how would a cold air, chipand a 3.73 in a v-6 compare with a 4.3L 5speed s10 with a 3.42 gear, msd ,intake ,exhaust, and power pullies in the 1/4 mile?<edited><editID>Ronjon</editID><editDate>37788.5521643519</editDate></edited>

 

are the cars autio or stick?? ive NEVER had trouble with an s10, be it stock or modified, no matter the condition of my car.

 

well you've got a s/c. my friend has a lt1 in his s10. could you give that a run.</P>


well anyway i've got an 01 v6 5speed 3.73, cold air and some chip i got on the car. i have 24545 16 all the way around could i beat my friends 4.3L has 180 stock HP he's got msd 6al and power pullies a dropin K&amp;N a flow tech muffler and a 3.42 gear.</P>


it pulls hard but i think ill get him. he acts like hes a fast *** truck its beaten many GTs but i have beat a few around here also</P>

 

Congrats to you and your buddy on your kills. Now, go find someone in a GT that can drive.

 

Forget the Nitrous. Build the motor first. When you get that wild hair to just stomp it for no reason, you'll be glad you did. Because hitting the button and having the bottle be empty is a serious wood killer.

 

well the problem with all 3 is we'll want more power that's when engines parts start to fly...100 shot will wear on the engine but say 100 shot on a progessive system will be smoother and easier to deal with trackion problems some like a 2 sec delay then 45-65-100..I have a super charger and its has it problems as well mostly in the tuning dept. which a chip that doesn't data log is useless and 1 lean condition just as nitrous and it could be a problem...turbo are coming on again but with better results but IMO you need a cooler and their not cheap

 

you know we have a guy around the shop that did something like that seems to work

 

All those ideas are great but more you pump on the top end makes no differance if you dont balance out the rest. I would start on the exhast system first to max out what you already have open up the flow before adding more forced air injection. Nitrous is cheap but you will pay for it in engine wear and tear down the way. There are lots of bolt on item to gain horse power but it make no differance if those horses never make it back to the wheels. There is lots of thing to look at before you bolt anything on your car. tires size, rear end gear ratio, trasmission gears, exhaust flow, cam, porting, drive pulleys, pushrods,roller cam, intake manifold, then supercharger, you may have to replace a few other things for cooling radator and water pump to racing spec. oil pump and better filters, Air flow to the engine and intakes.All power add ons have a cost, I would spend a little here and there to insure my car is balanced then to add a cheap add on that will cost me more down the line.

 

ok dude....you realize these threads are over 4 years old? get a little more recent, im not sure if these people are even still here

 

If you look at his join date it says 2004, and his post counts are tiny, maybe he's still stuck in the past.
