The 200r4 is close to being completely installed after 2 days of work. I have to wire up the lockup and my trans cooler fan, put the driver's side header back on, and install the driveshaft. Also I have to go a exhaust shop to move my cutouts back because they hit the trans cross member since it was moved back. Overall a straight forward swap, but extremely exhausting and time consuming.:boring: I found a guy around town that will install 3.42s. I haven't gotten that ambitious:TU: I went total over kill on the cooler. I am using a B&M 10x7.5 cooler w/ fan, and I fabbed up braided stainless lines w/ the nice AN fittings to run it to the trans. No more ugly steel lines that touched the headers. I want this trans to last a few hundred thousand miles, and to stop using the trans fluid "heater" that was in use before will help:Brow:
C'mon man.... you can't just go there and not give us any times!!!:spank: :spank: :blast: Get yer but to the track!!!!:3gears: Glad it seems to have picked up.... would've sucked big time to have done all that and not gained anything:moonu: :Brow:
Man, it seems like the only thing you will not have done in the end is the high compression pistons. I hope it is in the 13s without the pistons.
I'd be happy to. I wasn't planning on going to Montgomery, but I could if someone would like to join me.
Well, originally at Alabama International, but Montgomery is near my family's lake cabin, which is where I usually am on the weekends. Sorry I changed my mind, I will most likely run at Montgomery.:TU:
Yes, that is where I usually go. Possibility of going to Montgomery Friday night. I will keep everyone posted.:beer
Well, the gear/transmission swap got me back to 14.2 which was what it would run with stock intake and gears. :af: I painted up the stock intake and put it back on. Back to the track!:beers2: I got some heads in the works today, and I am going to test them with each intake.
What were your RPM's through the trap?? Speed?? I just noticed your Sig... tell me that run wasn't on 205/50R14'sou: ou: you should not be that slowo No: I figured mid 13's at least.... Time slip???
Cason, know anyone with a smaller DP Holley to try? Between that big carb and high-volume intake you might be killing the mixture velocity, unless you can launch over 3000 rpm, take that thing over 7000 rpm. Personally I think the intake is a great step but won't show its true colors without more cam, compression & head flow. ...but I think you kinda knew that already, thus the future plans. :TU: Devon
Trap RPM was about 5500 & 96 MPH. 60' 2.06 Haha, yes I ran the small tires. They hook great and it's all I had, since I was running 2.56 gears not too long ago:Brow: . The reason I choose the big Holley is 1, the Q-Jet I had was already 800 CFM, and 2, Sean's 400 HP low compression 350 made peak power with a 1000 CFM carb. I don't understand how this intake can make solid gains across the board on the dyno, but track times suffer. Only thing I can think of is that the dyno runs were at higher RPMs than what is used at the track. I might go to the track tomorrow and test the stock intake. Hopefully, that will point us in the right direction. I am planning on these heads flowing 270 CFM on the intake, and 180 on the exhaust. Not bad for a college freshman's little car project:laugh:
Are you sure your tach is correct ? those RPM's don't sound right with the other numbers . What RPM are you shifting at ?
