Very nice, yeah you really dont need a 383 for 500HP crank. Get some nice AFR heads and a 230/240ish cam and you should be fine. Add in headers and exhaust and you looken at around 500 crank. You might need new tires tho.

Dark Lord · Apr 19, 2006, 06:47 AM

might need a couple... something tells me i may roast the first few.

Yeah man

BF Goods are cheap and pretty sticky. But if you want really sticky and decent price, heres some 315/35R-17 for only $174 each (for the back wheels).

And AFRs are the best heads avaliable, if you havent read about em here:

http://www.airflowresearch.com/

You can also sign up and get a catalog, quality sh*t. If i still had my 90 Rs 305 i would have gotten AFR heads. pr0digal you got a z28, LT1 i take it? PICS!!

in a fight, which do you think will win? a grizzly bear, or silverback gorrila?

LuCifer · Apr 22, 2006, 08:24 PM

LOL Silver back!! That is only if it has a laser on its head that shoots stuff

Dark Lord · Apr 22, 2006, 08:50 PM

silver back. its much much stronger then the grizly and has enough strength to rip a mans arms clean off.

Nasty.....

Dark Lord · Apr 24, 2006, 06:25 AM

damn it, my camera is useless for indoor shots. its auto focus is apparently directly related to the amount of light in the given room. im trying to take pictures down here in the basement so i can post some stuff on ebay, and every damn picture is incredibly blurry. the auto focus warning is also going completly insane. if i zoom on right on a light bulb, the AF warning goes away and the picture comes out crystal clear.

worthless camera....

ill have to either take all the pictures outside, or rig up 2 sets of work lights that both have 2 sets of 100+watt light bulbs in them. these stupid 100w light bulbs that only use 20watts power sure as hell dont seem to be helping...

ahh, you see we can also use that as part of a larger equation.

E=(RX8)x(My Right Foot)² = empty tank

Empty tank + 18 gallons x 3.15 = empty wallet

CDsDontBurn · Apr 24, 2006, 09:57 PM

18 gallons???? where'd you get that one from? pull it out of cyber space or something??? or is that the size of your tank? See, my tank is 15 gal. sooo.....

E=(RX8)x(My Right Foot)² = empty tank

Empty tank + 15 gallons x 3.15 = $9.45 more than Dark Lord's empty wallet

Dark Lord · Apr 24, 2006, 09:59 PM

wow, only 15 gallons? my vettes tank is 20.

so for me its more like 20 x 3.15 + 3.00 additive = i dont want to see the bill... just take my money.

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:07 PM

or you could live in atlanta where even premium is still only $3.09

Z28: 16 x 3.09 + 12 [slick 50] = 185 miles of glorious glorious noise [$61.44]

i love my 1.3L rotary getting an average of 17~19 miles a gallon

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:09 PM

$3.09 for premium! i'm jealous!!!! here, it's $3.31 as of this morning. i wouldn't be surprised if it went up another 6 cents by sometime this afternoon!

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:10 PM

yea, but your civic is slow as all hell and it doesn't have that "zoom zoom zoom" effect

i hope that doesn't happen. if it'll be $4.50 there, it'll probably be like $5.00 here :cry:

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:15 PM

your RX8 tops out at 150 or so....

...a civic will easily do 110-120, probably 125-130 if you didn't have any uphills....

...factor in you stopping for gas, and I'll beat you any distance beyond 225 miles

well, that 30MPH+ difference in speed, i'll get to the gas station well before you get there, and by the time i'm pulling out of the gas station, you'll be crawling along, and i'll be waving you along side me, hurring up to the next gas station 225 miles later

well, g2g for now....girlie is hovering over my shoulder

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:18 PM

she can hover!!!!

OMG!!111!!!

Dark Lord · Apr 24, 2006, 10:23 PM

i get about 160-170 miles out of a full tank for my self.

the thing with my corvette though is that its not "fast" but its quick. real quick.

my top end is 130 or so, but its real quick when i smash the gas. nothing like whiplash in 4th gear. if it hit it right, i can chirp the tires around 60-70mph.

pr0digal jenius · Apr 24, 2006, 10:26 PM

same with the camaro [both chevy V8's]

gotta love enough torque to wreak havoc all across the gear spectrum
