Whar?!?!?!

I'm speachless... I really am.

Here's a quik reply to my own question. He stroked the motor but left the stock exaust on. Seem's kinda wierd. Plus from the last car topic post it seemed you don't really know that much about cars. You also changed your position twice on ricers. First it was muscle, then the 350zx will smoke all, and then to the muscle car advertisment on that last car thread. Also he spent the money on a dyno pull just to see what his exaust did.

[Zumina]

yes. 77' my friend, my B, 360 cui (OBed 350)....

[Zumina]

you'd be SURPRISED how often you'll dyno your car when you have a buddy that owns a shop with one. He's been known to dyno it once a week, testing the performance of different fuels (everything from 87-100). The Ricer Muscle Debate? Just looking to fire some people up; not to mention I like both domestic, as well all imported performance machines; which I thought I made quite clear in more than one post.....

[obsolete898]

Well....

I'm sorry, but the true "ricers" will kick the crap out of A LOT of domestic V8s. Even the wanna-be domestic ricers are capable of it. This past weekend I saw a Quad 4 powered Cavalier race, and beat, an Iroc Z. So, at some point, I want a tastefully done rice burner, and a 67' Camaro.

ok kid, 300ZX Twin Turbo will smoke just about ANYTHING, same thing goes for the Acura NSX, Toyota Supra (NA and Turbo), and the newer RX-7 Turbos.

then we get

And what's OBed 350, is that board over .0035 or a 350 board over to a 360, which is a little to much.

At any rate I was refering to imports, when I was talking about exaust.

[Zumina]

ah, well, I was referring to domestics.
AT some point I DO want a 67' Camaro and a nice rice burner.
Last I checked, those cars will take a majority of the cars out there; stock for stock.
Em, the 360 was stock, as in, he did not have the block OBed himself, it came from GM that way. Call it an oddity, but that's the what the LTs of that year had in them.
The car was bought from an old farmer in New Mexico a few years ago by my father. It had sat in his barn for 10-12 years in it's stock form. My brother took posession of the car when he expressed an interest, and since then, he's been modding the crap out of it. New heads, cam, intake manifold, carb, and a host of other things.

[obsolete898]

Cool, but like I proved in that thread stock for stock and similar dollar value those cars would be thoroughly raped by domestics.

My car runs 9 seconds with out nos. I am running a pontaic 455. Nos makes a diffrence but not enough to be worth halfing you motor life. Nos = motor melter. Too many people are caught up in that fast n the fourious crap. A well biult big block will always be the KING. Let me clue you in on a secret......NOTHING REPLACES CUBIC INCHES....PIROID.

[obsolete898]

Do you watch the NHRA, how may of those cars run nitrous. All of them. True there is no replacement for dissplacment but saying nitrous is a motor melter is very ignorant. Once again nitrous done correctly is hardly a problem for motors.

Edit: A differance? Yea i'd say a 200hp shot is a bit of a differance.

[Zumina]

Obosolete is right. A nitrous system that has been custom tailored to a specific engine/tranny/exaust combo will not have that much of a negative effect. Even so, it's not something you'd want to use often. The NHRA guys run it simply because they need every advantage they can get, even if it yields a paltry 5 hp.

[Tim Jacobitz]

lets get the facts strait nos make a diffrence. I don't deni that. but we are not talking about nhra are we. We are talking about street cars. If you think nos is a replacement for a well biult moter you are sadly mistaken. I have run nos and do not disagree it makes the car faster but its just not worth the money for a street car. I have seen alot of uninformed guys put nos to a car and melt it. All I am saying is if you can't biuld it don't nos it, or you'll lose every time.

[obsolete898]

Well what have I been saying? A motor built for NITROUS will be a well built motor, considering that the whole bottom half will be forged.

Also how did they melt it. Did it just burst into flames with a pool of motor on the ground. When nitrous has a problem (or detonates) it has a much different effect. And nitrous, for the money, is the most HP gain you can get. So it is worth it.

Also, any true drag racer I've every met would slap someone for refering to nitrous as NOS. NOS is a brand name damn it.
