How do I make my 454 chevy look fast even though its slow

[Hemlock86]

Im just wondering if Twin Turbos or a 300 shot of Nawwz would be better?!?!?

Or should I get a Gs Eclipse with a 500 shot of Nawwz?!!? I want to be like the F&F movie!!!


Plus I want to tape 3 Emags together and have a super gun!!!! with a Scuba gear tank on my back!

Hell yea NAWZZ is the s***. You should twin turbo that eclipse than put a 500 shot of NAWZZ in it. You might need 2 big scuba tanks like in FATF. Then you could be cool like Brian Spilner.




Edit:I NEED NAWZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N.O.S. is'nt really worth it unless you race pro, N.O.S. halfs the life of your engine, if you want a faster engine for cheap then just have someone max the timing of your distributer, get a short belt, and mass air, better exhuast if possible(borla, flowmaster is pure sound). these are a few of the basics

[obsolete898]

Obviously we were joking and also nitrous does not half the life of your engine. If it is done correctly (nitrous control box, forged pistons, proper wet or dry set up) it is just like any other high performnce mod. It's actually better because it's cheaper and will add more power.


Edit: Advancing your timming only adds better responce at higher RPM's. Getting a shorter belt for what? Usually shorter belts won't fit, or the company would have made itthat length. A full exaust system, headers and all will usually and less than 10 horse power. A mass air flow would only do good if you add a throttle body with that. Also flowmasters are very good mufflers, borla are good but too expensive for what they are. Flowmasters actually produce less back pressure and IMO sound better on rats.

well you might as well get a supercharger, n.o.s. is a lot of stress on the engine, espeicially when you use it a lot, do you know how hard it is to only use it once in a while when you know it's there? btw on a factory 93' mustang max timing, short belt, and mass air made it a 12sec car, it was I think an almost full 2 sec drop and for only around 500 so it is a good investment.

[obsolete898]

No it didn't. What is this short belt you keep talking about, do you mean under dirve pullys? My friend has a '93 with MSD ignition, port and polished heads, intake, under pullys, flowmaster exaust, aluminum drive shaft, roller rockers, throttle body, MAS, and 3:73 gears and still does not run 12 seconds. And if your mature about your car you would not use the nitrous that much, and second of all if it is done right like I said it dose not harm the engine that much. Actually superchargers have alot of adverse affects due to the amount of drag they put on the crank and rest of the engine. You basically said advanced timming, full intake, and under pullys dropped 2 seconds off a cars time. Sorry won't happen.

[Havoc_online]

yes I do mean pullys and maybe your friend mix matched wrong or something I dunno but now I'm going crazy looking for the mustang monthly where I read this outta the mag. sorry but I do believe it can happen.

[obsolete898]

Sorry man theres has to be something other than a MAS, advanced timing, and under drive pullys. That would only add like 15 horse, even 25 is a hugely optomistic number and that would not drop you down into 12. You must have read wrong.

NOS isn't the best for you engine because it makes it burn a lot hotter which will make the life of the engine cut down significantly(sp?). i will post some pics of my dad's friend's camaro hes building when he gets it done. this thing is built for drag and is just barely street legal. he is hoping to run 8 or 9's with it and it will top out about 250mph, by the way this is without NOS.

[obsolete898]

What exactly is he supposed to mix and match.

[MagMan5446]

250mph? No. Especially not on a 1/4 mile strip.


NOS, when done correctly, will not be as damaging to your engine as when it isn't, but will still do some damage.

Flowmasters? Mufflers? Nope, headers are the way to go if you're gonna race.

I never said that nitrous is not bad for your engine, but if it is done correctly it is not that bad for it. Also if one more person says NOS I'm gonna kill someone. Please say nitrous, juice or nitro. NOS is a company that makes products for the use of nitrous oxide. Hye you could evevn do this N2O. 8 or nines of the bottle is pretty cool. My sister's boy friend runs a 72 monte carlo stock weight. It's gotta 350 w/ 500 rwhp and a 200 shot. New cam and nitrous control box for next season. say hello to 9's.
