save for a ls1
My coworker and his buddy build up fiero's with sc 3800's. Google some fiero forums to try to find some info. They buy through intense and zzperformance.com Right now they have a ticked out fiero with a built up auto trans and he sheared the one of the shafts from the torque converter. This guy keeps breaking parts before he can get it on the dyno. I dont know what trannies are in the v6 fbodies but if you build a big v6 the tranny might need some work too.
what does a stock 3800 series II run as far as a 1/4 mile in a Fbody? The car I'm looking at is for my wifes DD, just curious, it's a 97 firebird, loaded, 78K miles, auto, 3.42 gears. And do the have the 4L60-E tranny, or something else?
id say high 15s
hmm, so with a set of 4.10s, Stall conv, CAI, headers, and a 75-100 shot it ought to run preety good, probably mid-low 13s. Thanks, I bought the car for 3500, it blue booked for 6K-6500, not bad huh.
well yeah...
i mean i've owned two ls1s and two 3.8s
I mean i love ls1's but i know the 3.8 insde and out, and they are good starter motors.
I'm just taking up for the v6 guys.
i was one once, and it pissed me off when eveytime i asked an honest question i heard "get an ls1"
i know GM still uses the format like crazy man.
my 3.8 runs 14.2's on motor...intake, tune, cutout, headers, icat, 3.42's, some suspension, and sticky tires.
has a 100 wet shot now..so ill be looking for the 13's this season.
however ive got an SS to play with too
getting it to hook is a big part of it.
i run some 275 ET streets. ive also got relos, LCA's, solid panhard, exedy clutch, and an aluminum DS. theres more to the performance too, MSD 8.5's and some other stuff i didnt list. however, there are no internal engine mods at all.
i used to run some 275 street tires and it would spin into second. killed my 60' times.
I had my fun with the 3.8.. but now that all my buddies are moving on to the LSX engines, RWD, etc.. I think its time for me too as well so this is where i stand. Vid of my car at ZZperformance.com in grand rapids michigan.
