Looking for NameWasTaken
 
Seein if someone can contact him and see if hed be interested in running a boosted T/A this weekend. Its a stock headed, stock cam, small turbo, automatic T/A. Let me know if hes interested in running for a few dollars.

Matts94Z28 03-23-2010 12:02 PM

doubtful

1998ta__1991rs 03-23-2010 12:14 PM

its worth a shot, if you think about it he has the advantage, bigger motor, more boost, etc...

Not to mention the hours spent at Show Zone vs. an untuned 346 ci ls motor.

bwelch 03-23-2010 12:23 PM

He cant race for money he only has all season tires and Zac has summer tires.:hysterical:
I thought that was Greg BFF so he should have his number.

slowgreen99 03-23-2010 12:28 PM

he has money somewhere. He just put rims on the g8. And they actually looked pretty good from what I saw. Still doesnt make the car fast.

jmd 03-23-2010 02:22 PM

will never happen.

KRYPTONITE 03-23-2010 02:24 PM

slowgreen99 03-24-2010 01:01 PM

ttt

bwelch 03-24-2010 01:05 PM

Thanks, I have had only 1 person say something down about them out of the 30+ complements I have been given (said the red ring was ugly/stupid) oh well cant please them all :0

And I agree, does not make the car fast(er). But it has helped with some traction issues. And rides smoother for the most part, aside from pot holes.

And do I know of or seen this t/a before? What kinda race are we talking about? For money, prolly not. Just don't like the fact that everyone lies to hustle and get money instead of just running what you have and seeing who wins and being truthfull. I know it sounds like a silly concept but its just me.

Yes, its Zacs car. And what I told you is what it is. TH400, full weight T/A with the exception of the hood, 6 Point bars, stock ci 346 LS1, small turbo, stock cam, stock heads. Its in a nutshell an automatic Trans Am with a small turbo and a 6 point. O, and backwards headers.

bwelch 03-24-2010 01:09 PM

its a 346ci motor with a t70 turbo

namewastaken_0_0 03-24-2010 01:11 PM

bwelch 03-24-2010 01:11 PM

matte grey, with red ring, they are color matched to the car

Breyton CS Racing wheels, 20x8.5
with 245/35/20 fronts, and 275/30/20 rears


Needs a drop stat, might do Eibach pro, or maybe coilovers in the late summer.....

t/a's are around 3700ish lbs, maybe wee bit less? You're prolly a way better driver than I as well.

I will still race, but prolly not for much more than a icedream cone from chicy chic.

bwelch 03-24-2010 01:20 PM

looks good. any rubbing?

Nah, from what I hear, if I went 20x10 staggered in the rear with a 275 tire, then I may have to roll fenders, stock ride height is pretty high. When I hit the suspension, it may have to be worked on.

Matts94Z28 03-24-2010 01:35 PM

Looks good.

ty once again

Now I am unsure what to do for the summer, only thing cosmetic I want to do is smoke the rear and side markers.

After that, cannot decide. Rebuild tranny....pulley swap to 12lbs, foraged internals, meth, spray, cam swap ect......

Going to pick one in the next month and run with it.

They look good, but I don't see anything hooking up on 20" wheels with 275/30 tires.

jmd 03-24-2010 08:53 PM

tires look good.

1998ta__1991rs 03-24-2010 10:22 PM

with all the turbo stuff on the car and me in it its over 4000lbs, its not light by any means, ask james, he helped me put it on the trailer

I mean, eaither way I am going to get owned. You've owned your t/a a lot longer than I have my g8 iirc.

Also, yours is faster than mine by leaps and bounds I am sure of that as well. I don't race for money due to the fact I know my car is not as fast as most of yalls purpose built cars. I have respect for your car and when I GG'ed I will have more respect for it I am sure.

T70 is upwords of 700-800hp max out range? With a nice engine build, I am sure you're at/around mid/high 500 hp/tq.

So a free race, or I can buy you a drink at Sonic or something.

Up to you :D:bigthumb:

I actually hook better with them, I am guessing the 275 vs the 245 stock helps the most. I am tempted to show up at Dorchester this Sun, but afraid it will be packed and not worth it to run.

Hoping for mid 7's.....

The cat scales will not work for his car only lightnings and larger vehicles are accurately weighed on them. :hide:
