Decision made-I want V8 power but stay in the Z world

andre12031948

Loved my Z, & had good luck with it. Even with slicks & hard launches at the track, I had no breakage of rear/axles/driveshaft. A wonderful, fun car. I want the same experience but with some more power. No wild build for me. It have chosen a corvette engine with a bit warmer G.M. cam. Everything new & warrantied A solid 4spd auto trans from a top trans. builder. 3 gears for the track, overdrive for the ride home I'm leaving my 3:90 gears as well as everything Z stock Headers/custom exhaust, with a bit of input by me + a tune of course. That should give me 450+ whp. Perfect for my 11.50 sec. bracket racing. I don't need to be the fastest LS-Z. Quicker than a Corvette Z06, with the classic good looks of a Z......

Hope to see some Z's at the track this spring. Better chance seeing Santa near my chimney

You're doing an engine swap? Would it no be cheaper just to go supercharged or TT?

My car got flooded. Cost would be a bit less but.

With a brand new V8 & in N/A condition, with an auto trans, running 11.5 1/4 mile, without pushing the engine with tubos/nitro/supercharger, then driving home in one piece, plus the cool factor of driving on the street, with the toughest sounding rummble around, & not having the B.S. problems that tt/supercharging/nitros brings every third weekend, is worth it to me

In for journal of progress and sound video clips! Good luck with the build!

Thank you very much.

As for all the other staff, I'm not into that. I'm not going to spend a month & 100 posts talking about every little nothing. I'll build it, I'll race it, & blow doors off at the track.

Red__Zed

but you'll start several threads announcing you are going to build it?

andre12031948

True, but at least I don't live here like you do. Don't you own a Mustang?

Red__Zed

If ford paid you as much as they pay me to be here, I bet you'd be here all the time too


No need to get snippy. Just saying, if you're going to post your plans repeatedly, show us some love with a build thread. It is good for the forum, and years later you'll be glad you documented it.

Why would one get banned for voicing their opinion? I'd be long gone if subscribing to the results of the hivemind was the only way to stay. This forum is great because they tolerate the open minds

KingZee

bro seriously though, if you're not gonna "spend a month & 100 posts talking about every little 'nothing'" why talk about it at all? Doesn't make sense. If you're gonna do it and blow the doors off at the track and not talk about it then do it and blow the door off at the track and don't talk about it.
