What tires did you get that 60' on? And what bolt ons do you have?
Mods are OBX headers/midpipe, FTI 3600, Vararam intake, FAST 102mm, Camaro 3.45, underdrive pulley, and
Mickey Thompsons drag radials

Not thread crashing but what's the fastest stock stall stock gear these days?

Congrats on this site for being the fastest bolt on G8 GT. You need to gut your car out just a bit more to beat the 11.91.

Also, this is in the wrong forum.

Congrats

3600 stall/ 3:45 gears... How does that drive.

Better tighter than the stock crap
The stalls of today are no where near the jerkieness of the stalls of 20 years ago they have factory like slippage

Think it was lower like a 12.2-3 since I went 12.4 and was off by .2 still

[Kermit]

Congrats Man,
I did not know you broke the record when we met yesterday. Looks like we both got new PBs. :)

The stock-bolt on Was 12.40 by Drugs in Del. He held it for almost 2 years
12.5 stock with a stock stall and rear was 12.5 by MGMGT and I tied his last year

What does stock bolt on even mean? Obviously your not stock if you have bolt ons

I'm assuming no boost or nitrous.

[landsarmstrong]

Stock bolt-on mean

NO
Noz or any boost ( turbo ProCharger supercharger)

Once you touch the head bolts or timing cover/oil pump cover its not stock

One can change the rear, trans, stall, cai, intake (ported stock or a fast), pulleys, tires rims.
Basically anything external on and around the drive train that can be bolted on or bolted off (replacement of everyday parts)

Congrats, but this should have been in the 1/4 drag racing section. I think your right on all points of the bolt on issues.

What kind of tune do you have? I am considering LT's and a vararam - and a tune ASAP thereafter. Very awesome performance man!

It started with a safe tune by Frost In Richmond Virginia
But that was an unfinished tune a long time ago
With my HP tuner and help from a computer wiz it's our own custom tune motor and trans. the big man that does the tuning is on this board I'll let him post something if he wants LOL

congras on the old school win...gears and traction. No better combo!

[hivoltagedriver]

That's cooking for sure. Kind of the same route I want to go - see how far I can push it with full bolt-ons before a cam swap. Curious to see how much you pick up with the cam.

Good luck... You going for it full weight or with weight reduction?

[landsarmstrong]

I did not know or heard of weight reduction being a mod LOL I have 2 front seats back in the car
All that matters is the 60 foot , quarter mile time and trap speed

Just curious what the car weighs and what it will take to beat my old record..I've been watching and waiting for someone to chase it... I know you knocked off a couple hundred pounds.. I never weighed mine and other than swapping mufflers for straight pipes and wheels never pulled anything out of it..

[landsarmstrong]

I thought MGM GT has the cam only
What was you time on cam only

He has/had head work done.. record is in my sig.. Pulled into the track aired down the rears tech'ed in and ran..

Just throwing this into the mix as well: The guy that i track with Dustin (dctg8- on the other board) is also chasing the cam only record. Our last time out his PB was 11.452 @ 120. He doesnt have any head work either. Im think you two (Lenny) would be a killer heads up race at ECS in April...

So is that 11.452 the new record then?
If they do line up video please I am looking forward to all the videos from ECS I was bummed to see it get pushed back the videos you guys post make my days a little better

Im not sure, since hes not really active on this board. But either way I think Dustin and Lenny see the 11.3 record by MGM as the one to be chased down...I have to agree, regardless of head work or not

[Semperfire]

I dont like getting into the small details to many opinions. But what I do like is watching you guys push on the setups and making our cars go fast some of the NA setups are getting better results than FI guys and thats sikk

I have to agree, especially when you look at the money involved in a FI setup...

We are ballin on a budget!

[landsarmstrong]

All that I have done so far has been on a tight budget other than gas every day maintenance replacement stuff and the car payment
I have only spent no more than 4,000. all used like new but still used parts just wheeling and dealing with local ccg8 brothers and keeping my eyes the on boards for good deals
Half the fun is doing all the work my self and with friends 1/4 at car shows and a 1/4 at the track

Really looking forward to getting Rick to mill port and polish my heads and Fast I going to try to get this done before the meet but unlikely
Get the heads done or go to the meet
Hmmm

Dam that's movin. Now I know what number to shoot for.

[landsarmstrong]

Damn it now looks like I may not make it to the Darlington shootout. I went to MIR Friday and it was not I thought a good day.
After working late Thursday night prepping the car many many stupid little things and even I snapped 3 drag studs I finely got the car done then a trailer ramp collapsed as I was going up smashing the lower bumper O well no show car this year 1am car loaded and strapped down.
Overslept left the house at 9am then had a trailer tire blow out on our beltway I495 no spare My buddy Kevin was 15 min. behind me. Took Sher to Mr tire got a new tire on and boom at the track now it 12:30
The first 2 pases were in the 12.2../12.1...
This sucks I did better stock LOL
After I got my grove I did 9 passes all of them at 11.80 to 11.84 with a I think sucky 170-1.90. 60' and 117-119 trap speed
The trans is done for track days 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th I would shift at 6000 it would rev to 7000 then slam into gear feeling like old school neutral drops
I felt shitty and disappointed
But after talking with MGM GT, Drugs & G8Greg they think my time were great especially with the issues I have with the trans so thanks guys it means alot to me for the support
Now it's time to get the rear rebuilt with 3.72 Put in the th400 with the 1 piece driveshaft
Hope I can get it done by April 20th

[landsarmstrong]

Well over a hundred passes
Almost 23,000 ml.

Tuned by Frost originally 3 years ago changed by MGM GT and me
Tune not the problem even in man mode the trans slipping to the rev before going into gear
On the street with street tires its ok but on the awesome sticky track with drag pack the trans can't hold the new HP
Race built th400 time next week no more sloppy dd commuter trains

Thats not many passes, miles or not enough HP to do it..

[shane]

Thats not many passes, miles or not enough HP to do it..
I have to agree.

I made WAY more power in my G8 and had ALOT of track and street passes under my belt.

What trans cooler did you have on it? From what i've seen on stalled g8s its good to overfill them by 3/8-1/2 quart.

[landsarmstrong]

I have a nice Jaguar 4 core and the JHP G8 2 core
I think being almost a qt. low had alot to do with it slipping
but still this gives me a chance to get off my ass and put the th400 in
Plus I never liked our modern transmissions they are nice driving to work or long road trips and now my G8 does neither.She is now a show/race car lol

A g8 should never be turned into a race car. This is why i sold mine. I just think the whole Th400 swap in a G8 is a kinda dumb idea. Putting a 3 speed into a car that came with a 6 speed auto i a litle beyond me unless you really do plan on making it a pure drag car.


And yes being that low will cause ALOT of issues. I've tuned various G8s that had been 1/2-1 quart low on bolt on cars causing them to slip bad in 1st and 2nd. Proper level fixed it.

I agree.. I've worked with Roy tuning his G8 and we had similar issues which .. As it turned out the trans fluid was low

Yes it is slowly being turned into a 4,000 lb.race car as I can afford the upgrade needs just before they brake
Its all now a hobby and doing personal best at the track each time I go out.
It is my fun to go to a show or cruise in and show off my mods and time slips
Most people are like WOW holy cow.
