If they keep me much past AUG I'll have enough $$$$ for a ATI procharger :twisted:

Yes 1AD did get extended :roll:

That's cool Val! Then maybe you can try to shut Bruce up!

Firechicken · **Posted:** Tue Apr 13, 2004 1:44 pm

Trust me I would love to put one on the Firechicken but will see what happens come Aug.

121 left!

Man you guys are gonna be too fast if that comes to fruition. Time for me to find another cheap LT1 and build up!

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 13, 2004 4:22 pm

I can't afford to be faster, so I'll just watch from the sidelines!

It would take more than a supercharger maybe a supercharger with heads cam and it might be close remember. I have a little black bottle with 150 hapees in it that is on top of the HC setup which is good for 100 also. Good luck Val hurry back.

"I'm just funnin' with ya Billy!"

I know 150HP would not be quite enough. It would be a lot of fun, though. Especially since he already has the 9"!

Hawk · **Posted:** Tue Apr 13, 2004 9:42 pm

yup it would even be better If they would bring there buts back to germany so we can BBQ and talk about the events.

Firechicken · **Posted:** Wed Apr 14, 2004 3:45 am

Yes the procharger would be nice but gotta get the coilovers first. The deals on heads now a days is really starting to look better & better. Only one problem........gotta get it to stick like glue first!! You know me, not happy unless I'm turning corners. Your right, I need to put the 9in through it's paces. No more worries about blowing that 10bolt to pieces so I see some 1/4 mile action happening this year! Still need to get Roy's 9in in his car. That BBQ and BSing sounds GREAT, hopefully we can do that in SEP or OCT.

120 and dropping!

Yow can get over 400 NA on a cam only car now. $600 for a complete new kit. Val I will sell you my old cam and new 918 springs for bout 1/2 that and it idles good

Firechicken · **Posted:** Wed Apr 14, 2004 6:20 pm

Bruce,
I will level with you.......I bought a cam kit back in JAN from Thunder, complete with titainum retainers and all the trimmings. I have all the bolt ons except headers bought now also. That is another reason why I was looking at the coilovers. Had I known that you where going to be putting yours up for sale I would bought yours!!!! I went with the TR224, it's mild but should have what I'm looking for. I didn't really want to go to far with it as I have my 73 that I need to refocus $$$$$ on. I want to get that into the low 9s N/A.....Got alot of work ahead of me with that!!! Still undecided whether to pull the 462ci Pontiac out and put in a 427 BB Chevy or to go for a 625ci Pontiac and be done with it......I guess I'll decide when I get back to the states!

Garry · **Posted:** Wed Apr 14, 2004 6:48 pm

625ci

Hawk · **Posted:** Wed Apr 14, 2004 9:07 pm

625CI I hear good tings about the TR 224 a bit small by today's standard but a good daily driver with a punch is it on a 112 or 114 LSA.

Firechicken · **Posted:** Thu Apr 15, 2004 3:45 am

Yes the 625ci would be nice but the block alone is $3500 then of course the spceial crank, rods, pistons, timing chain. The rest of the internals and Pontiac Super Chief heads, intake are of Pontiac make. It'll take a nice chunk of $$$ but I think it can be done for under $12K.
As for the TR224 I went with the 114, should of went with the 112 but was also looking at emisions just incase I end up back in CA. Everything that I heard about the cam was all good, I almost went with the GM hot cam but wanted to step it up alittle so the TR224 was the choice. Should be the right amount of power I'm looking for at the Auto-x and for road racing. Hopefully it'll hold it's own on the street. I can always go bigger later.

119 & another one gone :roll:
