Trans Am is sold

[WWhittle]

My poor car is leaving me....it will have a new home in L.A., California. The new owner plans to run the car on motor in a heads up 9.60 quarter mile class that is apparantly pretty popular out there.

I am waiting on confirmation as to when the transporter will be here to pick it up.

I sorda hate to see it go, but i look forward to getting my new car too.

Now that i don't have anything to race, i will be calling ProLine and Sheppard everyday harrassing them.

[slowgreen99]

Congrats Wes. Is this the same 7.8 1/8th mile guy??

[WWhittle]

no, this is a different guy- the other guy was from Florida, this guy is from California. I don't have alot of faith in him either, he was a little confused how the shifter worked which is not a good sign.

[Whaler]

[91notch]

i can't remember exactly where he was from, i just know he is an hour past Jacksonville from Charleston.
Best pass in the car was an 8.0 in the 1/8th on 6 systems.

you axin me? or paul?

[WWhittle]

you axin me? or paul?


you- or whoever- let's see what those trained eyes are made of.

[Matts94Z28]

5.60's

[slowgreen99]

id say its seen a low fifty, high forty

[Pesce Nero]

you- or whoever- let's see what those trained eyes are made of.

chassis cert 8.5/1.57 is 5.41.

i have never seen the car

[KRYPTONITE]

6:20 on motor it has one stage it runs 5:60,,,, damn I good:bigthumb:

[WWhittle]

this is fun

[Whaler]

Yeah it's fun cause you got the golden ticket. When does it ship out?

5.75? I only got to see video of the car. 6.15 on motor? I would think 4 tenths would be decent since you don't spray from home.

[slowgreen99]

ok ok, I didnt wanna tell everyone, but ive seen the slips. On motor, it went 6.89, on spray it went 6.21....just looks fast

[KRYPTONITE]

6:20 on motor it has one stage it runs 5:60,,,, damn I good:bigthumb:

Hold on are we talking about 1/8 times because i was talking about 60ft times:hysterical:

[1998ta__1991rs]

i say 6.70's on motor 6.00-6.10 on gas

[Mike]

5.70 On all stages

[dkbmxer002]

never got to see it run, but i am guessing 5.5's with some left in it. and if you went all out 5.3's.

[Bradleyrj]

Dang, I wish I woulda gotten a chance to check that thing out. I need to see the new ride when it get's here.

[WWhittle]

lol- you wish

i say 6.70's on motor 6.00-6.10 on gas

of all people, i wouldn't have guessed that you would be so far off. 6.70's on motor???? Give me a little more credit than that- you think it never went faster than a 6.70??

[WWhittle]

5.70 On all stages

it only has one stage. And a dry one at that. And no progressive.

Dang, I wish I woulda gotten a chance to check that thing out. I need to see the new ride when it get's here.


I would love to see my new ride too. Getting very anxious.

[slowgreen99]

haha, im stickin with my first post on the guessed time...low fifty, high forty

[dkbmxer002]

am i way off?

[WWhittle]

haha, im stickin with my first post on the guessed time...low fifty, high forty

you think an 3500 lb. LS1 with a single dry kit, no progressive on drag radials can go 40's????

[WWhittle]

am i way off?

5.30's would have never happened- i can tell you that.

[slowgreen99]

you think an 3500 lb. LS1 with a single dry kit, no progressive on drag radials can go 40's????

LS1, maybe not, Fulton motor, prolly

[dkbmxer002]

what about the 5.5's part? :D

[WWhittle]

LS1, maybe not, Fulton motor, prolly


Even Fulton isn't that good. With a fogger and progressive, yeah, but not with a single dry kit and no progressive.

[WWhittle]

what about the 5.5's part? :D


maybe, maybe not.

some of ya'll give it too much credit, some of ya'll don't give it enough, and then one of ya'll was pretty damn close.

i always wondered what people actually thought that car would run.

[Pesce Nero]

you think an 3500 lb. LS1 with a single dry kit, no progressive on drag radials can go 40's????

and this is how stupid i am, what is a dry kit?

[dkbmxer002]

i never saw it run so i am really just throwing a number out based on what was listed as done to it :D

[WWhittle]

and this is how stupid i am, what is a dry kit?


simply put- a dry kit sprays nitrous only into the intake and a wet kit sprays both nitrous and fuel.

[slowgreen99]

single digit 1/4s on motor.....im thinkin my numbers have to be in the ball park, maybe an in the park home run?!? hhahaah
Dry is just nitrous injected with injectors compensating for fuel instead of another solenoid

[dkbmxer002]

i also wasn't aware you were only on a dry nozzle. with a couple stages through a plate or direct port i wouldn't see 5.3's being too far fetched... haha

[slowgreen99]

same time post

[WWhittle]

The car also has 3:50 gears in it- that leaves a couple tenths on the table at the track, but THE BITCH WORKS IN THE SKREET

[Pesce Nero]

where does the added fuel come from? injectors pump up the volume??

how does the injectors know when to do that

[slowgreen99]

Im tellin

if the car was set up to run only at the track, then yeah, that might not be too far fetched. but i was not anywhere in the ballpark of a 5.30

[slowgreen99]

you must be referring to the minor league parks then

[WWhittle]

yes, you are correct, the injectors add the extra fuel. they know to do it because your tune tells it too. and in my case, the FAST system told it too and completely controlled it.

[Bradleyrj]

Welcome to my world. Have only seen mine once since last September. It should be here in a few weeks though.

[1998ta__1991rs]

haha im just fuckin around. If what you told lorenz was true then i know, but i think its been faster than what you told him.

[WWhittle]

haha im just fuckin around. If what you told lorenz was true then i know, but i think its been faster than what you told him.


i honesty can't remember what i told him but either way i am sure he has a damn good idea. He knew what it ran on motor when i bought it, and i am sure he knows it went faster for me.

[Mike]

it only has one stage. And a dry one at that. And no progressive.


I knew it only had 1 stage, just messing around with the "all stages" coment. I didn't know that it was a dry shot with no progressive unit. I think I'll change my bid to 8.0. :bigthumb:

What do I win?

[Matts94Z28]

5.6x's

[minytrker]

Do you want me to post my guess?

[WWhittle]

Do you want me to post my guess?

sure- what the hell

[minytrker]

.00, -.20 on motor and .75, -.85 on gas 1.29-30 60ft

[LXtasy]

Faster than me......... WHAT DO I WIN WES?!

[WWhittle]

.00, -.20 on motor and .75, -.85 on gas 1.29-30 60ft

damn, not bad.
60' is exactly right.

[WTFWSAT]

5.59 +/- .02

[slowgreen99]

who cares Wes, it was always a turtle

[WWhittle]

who cares Wes, it was always a turtle

thank you sir, thank you very much.
speaking of turtles- is your car still running?

[slowgreen99]

running-barely, working right-not at all

[WWhittle]

i know of another motor that you might be able to get your hands on- let me know if you are still looking.

Donnie happen to still have the TH400 trannys for the 4.6? Or at least the bellhousing, I can get a tranny.

Does he run a glide now?

[WWhittle]

Does he run a glide now?

yes- when it was the mod motor he ran a turbo 400, with the new motor he runs a glide.
