No one wants to race
Well really I'm new to the area and it seems that it's still to cold for some of the people in the northcountry to bring out their cars with few exceptions like some rice burners.But still no one wants to race . Why?

I know that's ,but still must go on. Hey, Does anyone live in Syracus,NY or near Ft. Drum,NY . The reason why I'm asking is because it's pretty darn boring up here in the north country and I would like to meet up with some new friends that have the same interist as I do!!! Please help.

a minirammed ZZ4...could need some more work to get to 12s all day. Most worked TPI ZZ4's I see are mid to low 13's. A minirammed one without other mods would be a low 13. I dont know about the 12's. What else you got under there you arent telling us about

You guys are right I do have more than just a mini and a zz4. But for you none believers here is the list:
zz4 crate motor
ported mini ram II to a 1206 intake gasket
58mm TB
Twisted Wedge G1 stage 2 port job done by Total Engine Airflow in Bowling Green,KY flow #'s at .600 lift int. 309cfm exh. 238cfm mid lift on intake at .400 278cfm (and if anybody knows about mid lift that's where it counts)
CUSTOM GRIND CAM BY COMP CAMS,but similar to the zz409 cam made by TPIS 224,224 and 528,528 lift
Trickflow 1.5 rockers narrow
24lb injectors SVO's
255lph walboro in tank pump
custom chip by ED Wright
MSD 6AL
300+ACCELL
fuel pressure, tranny temp ,and air/fuel ratio guages all on a triple pod
tranny cooler
built tranny by Bow-Tie Overdrive in Cali
ATI 3600 Street master stall converter
B&M Mega shifter
1LE aluminum driveshaft
Borg Warner 9bolt rearend with 3.70 gears
Intrax 2in drop performance springs
KYB G2 shocks
ET streets
rolling on a set of ZR1 wheels of a 98 SS got lucky
All that produced 12.54 @ 108 with a 1.72 60ft, but that's OK if you don't believe me.
Anyway bow to me . Just kidding. :hail: :hail: :hail:

Well Well. I didn't say I had the fastest car in the world ,but I sure do wish you where closer too so we could line up. I've had the car for 7 yrs. and I've spent about $8000 in that time.

You got any suspension mods done to that zz? That's a pretty good 60' time. You kinda threw the guys when you said it was a ZZ motor, but obviously it has morphed into something much better Badass ride man!

I know how you guys feel. People wont race my little L03 just cause it sounds bad. Its only a low 16 second car.
Jaysz28: nice car, i love the stance of it. Is it lowered? Doesnt look like high grass. Low profile tires? I have been thinking about lowering mine.

shrp1 your right I know we're not the fastest on this board, but I bet we're in the fast group though.
Jayz28 I have to agree your car does look pretty sweet with those vette wheels. And I also dropped you a line yesterday , but now I Know why you didn't respond because you where out of town. I have to pick my fam up this week so drop a email zz17iroc@hotmail.com.
To answer the last ? I used Intrax 2" performance drop springs and KYB G2 shocks at all four corners.

Sorry dude, I don't have any pics downloaded. But hopefully with someones help I will soon.
Your car looks sweet . And I know all about those Turbo cars, they're pretty fast too!! But for real your Turbo T looks nice though. With your new mods don't be suprised to see low 12's maybe even high 11's. Well good luck I'll get those pics of my car out ASAP.:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Too bad you dont live in chicago,
You are right on the bubble for where the slower cars are running on the streets. I am scared to line up with the '98 because its just too slow (for now )...then there are the ricers.
Nice combo youve got there!
It would be nice to have some faster thirdgens (other than TTA's) around here. Sounds like a killer car!

Well the new combo according to Precision Turbo is capable of running high 10's. I plan to run mid 11's on REAL radials.
Heres a pic of 1 of the mods.....

Now that's horsepower . Well I hope everything works out. I'm doing 12.54's @108.7 now and I still have to fine tune the car. I realy don't know what I'm going to do to the car this coming winter, but I'll do something. I meet up with Traxion 2 weeks ago and he's going to help me tune my hot rod. Got to go halla at you later.
