RedraifExtras's 1987 Pontiac FirebirdYOU ASKED
************************************************************************************************************************

To answer some of those questions in the guestbook...
(These are from the week I was Show off of the week!)

Yeah I've been busy I have not gotten around to any others yet!

Yes the engine mods are still a work in progress! In fact this season we are going to be focusing on performance. I'm working on a new daily driver, so it will not be as big of a deal to do some real work to the 3.4! It seems with the 3.4 block I think the bottle neck is in the 2.8 intake. That would explain the low HP #s. I have talked to a few places about extrude honing, but they all say it will cut too much torque, but definately increase the HP #s. So that is why I'm going custom...longer runners = more torque, so I can go larger w/o really loosing anything. With this intake I will get a custom chip, and a better exhaust system. Then I plan to turbo it! No worries it will back up its looks soon! There is alot more potential just waiting to be tapped. (I also have a few other projects that are getting 500ci cadillac motors!)

The wheels are also changing...how about black with a chrome lip...no more FWD look...the rim will be dished!

z28_fire: I don't think they carry a hood for 3rd gen camaros

00slvrstang: 164,000 actually...

dodgeavenger101: 95ltw: cannon007: 134 at the wheels. Car has not been to the 1/4 or dynoed since then. The 1/4 posted...the car was spinning off the line and not shifting past 2nd, unless I got of and got on it again.

mrmaxrebo: Why not

oaodoroioco: posthuman63t: All that $...nope been building myself with a friend...so not alot of money, just time. Now is the $ time...intake, turbo, decent mandrel bent exhaust, computer or very least a chip, roller rockers, valve job... before the past few months there was not even a turbo avail for this car...

mrtaster: above...paint the body kit? Huh? Slp makes nothing for this car with this engine!

x_treem_jeep91: The CarDomain staff! You don't even have any pics up on your site!

nemesis85: lazykris2k4: It so funny how you guys don't even read things over to see the car is a work in progress. Its not like the performance has been ignored, just mods unavailable till recently. Mods that we knew would make a world of difference. (Custom Intake & turbo kit) You guys have to read! The v-6 to v-6...why? Well a daily driver that I have to go to work in is why! How could I do a v-8 swap over the weekend and have it emissions legal! Not possible. Want me to walk to work? 2.8 to 3.4 is a weekend swap! No big deal. The suspension is there the car handles beautifully. Give me a few more monthes to get tht intake and the numbers will be considerabley better!

406er: Constructive!
