14.3 quarter mile @97.3 mph 5psi stock everything else

jedwards242000 · **14.3 quarter mile @97.3 mph 5psi stock everything else**

well i got the 5 psi procharger kit installed and a 5speed tranny i got a best time 14.34 at 97.3 mph 2.119 60 foot time a week or so earlier i got a 14.39 with a 2.019 60 foot time so with some work i think i could get another 10th of a second off of my time which i dont think is too bad with 5 psi and everything else stock, tell me what you guys think ?

Sweet good deal thats not bad at all

WhiteStang99 · 04-05-2005, 12:05 AM

yeah, that's definitely not bad.

Has the small amount of boost you have made you want more? haha.

nice run, you need to up the boost now!

You are fairly close to me. I ran a 14.29 this past Friday in my n/a automatic.

jedwards242000 · 04-05-2005, 11:53 PM

yea i'm going to the 9psi kit, 3.73 rear gears, clutch, probly upgrade to dual exhaust. probly in that order

red herring · 04-06-2005, 12:44 AM

exhaust usually doesn't do much but when you're boosing it can definitely make a difference.

jedwards242000 · 04-06-2005, 01:10 PM

thats why i put the exhaust near the end of my next mods list

RGR · 04-06-2005, 02:12 PM

Good run, but I think there is lots more in the combo as it stands.
Easy high 13 in there man! Your MPH indicates a mid 13 but it will
be pretty hard to get that, drive it like you stole it

Good future mods list, all of those will help, but I'd hold off on gears
as the greater torque might just get wild tire spin with 3.73's. Make
it harder to drive very likely...

**SpectorV** · 04-06-2005, 03:49 PM

not to bad, up the boost

**Brent** · 04-06-2005, 04:17 PM

Your gonna want forged internals... 3.73 gears and more boost aren't stock rods best friends

jedwards242000 · 04-07-2005, 12:33 PM

well i was told the 3.8l can handle 11psi on stock internals, and i'm only going to 9 psi. anybodies input on the internals i would be glad to hear now that i'm getting conflicting ideas about the stock internals ?

RGR · 04-08-2005, 08:01 AM

The ATI kit is set up for 11# w/IC on a stock longblock.
It should be safe. Any more than that I'd upgrade for sure.

9# should be fine IMO.

timpryor · 04-08-2005, 08:20 AM

buy an intercooler

jedwards242000 · 04-08-2005, 09:52 PM

my set up came with an intercooler its a front mount stage 2 intercooler that came with my kit from procharger, i was only going to go up to 9psi, i drive it daily and 11psi i might be tempted too much to push it daily and i dont have any money for the rpm 4.2l shortblock with forged internals. i wouldnt just swap out for another stock v6 just doesnt make sense. so for now i'll stick with 9psi

Rob and I are going to offer some nice upgraded bottom end assemblies,
it's as easy as doing a stock rebuild to get a stout 4.2. especially if you
use a second blosk and build it all then swap.

The ATI is designed for stock engines, to be really safe with 11# too!
But you will be happy with 9# I can assure you. I'd get a cam too

in my opinion, id make sure you got a good tune to match the 9 or 11 lbs of boost, a good tune can save you alota money down the road by preventing detonation, running to rich/lean etc.
