This is what you said. I never said my car would dyno 290 whp. I said it would dyno 280 whp. I also said my car wasn't stock, a page back I list my mods. With my mods I'm guessing it will run around 280 whp which it is capable of doing.

You should read a whole conversation before butting in acting like an internet bad @$$ and making yourself look like a complete idiot. I've owned this car for awhile, I know what I have done to it and I know what it should run. Why you guys are contradicting me, I will never know.

I also don't understand how you have to try and make everyone feel like complete crap over their ride or accomplishments with their car. Why does it matter? Instead of acting this way you should be supportive of your fellow car enthusiast. I used to act like you when I was sixteen until I realized how much of an idiot and jerk I was being. Also the fact that other people wouldn't want to converse with me at car meets because only negativity would come out of my mouth.

Were you beaten as a child? What do you have to prove on this forum? I'm not angry at you, I just feel very sorry for you.

PS
Making your type face larger doesn't make your point correct.

Not every engine is the same out of the factory. In fact many late LT1s do 270 whp. My car isn't exactly modded to a high extent but it should come close to those numbers.

I've done my research, and I should be doing 115 in the eight!!!!!

not trying to argue just saying i doubt it, im sure its possible. you have to remember you have an A4 as well, the m6's dyno much better. also just to give you a point of reference, my 98 SS camaro with an m6 which are 315fhp stock, dynoed over 280rwhp with a cutout and lid. had 50k miles at the time and was right in line with what other 98 ss's were getting. dynojet too. now other people were hitting over 300rwhp stock, some even 315-320. so i coulda made the same argument before getting dynoed, yeah my car will do 315rwhp look at this guy who did it stock.

I understand your view but you have to understand my car isn't exactly stock so who knows. Me saying that stock LT1s have dynoed 270-290 was just an example, nothing more. It could do over 280 for all I know. As I said, it's my educated guess. My guess comes from research and other publicized dyno test in magazines and other forums of both my car and it's mods. Until I dyno it, which won't happen for a long time, I will never know. This car runs strong and has ran faster than other applications that it wasn't supposed to.

Also, the A4 in these cars have been tested with the M6 applications and many cars only saw a 2 whp loss. Which also leads me to my guesstimation.

As I said, there is no dyno slip so I'm not sure and can't prove anything. But, I'm not just throwing a ridiculous number out there.

I would stick with a carb too. I also agree it's not worth it to get numbers out of the Crossfire. The newer LT-1 was produced 92-97, first introduced inside the 92 vette.

That's alright, I derailed this thread and have everyone beating on the LT1 guy now.

Maybe they didn't run those numbers, I don't know. I didn't make the videos, those aren't my friends nor my cars. They are just what five minutes of you tube searching came up. Still believable numbers, imo.

People are the opposite towards me. They hear my stupid SLP Loud Mouth 1 Cat Back and assume the worst. My car isn't fast at all. All I'm doing to it until I graduate WMU is Headers and Y-Pipe to make some serious noise. Then I will be at like 850 whp!

That said, if you need my support on the internet, you need a life coach.

Thanks for your compliment, I do appreciate it. You can think and laugh that LT1s can't do 290 whp stock, but I've seen it, in person, on dyno tests.

As for my commentary, most if not all the posts I have seen you write up have been filled with insults and are counter productive. Basically when people see you show up they shudder of the thought of reading what you have to say. I don't understand your approach at all and frankly I don't like it.

I know my car is slow, I was going to run it against a Grand Prix SE remember?

PS
Caps = Serious?

Joker face!

Why so serious?

I've heard some good stories about the crossfire injection. They all say the same thing "if you know how to work on one, they're capable of great things." I was referring to the lt1 with the c4 vette's. It's just not my favorite engine.

I can respect that. I know LT1s aren't the fastest things in the world but they were the starting point to starting the LSx series motors. I enjoy my LT1, the sound is much deeper than that of LSx motors due to (what I think) the steel block.

The C4 I had with the Crossfire was also a fun car to drive. It was fantastic to look at but didn't have the brute force that my current LT1 has. It is capable of amazing things, I was in a Crossfire club for a long time and saw some amazing mechanics get unreal numbers that I thought wasn't possible out of the motor. I just didn't want to spend the enormous amount of time and money it takes to get those numbers. However, I'll never forget my 84 the same way you never forget your first... kiss.

my aunt had a C4. drove it and the car was slow and not what a corvette should feel like. parked it, gave her the keys back, said 'meh', and went on my merry way. my grand prix would have murdered it under all conditions.
