3.4" pulley? 11's? LOL

**Sandman** · 10-05-2009

11's on a 3.4", you're going to need a lot more than that to go that fast. But it sounds like you're on the right track.

**Sonny** · 10-05-2009

It doesnt have to be the 3.4..like ive said in my other posts..I'm not a v-6 front wheel S/C guy...thats why i came here for help. At least you gave a mature response.

**gtpinsc** · 10-05-2009

can S/C produce 11 sec runs?

**Sonny** · 10-05-2009

S/C = Supercharger

**gtpinsc** · 10-05-2009

yes, ive seen turbo setups do 11 sec... 11 is kinda pushin it for bein supercharged in my opinion.

There was like 3 or 4 Video's on Streetfire of S/C GTP's running 10's...i'll go back & get the link & post them...besides even a 12 i'd be fine with.

Hell I should be number 10 on that list.

11's are doable but not on a 3.4" unless you were twincharged IMO. Or running on the baby bottle. My look on the matter is this...

The NIC cam (or non-intercooled cam) was made for cars without a IC or headers...#42.5's are plenty for the fueling side even with that cam. The NIC bleeds boost very quickly as RPM's increase so your going to be running a very small pulley to make it run fast. Fastest NIC car I've ever seen was a 12.8 car on street tires...I'm not saying 11's aren't possible, but it is a bit of a stretch.

**Sonny** · 10-05-2009

Ok..I been looking at ZZP & Intense racing...Plus your Mod list that you Made IS A HUGE HELP!!!! congrats on that..Ok..i'm all ears...Like i said if 11's are a stretch mid 12's should be possible...forget about the NIC cam that list is what was suggested to me...but the only thing i bought so far was the PCM, Headers, S/C i'm sending tomorrow,Throttle body i have.

11s is a car that breaks a lot. i would look for something closer to home, like low 13s first.

**Sonny** · 10-05-2009

I absolutly agree,...I mean if this were a small block nova i would know exactly what to do...but i'm sure no matter what package i put together for it first time down the track will run 16's its just my luck...Built a car for my son a few years ago..91 camaro BB Chevy turbo 400 391 posi..First time out...15.50...after 3 months of correcting carb & chassis problems it runs 11.80's and he can drive it everyday...But i'm in a whole different world here fellas..

I'd love to be able to tune a car using a windex bottle full of ether and a screw driver.

F*ck fuel injection.

**Bio248** · 10-05-2009

these cars run very reliably for a long time when you only push them into the low 13s/high 12s area. they arent that hard to get to go that fast either, but you have to address the main points of these cars to make them last:

keep intake heat down (no super small pullies)
the colder it is, the more boost you make, and the easier it is to blow it up
no crazy driving (double downshifts into first, burnouts, etc)

other than that these cars are pretty nice and cheap as hell to fix. thats why i got out of it because everyone can afford them now.
