Going home I had a yellow 92 Z28 pull to the side of me and rev his engine, so i went ahead and revved my engine too. I had my windows down and i told him he had one sweet ride!!! He had true duals and a loud sounding engine! He had me intimidated just from the sound. The kid gave me that look and when the light turned green we both leave hard!!! I overpowered him off the line hard and had about 3 in a half car lengths the whole race. I let off the gas and the kid gave me a thumbs up. We both pulled into a donut shop and talked about each others cars for quite a while. He had the 5.7 tpi!!! 8th digit was a 8 and he had 3.23's and G92 too! His engine looked and sounded healthy vs mine which was just rebuilt a month ago, 305 bored .030 over, ported and oversized intake valve 187 heads, comp cam, and comp valve train, headers and hooker catback. I handed him his ***!!!

His car must have been running poorly.

Nope!!! His car was running perfect buddy! I took a page from Robert Franks combo, a lot of EBL tuning and 31 chip burns to get my combo to run right! Its far from running perfect but its a contender now. My combo consist of heavily ported and blended intake ports, ported exhaust ports, 1.94 intake valve installed, comp 262 roller cam, 1.6 comp roller rockers, edelbrock performer rpm(notched divider),TBI adapter, msd 6AL ignition, edelbrock headers, 3 inch exhaust, no egr, and hooker competition cat back.

Good to hear two 15 second cars having fun. Keep burning those chips!
just messing with ya.

cool,but how often do you get another thirdgen pull up beside you.

Guest

No. Don't argue it. If you WERE Robert Frank, I might say, "Yeah, maybe your 305 does stand a chance against a stock L98." (I've been giving a lot of kudos to Robert Frank lately, if you read this Rob don't get creeped out you've just been mentioned quite a bit), but you're not. Based on your mods, that '92 Z28 was running like ****. Sorry dude, its just facts.

You are such a DA!! Even a mildly cammed 305 can run 12s in this day and age. I have several different builds that easily prove this. I know of a certain 1980 Corvette with an older build of mine, smoking 150K mile 312 CID short block that is a .040" over 305 and a stalled powerglide from a 1966 elcamino all leftover used parts that would walk all over most "street/strip" 350 builds. The thing is so with leftover parts it has a Q-Jet on top and the stock L82 ramshorn manifolds on it. I know for fact from a 60 mph roll it put about 6 car lengths on my 13.9s Titan before I hit 90 mph covering me in a cloud of heavy oil smoke from the rings. The engine litterally has so much blowby it blows the dipstick partially out of the tube at prolonged WOT yet still flies down the road.

So whats the car run in the 1/4? MPH, don't really care about ET.

my l98 runs like a dream,baller oil pressure(40-60 psi) , starts on first crank, pulls itself up steeeeep hills w/o help. but it has a trans that holds shifts for 2-3 sec after i reach 5000rpm. so i have no doubt a fresh 305 could take an l98 of unk. condition

What's a "DA"? A mildly cammed LO3? With mediocre heads? Those're really his only mods. My 1992 L98 with full exhaust is running 14.3. I don't think the exhaust gave it that much help and I don't see his set up running even a 14.5. I'm just saying that he might not want to get used to beating L98's.

Hahaha sure buddy his car was running pretty darn good! You got some nerve to talk all of this crap dude, and the only thing i reused from my old setup was the 305 block and the rods that were resized and fitted with arp wave lock rod bolts.
I got a new bottom end with flat top speed pro pistons bored .010 over, comp cam and a host of upgrades. You can talk all the crap you want but i will hand your car its ***!!! Just like i did to that 92, and if you doubt me i could careless because this combo works great!!! The L98 heads are junk too!!! I put a lot of blood sweat, and work that i put into these heads with tuning plus the suspension mods. Talk is cheap buddy but its all good cause your opinion and all of the disbelievers opinions don't matter. I will continue on my path and have fun handing L98's there ***!!!

I have not been able to use my g meter due to the rainfall these past days.
After i got my tune dialed in i was running a 14.03 with a lot of wheel spin off the line due to the cold asphalt and a happy launch. I just ordered a set of M/T drag radials from summit and i will run this combo again.

Swirl Port heads are not bad heads at all. A mild cam is still a cam. Open up the intake and exhaust, match the gearing and converter right and setup the chassis right and even a little 305 can fly. Before the 305 that is in the vette acquired vortec heads it had a set of ported and heavily angle milled "810" casting 350 TBI swirl port heads on it and a weiand 7525 single plane intake with a Q-Jet on it. With a TH350 running a 3,000 stall converter and 2.73 rear with G80 it was pulling a 4,200 lbs Chevy C10 truck to 97 mph in the 1/4. The little cam in it would spin to 6,000 rpm very easily even with swirl ports.

We took it to the local 1/8 mile quite a few times and really angered some people when they found out their 4.6 Mustang or 5.7 Tundra got beat by a weeohwhy.

Vaguely. Was he one of the guys that started that competing thirdgen side?

We have our fair share of goons, but I still think we have the best tech on the net for an fbody site.

He was a very early Import guy, I think he ran an Acura with his own turbo setup, and he just knew it all as far as he was concerned. I remember many heated discussions in the threads, this is back when Traxion was still posting on a daily basis...

anesthes

iTrader: (12)

Hrmm. I knew a few guys with DSM's and Honda's but don't really recall any of his posts specifically.

I do recall lots and lots of threads from the special socal folks running bottom 13s on TPI engines thinking they were king of the hill while the import guys were inching into the 10s in 2 liter japs.

You wanna have a real good time, spend a few hours reading the battles on Corvette Forum.

Ahhhh oh well. Seems if you decide not to mod your car you aren't supposed to voice an opinion or advice on anything on this site....

tpivette89

I remember him... youre going way back to around 02/03 when he used to post. From what I remember he had some crapbox Integra with a homemade turbo kit that was pushing high 13s at altitude (I believe he was racing at Bandimere).

From what little I recall, he didnt really add anything to the conversations here... just liked to stir the pot and start **** with other members.

Another troll that sticks out was the kid "Monkie", who claimed he was running 12s in a '99 Cobra, and that he revved at his buddies car and it shattered the hatch glass... then one of the resident Mustang guys uncovered a post on the Corral about him racing at the dragstrip for the first time and running a 13.8 or something. That tidbit of info pretty much ended his stay here on www.thirdgen.org.

Yeah, the good old days...

anesthes

iTrader: (12)

Hrmm. My friend had an 01 cobra and it used to run low 13s. I'm assuming the 99 and 01 both had the dohc 4.6 with the aluminum block.

I put a vortech on the cobra and the following summer he hit a guardrail at 60, going backwards.

He has an early 90s fox body now..

ET's are not a great way to determine how much power a car has though. I've pulled off mid 13 second passes at 120 mph because my tires were on fire the whole way down the track, not because it was a slow 13 second car


-- Joe

tpivette89

Fully aware of what the '01 Cobra is capable of. Had a Ford salesman buddy back in the late 90s/early 2000s that would purchase a new Cobra everytime they added something performance-wise to them. Ran low 13s in his bone stock, new 2001 if I remember correctly.

However, Monkie's car was a '99... you remember that year, right? Had all the issues with the inflated hp figures, and I think even MM&FF got the base '99 GT to run a tad quicker than the Cobra for that year. This kid talked trash all day about how his car could smoke everyone's on this board... only to run a 13.7 at 103mph.

anesthes

iTrader: (12)

The '99 was the recall year, right. I wonder if he didn't bring it in for the recalls? From what I understand, they replaced the intake manifold, cat back, and tune.

does anyone know what the terminator cobras ran stock?


Posted from Thirdgen.org App for Android

tpivette89

Most average drivers run low 13s - high 12s in them stock, however, I dont think you'll find too many stock ones running around anymore.

Evan Smith ran a 12.4 at 113mph in one back when they were new.

About 350 - 360 rwhp. They weigh alot, though, tipping the scales at about 3800lbs.

I would love to race a stock one in my C5. Back when they were new, it was a drivers race between the non-Z06 Corvettes and the 03/04 Cobras
