Nice run Kevin!

my SS3600 drives pretty good. Didn't you drive it b4 alex? and even if your "dead hooking" there is still lots to be gained in a 60ft. suspension and weight can lower a 60ft even if ur already dead hooking. i have ran a best of 1.67 60ft and i want to be in the 1.5x range.

I'm not big on weight reduction, I know it helps a ton but most of the stuff in the car is stuff I want there. It's only 3,450 so not a pig for an F Body. And yeah you car felt great just driving normally but I didn't really get on it. I just don't know if it would make more sense for me and what I do with the car to get a converter or just go M6.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-18-2012 01:09 AM

Converter. Wayyyy cheaper. And it won't slow the car down. And if tuned right the a4 will be just as much fun if not more fun then m6. Kinda wish I went a4.....

Formula413 09-18-2012 01:43 AM

Why would a stick slow the car down? More power to the ground. And can I really trust my stock 98,000 mile 4L60E behind a higher stall converter?

Ummm unless it's a full drag car m6 is better in everyway. I get bored with Meg's car mine is fun to play with

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-18-2012 02:41 AM

I hate driving my car sometimes. Stupid cam. Auto would be so much nicer. Be able to just cruise. And traffic wouldn't suckkkkkkkk. M6's have there down fall. And alex if you go stick I bet you lose .3 in the quarter. And gain maybe 2 mph. And if you stalled it and it was tuned right the stall will have no ill effect on the trannies condition. For the most part. And stall will pick up a few tenth if not more. If you care? If non if that matters and you just want fun then swap m6. I might even work a trade........

Formula413 09-18-2012 02:44 AM

Yeah I really don't care about 1/4 mile times I care about a fun driving experience, which is why I feel like an M6 makes more sense. Especially on my car, basically all stock so no cam surge, and no need for a leg buster clutch.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 09-18-2012 02:45 AM

Trade????? Haha

Formula413 09-18-2012 02:49 AM

What kind of shape is yours in? What clutch? You doing the swap?

CamaroRacing12 09-18-2012 03:23 AM

yeah for u alex i think an M6 swap would be best. You love the twisties.

smokinss 09-18-2012 09:48 AM

Manual valve body th350 with a 4200 stall= even more fun. Clutch less full throttle shifts lol

^This exactly. I have some suspension geometry to calibrate. I have saggy rear springs for one so its squatting too much. I also want LCA's and a torque arm relocation bracket. I have all the rest of the suspension goodies.

I drive this car daily, and thank god its auto because I would go insane. Driving the M-21 Corvette is way more fun to me, but after a while it gets really tiring and shitty. Then when the Saturn is on the road I'm so sick of driving 5 speed in traffic I cant wait for my auto weee. Stall is coming up next for me, but no more mods for a while. First things come first.

Manual valve body TH400 4500 stall.. So much fun. Got to love those 3 speeds

Congrats Kev. Still faster than my heap lol

KLAB 09-23-2012 10:27 PM

I might do cam and stall or I might save my money and be happy with it till im outta school and do my desired LSx / T56 swap. I been bouncing around on weather to keep this car or not maybe sell it and get another one some day but I'm keeping this, I can always make it into what I want haha. I'll be happy going 12s and looking sexy.

941LE 09-24-2012 12:50 AM

Funny out of all the cars I've owned and not one clutch has been replaced. Wasn't till this year that I've owned a auto.
