Har Har!, Mr. SoftWood and SalivaV8...Steve Wood:
Yeah, Salvage, you tell him! The fact that stock short blocks and heads have run into the tens is immaterial! Let's build us a sbc with a big cam that takes a 4000 rpm converter to roll away from the stop light!
Oh, well, it will give us a year's worth of posting about "why my car runs 12s" to laugh about!![]()

"Dare to be Different" will look good on the doors...Maybe Turbo Tim will sponsor you! dunno
MHM,mOtOrHeAd MiKe:
Personally, I am by-passing the "turbo first" mentality and getting heads & a cam.
First you have engine problems if a Sonata put it on you.teamgn87:
Hes right about the motor itself sucking.My crossover pipe opened up one day,and on the drive home I had zero boost.Got my a$$ handed to me by a Hundai Sonata.We left the light together and he just drove away.Without that turbo its just another v6 regal.If you make the motor more efficient then you wont need as much boost to go fast. wink
Hey Steve,Steve Wood
The power will be greater at higher rpms but, we are using an automatic tranny, remember? You are not going to be snatching lower gears to make up for your lack of torque on the AutoX or road course.

Has someone found a five speed that can be adapted to the car and has decent torque capability?TWIN86GNS:

Not trying to speak for MotorHead Mike, but I believe that he is planning on running a 5 speed manual transmission in this car. There was some discussion on this late last year.[/QB]
