we never got a good run. We drove around for a while trying to find a out-of-the-way place to run but just couldnt. People drive EVERYWHERE.

Hah.

Cutting to the chase though, I'm sure he has the faster car, top end if anything. Made me feel like a 305 on roll-ons past 60. Weak sauce.

stu

Really? I didn't think he had a chance.

patRIOTik

I'm dead serious. I was really stoked about going from a stop, but damn! that thing knows how to get off the line. From a roll on it was a silly joke. Im thinking that i need to do some serious tuning.

I am thinking the same thing. Even if your build was plagued with smogger heads, you still should have beat a 17 second car.

patRIOTik

This is a little OT, but what should I check on my car? How can I see if I have emission-built heads?

I need to see the block marking telling me its a 5.7L, b/c this is crap

edit -

If it werent impossible to find the f*****g casting numbers. I went out there and its spaghetti all over that area.

www.mortec.com will tell you everything you have. Casting numbers are on the block and head numbers are under the valve covers.

patRIOTik

I was looking at Mortec, so my casting numbers are behind the valve covers on the drivers side on the block?

Maybe i misread.

There are a few casting numbers. Behind the driver side valve cover on the top of the motor. The head casting numbers can only be seen if you pull a valve cover. They will be cast right in the head.

patRIOTik

Im trying to improvise some way to get to those numbers. This is getting pretty off topic tho. think ill try a
