Who would probably win between a 1995 Trans Am and a 2001 Dodge Dakota R/T? Both stock. I know the Trans Am has about 25 more hp, but the dakota has about 50 more torque, but the Dakota is about 500 more lbs heavier.

The trans-am,hands down, but it is true they may seem quicker and they are,but there not as fast as you would think i raced one while moving and also at a redlight and he jumped me pretty good out of the hole cause i couldn't hookup but while moving it was prolly about a car lenght at about the quarter mile.Oh yea,and my dakota is a 2001 4.7 cc but i do beat my cousin's 2002 r/t.

Would be depending on things.

My friend could not get below 15's with his 1997-ish Z28 Lt1.

I think traction was a problem.


He bought it used last year. Had sh*tty oil pressure and spun a bearing a few weeks after he raced it a few times.


Just today I was over helping get that bast@rd back into his car.

You have to mount the engine to the front suspension, push it under the car, then hoist it into position!

It actually went together easier than I thought!


We got it in the car and started after a few hours. No accessories hooked up though. Just the engine in place open headers and enough wires hooked up so he could hear it come to life and get a stiffy!

Took a few pics with the camera phone today.







It should be a lot quicker now. It's a 383 stroker with close to 11 : 1 compression and will get nitrous too.



I need to get more done on my Duster. Looks liek I will be LUCKY if it gets done by the end of the year :( But we'll be racing this Z28 by the end of the week if all goes well.

Since I was involved in this CHEBBY car project a litttle bit and hosted a video of his, here's the test run of the engine with it first connected enough to start ---> http://www.paysonarizona.net/Home%20Videos/Frank/Frank_Z28_FirstStart.rm

That is in Real Player format. Only 700k file.

Started open headers and just ran for a few seconds. Got to love how fuel injected stuff starts so easy on new build ups vs. the old carbed and distibutor types of the old.

Yeah, the skateboard was funny but worked liek a charm. He said it was a $30 Wal-Mart board!



Did you check out the video if it starting up?

I really want to move forward with my car. But I'm stuck for the moment and just found out I OWE taxes rather than am getting any back!
