That's the way I am. I don't care if I win or lose just as long as the other guy is pretty cool. Hell, I roll with a stock 01 Z28, a worked 00 Z28, an 07 Busa, and an 07 (I believe) 636, so I am the slowest as of now as well. Actually, I think it may be a pretty close run between me and the 01 Z28, and I have a little something for the 00 when he's spinning.

I spun a bearing, rod bolts are weak, i stretched them over time...high RPM usage, several thousand rev limiter hits, etc. These motors like to do that aroun 100k miles when they are driven like i do.

BTW i bought the cam used with 4k miles on it for $225. My valve springs were more expensive LOL. This cam now has over 30k on it, this is my 2nd one. First one was a small one...
huh i guess i'm just used to very agressive cams on the ecotecs that make them idle at 1500 or so thx for the specs though... you definately learn something new everyday.. lol i don't know as much about the "muscle cars" as I used to ... old school (60s-80s at latest) stangs, camaros, vettes and gtos' as such used to be my focus ( i would still kill for a stingray or old school GTO... ( speaking of which there's an old GTO about 15 mins away from me for sale haha) .. however now since i have an ecotec my brain only thinks in those formats... lol thanks for giving me a reminder / wake up of the old days..

just usually with your setup i wouldn't expect a blown motor unless you're riding it really hard often.. but if the previous owner was juiced and modded i can see how it would deteriorate things....

all i ask is don't be a troll... i've reported more trolls lately...

post some vids of your car running.. have fun modding it.. my ex would love having a ss camaro lol not my cup of tea (less it was an old ass camaro, then i would be all over it) but to each their own, but i can appreciated it for sure, do yourself a favor and introduce yourself as well as posting pics and such... that way you might get better welcome

Didn't mean a ported kb...just ported stock blower, and kenne bell/whipple cobra's...those always will beat me lol. Simple pullied cobras are always a good race.

Here's a shitty clip of my car. Traction wasnt very good

oh you totally let me down there... KB bra's run quick.. i don't remember what exactly.. but there was a KB procharger / stock "shootout" on some article and damn the swaps were fast LOL..i could see how a pullied bra could be a race depending on the pullied and tune but nice vid man.. you actually could be welcomed to the board if you dont' turn into a troll

Nah, he's no troll. He came on here the right way. If you read his first couple posts, you will see that he came to find out some info and not start trouble.

Hopefully a small shot of nitrous will put me up with those kb cobra's
I don't think i'll turn into a troll...lol. I've been known to talk a little ****, but to people i know, and in a joking manor

I wouldn't mind finding a few races...i have been beaten by a few 4 cylinder...most recent was a SRT-4, cams, 75 shot, 21psi boost...good running car, he put a good 1-2 cars on me 60-120.

Them SRT's can be pretty sick, but comin from a GM guy...Still a Neon in my eyes.

There are a couple builds goin on for the Cobalts, once these builds come to complete fruition, I think we will be a much better competitor. Being FWD makes things really tough on us with 60's times and the hole shot in general

I think 2 of my friends will come out...both Supercharged 2v Mustang GT's. One has a Whipple on 8 lbs..the other is a Kenne Belle car with a few more lbs. It runs pretty strong. I will have my camera, as well as them...

I'm guesing another power adder then... Oh well, won't be the first time i have been beat by a 4 cyl. front wheel drive car.

I wish i had the money for a bottle...i think a 200 shot would wake my car up.
