going fast help
I like Mopodge's reply. It comes from the 'real' world. As a relative new guy (5 years) i thought i'd chip in about making cheap power.
360=30 (rebuilt stock bottom end)
cheap Hypo pistons
XE262 cam ( .462/.474 lift)
Rebuilt smog heads with mild pocket porting, valve job and spot on rocker alignment.
Dual plane intake and Holley 600 (untuned!)
340 cast manifolds
FBO ignition (34 deg @3,000rpm)
TTI 2.5 exhaust system (full)
stock convertor
open 3.23
26" tyres.
i recently raced it for the first time ever and ran consistant 14.3-14.5s again and again.
my point is that this is a cheap car to build, takes me shopping , to the beach and to work without complaint. You dont have to spend a fortune to have fun! I've just found a cheap 2800 stal convertor and who knows, maybe (just maybe!) 13s might be possible without breaking the bank8)
Oh and I recently nailed a mega buck Shelby 350 GT at a local track day without tring to hard
