I wouldnt fight someone like thacker. He'd probably scratch my eyes, pull my hair and punch me in the balls.

Why don't you guys just run again... Dig and highway
he's got a "cute" little pickup...
no they dont dumbass they come with 1.7's wow king of ls motors huh
He can out launch me and he wont run me on the highway
its true... i didnt catch that... but the 1.8's are a direct bolt in and gain 22 rwhp on an otherwise stock engine. i'll see if i can find teh clip, but it was a shop that did it on a blue '05 gto iirc.no they dont dumbass they come with 1.7's wow king of ls motors huh
btw, you'd never know they were therei almost did those instead of going with a cam, but i think i'm juts gonna hold off and spend teh cash on the cam instead.
you should just save a little more and do it all since you will already have the motor out and apart.its true... i didnt catch that... but the 1.8's are a direct bolt in and gain 22 rwhp on an otherwise stock engine. i'll see if i can find teh clip, but it was a shop that did it on a blue '05 gto iirc.

you really dont wanna do the 1.8 rockers WITH the cam i'm lookin at... then you run into piston/valve clearance. it just becomes a PITA
you can't run 1.8's with most aftermarket cams because of the ramp rate of the cams can break the bigger roller rockers. especially comp xer lobes

gotcha. makes sense.you can't run 1.8's with most aftermarket cams because of the ramp rate of the cams can break the bigger roller rockers. especially comp xer lobes
It happens.no they dont dumbass they come with 1.7's wow king of ls motors huh
I've had LT1's on the brain lately... and well.. I won't explain in detail.
dont forget the valve springs... they dont compress very well beyond that 600 llift. which i really the problem.

patriot dual gold springs are fine to .660 lift comp 918's are only good to .600
yeah didnt really know. i thought with a large like .5XX cam or maybe .600 and then on top of that rockers... would just have to much lift for any valve spring. but i have learned something.

What is a "cam" and what are "rockers"?
Dude how can anyone take you serious with that damn avvy you have
Hahaha the whole time i'm reading this thread I just imagine people in a bathroom stall arguing about there **** size. Do a re run, i will tape it
I say yall do a re-run and a race from a 45 roll. tape both, and be done with this race, Thacker still has to race collins from a roll
T-durr
Im down for that. Im sure he will still get me from a dig seeing as how I haven't launched since we raced, but he's scared to run me from a roll.
With weighing less, and making 40-50 more RWHP you should have been able to chase me down.
You are a fuking idiot. Have you not read any of the other posts? You hooked, I spun, the gap that was made was impossible to make up in less than 982'. You claim that I couldnt have passed you even if I had a mile to do it in though. You know that is horseshiit and thats why you wont run me from a roll.....because you know you will get beat.
Who cares its over... You both have fast cars and you both are annoying. If you want it settled call his ass on his phone or pm him. Stop crying about it here.
yes, the race is over and honestly I am sick of talking about it, but he keeps flip floping what he says. Thats the only reason I even responded...And if I am so annoying, put me on your ignore list...
This is funny as hell. I remember all the domestic guys used to bash imports due to roll racing and now they want to do it. Hell naw LOLOLOLOL
DieselNuts, what does it prove if you beat from a roll? Not a damn thing. You just wanna roll race because your feelings hurt, and you're in shock that you lost to Thacker. Man up and learn your car and beat him at his own race. With your car, you should be able to beat him with some practice. This situation is like losing a wrestling match to someone, then trying to save face by beating that person in basketball LOL.
I would never do that to you!yes, the race is over and honestly I am sick of talking about it, but he keeps flip floping what he says. Thats the only reason I even responded...And if I am so annoying, put me on your ignore list...lol But if you want to race... I'll race you from a roll in my s2k
Racing from a roll is easier on you diff. Especially in my s2k which werent built with strong diffs... I hate going from a dig.
One, I've never bashed racing from a roll. Two, it will prove something, that my car is faster. He proved that he can out launch me, but his car isnt faster. I see what you are saying, but its more like losing a wrestling match, then beating them in arm wrestling. Its not a completely different game that I am asking him to play. Your comment would be legit if I told him to take it to Road Atl...
x2. If you guys didnt know, a Cobra's rear diff. is basicly made of glass...
if thats the case how do ls7 engines run big aftermarket cams with no problem? i think the greater issue is piston/valve clearance. the only rockers i've really heard of breaking are the harland sharps, and even those were teh factory ratio 1.7:1... now valve springs... i've seen a few. mainly that batch comp 918's.you can't run 1.8's with most aftermarket cams because of the ramp rate of the cams can break the bigger roller rockers. especially comp xer lobes
and hey sus, stock valve springs are good to about .575 lift and thats right about where the 1.8:1 rockers put it, so there's really no need for new springs unless you're doing a baby cam along with it.
comp xer lobes are very harsh on valve springs because they open and close the valve much faster than normal lobes. take a xer lobed cam the advertised duration is say 284 intake 286 exhaust the @.50 duration will be 235 intake 237 exhaust. use the same advertised specs on a regular lobed cam the @.50 duration would be 232 intake 234 exhaust. the reasoning is the xer lobes open the valve quicker than regular lobes and this combined with 1.8 rockers is a no-no
stock ls2 and ls6 springs are no good beyond .550not even worth the risk
is it .550? damn i thought it was .575... oh well, glad i wasnt planning on keeping them much longer
Im getting sleepy.
