Hey guys. I've been on a long hiatus. Recently divorced. Noooow I am back in to the car. I am looking at switching to E85.
With a 2.76 upper, 4# lower on a Steg Stage 5 with crower stage 3 cams and exhaust would 600rwhp be feasible with E85???
Just food for thought for now...
Where in the hell can I find these PITA's?
Nobody carries them...not Ford, not O'Reilly, not NAPA.....
I need two. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
OK. I just painted my front calipers.
I disconnected the lines and removed the calipers so I could paint them.
All the fluid was drained from the calipers
Now I go to put them back on, the passenger side leaks fluid. I replaced both bleeder valves, but the leak appears to be...
Well, I was driving home from getting a new sink...
And I saw a sweet 05+ Black Saleen with red striping....
(I say red flag because I looked it up and it looked like it...)
I was in a turn or go straight lane, he was in the middle lane 1 car ahead of me....and the car in front of me turned...
Ok...I want 3500 lbs as cheap as possible....
Here is what I have....
No spare/jack....O/R x pipe, no rear seat, 17X9 front and 17X10.5 rear FR500's....
What else do I need to do to get to 3500 aside from ditching the stock seats (already tried that, but hated it) and aside from getting...
MAN.....I screwed the title up.....supposed to say 997 TURBO.
There is this cocky d-bag around with a beautiful white one. Drives it like it's the fastest thing around. I saw it take off....pretty quick...sounds stock, but that doesn't mean squat.
Now make it 3 TIMES he has come up next to...
Ok...I am not going to do the gear through gear bit....because it doesn't matter....
Anyway a couple weeks ago I ran into a black 07 C6ZO6...
He had an intake, exhaust, and tune....he said it made "around 500" so whatever...
Anyway we ran from a 30 roll twice. same outcome both...
Ok...just hypothetical, but I am curious now...
My neighbor down the street has a LS1 SS speed with a cam (not sure what kind, but it lopes hard) and LS6 heads. Not sure what other bolt on's, but I am sure it has full bolt ons with headers and 4.10's.
It's his wife's car, but she jokingly...
Ok....
This is hypothetical....maybe...
I am wanting to possibly sell my 03 Cobra.
It's paid for...I DON'T WANT TO SPEND much more $$
I am thinking about buying a blue 04 ZO6 with minor bolt ons...(making 401 rwhp)
OR
a 92 notch (with TFS TW heads, Comp 2432 cam, TFS Track Heat...
Hey guys. Got a quick question on behalf of my dad. He has a 98 Cobra - no mods outside of long tube headers and off road exhaust (no cats). It is running rough, rich, and has a slight backfire at idle. The backfire is random and not constant.
We ran the codes and nothing showed up...
I am just curious....
One of my good buddies has a 02 GTS Viper with the KB Roe kit pushing 5 psi, and full exhaust.
He says he is making about 500-520 rwhp.
I rode in it and it didn't feel as violent or fast as my car....We only went 0-80ish....but I imagine it starts to shine above 100...
Ok...I have a steg stage 4, 2.8 upper, 2# lower, exhaust, cai, tune, blah blah....
Would 4.10's benefit me? Or hurt?
I will be adding a 75-150 shot in the future too...
Basically I want to out run ZO6's and Viper's on the street without the juice.
Is this possible? I am in a debate with a guy, and have seen 580 with an upper and boltons....ports don't count.
So is it possible? With upper and lower with full bolt-ons (no NOS, no meth)
and any proof?
Thanks guys.
Ok. Yesterday I raced an IS-F I downshifted to 2nd at about 50 and coasted down to catch him so we could run....no problems. Then I went to get dinner, then home. Car ran fine.
Then all of a sudden at a stop light, under grandma shifting and acceleration (maybe shifted at 2500) it...
Just wondering....On my race tune I ran 126.3mph. Et was bad because I was on a rural street....but the mph sounds VERY high.
the reading was .00
I have a Steg stage 4, 2.8 upper, 2# lower, exhaust, cai, blah blah.....making around 515-520 rwhp. I was thinking more around 122-123 mph because...
Aww poor rich boy....
Ouch
So, I was leaving work...
(Keep in mind I just filled up with 91 Shell gas, so I am on my 470hp tune. And I haven't put my new lower pulley on yet...)
So, as I was saying, I am leaving work and this young kid pulls up with his friend in a newer Caddy XLR-V...
I think I put this in the wrong forum at first...so here we go again...
Ok what should I do....I have been saving for Turbos, but am really thinking about not going so extreme due to the fact that I really don't race anymore and may go to the track once a year...
So right now I have this...

So right now I have this option...
I HAD a 2# lower with my 2.8 steg IV ported upper....I had the...
Ok...I think I have a pulley going out on the belt system which runs my water pump....
got me thinkin...
Since this is a chore to change, I thought about going ahead and getting the Meziere water pump. Any thoughts?
Is it worth the 15 hp and 2 mpg?
Short story....not too much action, but I am ??
He had 4.10's and exhaust. 6 speed.
I was running on my 480 rwhp tune.
Here is the race. Only from 25-100. He took off early and jumped about a half a car. I ended up pulling about 3.5-4 on him in a time that seemed like nothing.
Here is...
Here is the short...
72K on the car. been to the track once.
steg stage 4, upper 2.8, 2# lower (well until recently)
Now I am running the 2.8 on my 93 tune which makes about 480-490 rwhp.
At WOT, the car starts to have blowby at hight RPM. Is this notmal?
No noticable oil...
I raped a Hennessey 800TT, GSXR 1000, and John Force....in my 98.
Good races. Even though I have a 4v, I only put one cam in. I still pulled.
They never had a chance. Altitude was on my side as well as them never turning the key.
Mods:
bigger injectors
Tornado
some exhaust...
Short and sweet....I made a solid/consistent 505-510 - 519 max...RWHP. He made 430 on 23#....he was running 28 when we ran....I had a passenger, he didn't....from 30-35 roll.
(blew my clutch out when I went into 3rd. Stock clutch at 63K mi)....so back to the story...On the 3rd honk I got the...
