Come on you really believed me when I said it had a bone stock 350, I was being SACASTIC I really dont know what it will run now, I do know that it has all the same stuff my 12 second Camaro had in a car that does not weigh as much, and a automatic trans instead of a 5 speed, and I am thinking of having a custom ground cam built specifically for my set up instead of the cam that I have, see if I can get a few more pony's out of it. I was straight with you on the car being a 14 second car. It had the following parts, 388 stroker built by Bowers racing 350/410 HP/fpt (The parts on the engine) 76 cc heads with 202/160 valves screw in studs guide plates with those heads it had 9.5 to 1 comp ratio, built for NOS, Weiand Stealth intake manifold with a stock camshaft and torque converter, Holley carburetor unknown CFM I was told it was a 750, MSD distributor cap rotor and 8.8 wires, AC Delco Rapid fire # 2 plugs that need to be changed. Flowtech Headers with a 3 inch custom exhaust with one of the coolest custom H-pipe set ups I have seen in a while, Thrush 2 chamber welded mufflers with turndowns right before the rear axle. I used 3 inch with the turn downs cocked to the side for that nice throaty deep vibrating sound, I should have left the turndowns off so you cant hear yourself think inside the car. Turbo 350 transmission with a really nasty shift kit kicks car sidways when it pulls second and chirps third, 3.42 rear end gears that some one had set the pinion wrong so it was binding up with a 3 series posi trac rear differential I did not have time to fix, I figured it would be good for a few runs, I have a 28 spline locker for it just did not have the axles. Already on the car when I purchased it 9 year old Falken 205/60/15 tires that were hard and weather checked. the stuff I added in the 4 days. I purchased the car the way it was other than what I put down, keep in mind I had 4 days to do this. I purchased the car that had the motor built by bowers the guy put 2500 to 3000 miles on it to break it in and then let it sit in his garage for 9 years, I dont think he had the money to finish the car. at least that is what he told me. New parts I installed, replaced 1406 600 CFM carburetor with a brand new holley 750 CFM. Replaced 3 1/2 inch single exhaust just up to the cat nothing after words with the dual 3 inch custom exhaust system, with the thrush welded mufflers. Fixed leaking front and rear main seals on engine and front seal on transmission do to drying up from sitting for so long, I did not want to leak anything on the track, and wanted to make sure I passed tech. Replaced steering box and power steering hoses and pump, they all leaked bad, it had a one tire fryer so I had to throw in a gm 3 series posi traction rear end off of CL, which I dont understand why it was not done to begin with the 3.42 gears were also Richmond so some one had been inside it before. I replaced all 4 shocks cause the front tires were rubbing when the car would go over bumps, replaced the rear with Air shocks. Got a battery tie down excel super coil for HEI distributor and the MSD 8.8 wires. I tried a different set of plugs but it did not run and no one had the # 2 Rapid fire plugs, special order only and I only had 4 days so I put the old plugs back in. I purchased a B&M Ratchet shifter but ran out of time so I used the column shift. Installed oil battery and temp gauges with a 5 inch tachometer with a big amber shift light, lights up the inside of car when it is time to shift. I am sure I am forgetting alot of stuff but that is what I can think of right now, I just got off of work and had a long ride home after running security for a wedding and bike run, chasing a couple of jackasses That were trying to start crap. Now back to the car I only raced cause my brother talked so much crap about how he would win by default if I did not show up, he knew I did not plan on racing this year so he started in on me 5 days before race day. So I went to work, my best time was a 14.8 with a .232 reaction time, worst run was 15.2 with a .659 reaction time. Now the funny thing was my brothers car blew the rear main seal on the way up right after having his brand new 403 olds in his flawless 1978 Trans AM, right after having his brand new motor Dyno tuned by G.A.M which covered my other brothers Flawless 1979 Z28 in oil that was driving behind him. I was smart I Trailered my car out with half a tank of gas and 2 5 gallon jugs with the rest,they both left on a flat bed but mine came in on one. so not only did I win by default LOL, he tried to race me in his girlfriends 95 Z28, He ran a 15.8 with a 15.6 best time. He told me I messed up his staging do to coming out of the burn out box a little hot I had to back up a little. But he had no excuse when I asked why my worst time was better than his best time, and would not race me again. My Brothers Z28 ran a 15.5, and my buddy's truck ran a 17.4 I think against my other friends 88 K5 blazer that ran a 19.6, so at least with all the people I went up with I left with the fastest time. My brothers Z28 who ran the 15.5 ran on the dyno with 300/325 HP/Foot poundsOriginally Posted by Twinscrewed05gt
