I can't go to Daytona this year because of my wifes' health. But, I'll tell you, the BS that your buddy Shaunbag is into is going to destroy that show if you don't get him under control soon.

You keep carrying his torch & you'll see.

I know you are an Archie nutswinger, and you will stick up for anyone with an Archie swap but I will question anyone with a wild time slip. Getting a TPI into the low 11s and at 120mph is magical, almost too hard to believe. But he has a sbc V-8, who am I to question him right Archie?

I didn't even see what Shaun was refering to, but after seeing the time slip and going to his website to see a TPI SBC I am a bit amazed. A TPI is the 4.9 of the SBC world. Lots of torque but fall on their face at high rpm. Nittous is the only way I can see that time slip being legit.

Remember v8fiero400? Exactly. Made up time slip that was proven to be false. Hopefully I get proved wrong and its not just another bench racer with someone elses time slip.

See this is funny, now your lying. You came here & questioned that time slip as a direct result of Shaunbags recommendation that you do so.

You should go back & read this thread...... No place in typhoon's post does it say that his car was TPI when it was run. And no place does he send you to his web site to view the car. SHAUNBAG said all of that on RFT just before you posted over here on the subject.

I know that guy & I know the car. I didn't put it together, it was assembled by a previous owner. But in 2006 I did help put that injection system on it.

But here you are, just like Shaunbag, putting the hate on the guy without realizing that in 4 years the configuration could change.

Kind of funny how many times in the last year you've posted a similar type of post over here right after your girl friend suggested it on RFT.

Let's see how do you say Ow3n'd?

let's see if i understand this process.

plan A. demand to see timeslips, then say theyre fabricated.
plan B. demand a race for titles or cash, then beg off
cant wait to see plan C.

On the trip down a few flaws on the engine were exposed. One, it didn't make as much power as I had asked this guy to build to so the big BG racing carb that I had bought for it turned out to be way too much carb. & fouled the plugs. Two, the roller rockers he used were used & the Locks on them kept coming loose.



Couple things, and maybe I'll even earn a few negatives for it. Oh well. For one, far too many, typically ricers, do not understand the first thing about carbs.... including the fact that, even if a carb'd car was perfectly tuned, it is pretty much tuned for THAT elevation and temperature... it will not perform the same over a thousand miles away, far to the south, and at a lower elevation, and the differences become more pronounced with higher horsepower and performance thrown in. That is why the CCC carbs came around in the 80s, that and emissions, to build a computer into the system and the adjustment screws were sealed at the factory... the computer could, to a degree, make up for the differences although cars sold for higher elevations were not unknown to get regional tuning. Alot of younger drivers never owned/drove a carbeurated car, and certainly not one without computerized controls.

Which is not to mention winding up with a carb of too many CFM to boot... no wonder the exhaust gases were rich, fouling plugs, not burning fuel completely, and failing to make as much power as otherwise would be the case...

And second, normally, I wouldn't even post in a thread like this on a board anyways.... but, that said, where I come from if someone calls bull on a timeslip there's ONLY one way to settle it.... head to the track, and make a gentleman's wager on it to make it worthwhile. If someone wants to challange a slip, they make it worth the other party's while to go to the track.

Otherwise, IMO, all the benchracing online is about as effective as sitting at home with a laptop and vaseline instead of meeting real girls at the bar saturday night... Kind of like most of the "hotties looking to chat" are creepy old men, the internet benchracer is usually the guy with a tree growing through the hood of an old Aspen parked in the yard which hasnt ran since the disco era.

The problem is they only have a single timeslip of an SBC going mid 13's. The run was done by a person who's run was his first time running down the 1/4 mile. When you ran down the 1/4 mile your first time ever, how well did you do? Was your launch perfect? did you shift at the best shift point?

There are a few who have run in the 12's and a couple in the 11's and we have posted our timeslips. It's just somehow Shaunna seems's to ignore these.

Besides Shaunna even admits he posts things just to be a "donkey". He posted that "BMWguru's car dynoed 200rwhp", (that is how he even titled the thread.) then when Shaunna was called out for proof, He admitted it was made up and tried to pass it off as "His guess".

Turbo 3.4... but close. Go on RFT, dyno charts aren't hard to find on his car. It was like 230-250hp IIRC, supposidly this spring he will be back with more.



His dyno he posted showed 210 rwhp. Pretty sad for a 3.4L turbo with nitrous considering a normally aspirated 3.4L can and has gotten 200 rwhp. He then proceeded to blow that engine and now he is running another 3.4L turbo that magically is beating 400+ horsepower Mustangs. The problem is his "kill stories" on RFT don't seem to match reality. As an example he claimed to beat a 460 rwhp Mustang. The video he posted up on one of the video website (youtube or streetfire, Can't remember which one) had a comment by the Mustang driver that his car was't running right and the nitrous bottle was empty.
He said last month he was going to the dyno in a couple of weeks and yet hasn't. (or he did but is afraid to post the results) He stated before he was having too much fun doing his "rolling races" to go to the track and actually run it. He has already backed out of at least two races on a track against a V-8 powered Fiero. Then he claims he'll race any V-8 in a "rolling race" on the highway. He will most likely go to the Daytona show only to harass others as he has done in previous years.
The more he posts, the more pathetic he looks. Originally I use to think he did it for the laughs, Now it seems he just has a mental defect. He should seek professional help before it's too late.

You have to be a miracle worker to get a TPI sbc to run 120mph in the 1/4.




If his setup has changed then geat. Thats why I asked what he is running. According to his website it looks like a TPI.

Try looking at his profile, his webpage is RIGHT THERE. Not like I had to go looking for it. On his page is a stock looking TPI. And by ctock looking I mean the intake runners are from a stock TPI. Fairly impossible to support a 120mph low 11 second car.

I like fast cars regardless of what engine is used.

Low 11s and 120mph is a seriously fast car, and with that 60' it looks like drag radials. What transmission is being used?

JUST A SUGGESTION:
I think if there were to be a race once and for all. It should be at the 25th anniversary. NO Money, No Ttitles, just 400 plus fiero owners viewing it. I think that would end it and with no excusses.

at the 20th, there was a dragstrip day.
we are planning a "unofficial" dragstrip day also, for the wednesday, and there will be V8's present - both SBC & 4.9
come get some.

the fastest Fiero at the 20th was of course the mighty Don Krause & his Ferrari rebody w/3800SC. and only ONE SBC Fiero ran - and ran very poorly - was carbed & way off tune - high 14.

this is how it always is.
someone is good at what they do and another person wants it for themself and does everything they can to
tear them down. sometimes it works but most of the time it just makes the person look like a petty a$$.

I'll take all of you in my tired, old, 104,000 mile, Iron Duke!! Yeah what do you guys think about that?? Scared? I thought so.

The preceeding was a joke. This was in no way a real legit challenge to anyone. .

Archie I love what you do.
