Godspeed!

bubba428 03-12-2008 06:50 AM

blew the headers gaskets on the 1st run and lost a plug wire to the header......bolts must have rattled loose on the way there. I tightened em up and spliced the wire back together but it was too little too late. O well, theres still next week.

BTW I ran a 14.4 @ 95.44, dropped my 1/8 time from a 9.9 to a 9.3
I came off the line getting wheel hop like a MOFO, pullin a 2.0 60' barked 2nd nice and loud
I need Tire....these freakin 215s just are not gonna cut it

i got 2 16x8 4 gen rims with 245 wide street tires on them. Would fix the issue with your tires sticking out 2 inches with that 4th gen rear.. and get some 16' DR's on them and you will be set

bubba428 03-12-2008 06:30 PM

I was supposedly going to get a set from a certain member......but that never came together

JerzyIroc 03-12-2008 10:17 PM

sweet man. now you can update your sig lol.

bubba428 03-13-2008 05:59 AM

ahhhh true....

Mike 03-13-2008 10:28 AM

14.49 huh......you should race the trailblazer, it would be fun

bubba428 03-13-2008 01:06 PM

haha....for some reason the car wasn't firing on all 8, kept backfiring. I need to figure out this crap cause theres no way the car is going to spin 2nd on the track and be that slow. I think I actually leaned out the carb too much

Mike 03-13-2008 03:13 PM

still be a good run :) ill probably run between 13.6 and 14.0 in this weather

bubba428 03-13-2008 08:10 PM

I'll line up with ya.....but I need some time to go over the freaking car again

pull your plugs and take a look at them. if theyre more white than anything, chances are its lean. if it was backfiring, i would think that it is a ignition or timing issue since a backfire is basically unspent fuel. i dont think it would backfire if it was too lean.

on a side note- do you really have your rear brakes installed and is that the original trans or a different one? and is your rear making any more horrible noises?

bubba428 03-14-2008 06:02 AM

the plugs are brand new...the only miles they had were to the track...I think either the firing order is wrong or the wires are shot. the trans stopped making noise and so did the rear, I'm not sure why but I still need to change them. and yes the the brakes were installed but I had used calipers and they seized. so0o untill I can afford new ones no

Looks like you got me beat already. My car's still on jack stands. I have to get crackin on the TH350 and get it together. I got a mini spool, headers, TH350 swap kit and i'm in the process of trying to get lighter 15" rims (8" and 3 1/2"). All I need is a 4.11 ring and pinion. Do you know anyone who's got a 4.11 gear set new or used for a 7.5 3 series 10 bolt?

bubba428 03-18-2008 07:11 AM

you mean 4.10s?

Mini spool? Do you have c-clip eliminators?
