a 16mm throttle body

16mm?!?! Damn man, you need to do some work with that...

Dyno results for my car PROVE that a cone filter HURTS PERFORMANCE. With a cone, I gained about 7 HP, but I lost about 22 TQ.

I noticed that as well. That and going from the 52mm TB to the 62mm TB. When the 52mm was on, the engine seemed to have a better low end, but didn't have as strong of a top end. But since my car is ALL top end now and NO low end, I might have to start experimenting some...

16.8 for the 3.1 GP. If you need a slip, you are a dork...no one lies about a 16.8!

Ill have one for the cutlass next year given that it doesnt fall apart over the winter (possibly).

Brad....working on his car again? Must be fantasy land in kansas, selling all your performance parts and then working on the engine makes no sense to me. I think its time to get a project car and leave the U body for audio only. Ill donate a stripped 92 GP if you wanna pick it up:P

wtf did you race in that slip on the left?!?!? 7 sec 1/4 mile

Looks like it was prolly a sport bike.

Thats still one helluva sport bike. I think the highest division of bike racing is running like 6.4 sec ETs right now

sorry about that. I meant to say a 62mm throttle body.

I've got a picture from that race.

Oh yea, Tri-State is an NHRA track too, lots of VHT on that track. Plus you get a tail wind sometimes. It is on highway 20 about 30 miles west of Dubuque, Iowa.

[robby1870]

phucking sweet! I like the name you gave the picture, lolololol

[StudlyCamaro]

i ran a 15.935 with a 2.18 60' this summer in 95* heat and mid 90% humididty, my raceweight was 3174# , i removed the entire intirior so i could run a 15 sec pass.. it would easily run a 15 full weight with good weather i believe

at the time i had a 3.23 rearend (no lsd) (now i have a 3.42 with an LSD)
a K&N CAI
cutout
underdrive pulley (crank no alt)

i bet i could squeak a 15.5 with the new rear, it feels a lot stronger now, and im sure my launches will be much better now that im spinnin 2

It's called the "Sucking Air Thru A Straw Swap". Saves gas.

[1QUICKHATCH]

my best in my '89 cavalier RS 2.8 5spd was 15.54@88 mph that was w/o pass seat, spare, jack. mods modifyed upper plenum, solid rear motor mount and a 2.25" dynomax muffler on the stock 2" exaust system. looking for 14's in my hatch in the spring when the track opens!

[wiccanferret]

Um....with a 2.8? You have a slip by any chance?

[3100 MPFI]

I believe it. I have seen some modded 2.8's rip som eother people new assholes. You get one that is running fresh, and had has some minor work done to it, it is a force to be reckened with.

As for me, with my 62mm throttle body, I do not have to worry about fuel economy. Thanks to the wonderful Ben, and his custom chip with LEAN CRUISE, I get about 45 MPG HIGHWAY. But if I am not on teh highway, I usually average about 8 MPG (curse my lead foot).

[v6h.o.]

his times are legit for the 2.8,
