The guy i ran had to hear my mr2 b4 we raced and did not pay attention to any of the warning signs (BOV, Loud Exhaust) HAHA!
Another bit of info for you guys....
You can hate to loose..... but dont hate the looser! I gave the guy i raced a thumbs up after for trying and he beeped his "General Lee" horn back at me.... it was funny!
^^^Im happy to hear that you were able to prove a point to the 350z, Great job!!!
I have a theory on this kind of stuff.....
The can of whoop a$$ you had for lunch that day was bigger than the can of whoop a$$ the other guy ate. On any given day some other guy might have been hungrier than you were at lunch time so dont fall for the same trick you pulled on him.

It's really a sad thing the All Mighty Monte Carlo is such a weak car nowadays... Plus it didn't come with a standard transmission. I was THIS close on getting an Intimidator version Monte Carlo SS but dropped it cuz it's a freaking automatic..... :\ argh...

They need to follow Pontiac and Holden with their GTO/Monaro and beef up the Monte Carlo like the beast that we all know back in the days.

For whoever said it:

The F-Body (Camaro/Firebird line) got the TPI 305 in 1986 with the TPI 350 following in 87. Check your facts. I know because my primary vehicular interest lies with the GM F-Body. I've owned a total of 5 ranging from 84 to 99.

The GN has a VERY large underground following in the domestic world now, and yes, they were 3.8L V6 with a turbo on them.

For the people fighting about the 305, um yeah the 305 can be a beast


^^^This car can take...

^^^this car, and this one runs mid 8's in the 1/8th.

As for a Monte Carlo, if it had a carbed 305 and was basically stock then yeah I would slap anyone with even a stock 5SFE MR2 or Celica that couldn't take one, in fact I would lay money on a 7AFE car if it's a '70's Monte.

You're off by one year Fastbird. The Camaro Z28 got TPI in 1985. I had an '85 Z28 back in the late 80's and drag raced that car every weekend for two summers. I poured every dollar I made into that car and barely broke into the 14's with it. Needless to say, I didn't make much money back then so I didn't do any major mods. Mostly bolt on stuff. It wasn't a fast car at all, but I had a blast racing every week!

Dave, which exhaust are you running on the mr2?

>

I'll take your word there. I couldn't remember whether it was 85 or 86 that the TPI 305 came out. Dang it.

You dont have to tell the mods... but how about some pics dave?

my first car was a 82 camaro with 305 and cross-fire injection. for those who dont know that was two throttle bodies sitting across from each other . probably y they called it cross-fire. but the point of the story is i had that car and my friend had a celica the same one i own 2day we allways raced in the park by our house and i always took him. he used to say he was missing shifts but after owning them both i know the camaro is still faster.

I have never posted pics in the forum b4...i actually dont know how to do it??? or i could show you some pics.
I run a DG Performance 3" race setup on the mr2 also!!
DG

first you gotta upload ur pics to a place like Photobucket.
after that instead of using "fast reply" do "add reply" and there are little icons at the top of the typing area, the picture one sets you up real nicely to put em up
