im just gonna copy and paste the thread from tgo that i started
well the decision has been made, as of today(Friday) my rs is no longer a street car.
ive decided to do a real serious build,im still going to use my current engine/drivetrain setup,except im gonna turn the car into a purpose built drag car.
as to give u an idea were im going with this
target car wieght is gonna be 2,700-2,800 pounds
automatic trans
back halfed/4 link rear suspension/mini tub'ed ( for future sbc if i so decide to go that route )
fiberglass doors and lexan windows
the engine is going to be my 3.3L 60* v6 except im going to bump compression back up to 11.0-1+ with aluminum heads
the car will be alky injected with megasquirt ems.
and a single garrett gt40r turbo
anyways im hoping to have this semi completed/finished by late summer
and as i work on this ill be posting pics starting this weekend, with the gutting of the car and removal of the rear floor section
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i did start the project but after removing the gas tank and some other stuff on the car to prepare to cut up the rear floor/truck section,i decided i just couldn't cut this car up.
luckily for me i have a friend ive been dealing with over the last 3-4 years who umm sorta specializes in 3rdgen f-bodys.he sorta runs a 3rdgen carp parts/car place out of his house.any given day he can have 4-12 cars at his house.
so i gave him up a call and he has a nice 87 iroc with no motor/trans and a partially gutted interior that im going to buy for 500$'s to complete this project.
i have 2 assembled 3.3L engines, one will go into the rs as a street car,the other will make its way into the new car with a gen 3 top end. i figured the new cr will be around 12.0-1 once i do some chamber mods
as far as how much boost ill run i don't know yet,prolly 14 psi range maybe more
im looking at 2 classes right now
super pro which is 7.50 - 10.99 brackets
or super street which runs on a 10.90 index
both of which allows turbos/superchargers and alcohol as fuel
though super street i believe lets me drop down to a min weight of 2,000 pounds(though i doubt i could get the car this light) i have to get a current rule book though, mines a year or 2 old at this point
when i say alky i mean this engine is going to run on straight ethanol,gas will be used to cold start the motor though on cold days at the track.
comments/suggestions,, ur crazy for doing this is welcome for replys lol
