There you go, a 383 stroker with nitrous and an auto runs 11.5 @ 120mph.
How did a TPI run the same times as Troy's highly modified 383 on nitrous?

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?

The year 2004. The car, Fiero GT. The motor, 383 small block with Edlebrock intake and carb, headers. Probably well over 400 hp. The Transmission lasted only a few runs. Fast forward to 2006, different motor, TPI intake. The timeslip is true.

It's real easy to buy your way out of a challenge when you know you've got more liquid assets than most people here.
If everyone really wants to put this debate to bed (rather than continue this particular pissing contest), why not make it $250 and a public acknowledgment of the other guy's engine's superiority?

I've pretty much had it with this crap. Shaunbag took unauthorized video of me (and others) at the dyno last year and put it on the web without my permission. Since that time, he has harassed me with unsolicited personal emails that I have found offensive. I doubt that most of us do SBC Fieros (or any other engine swap) to go drag racing, I know I didn't. Mine is set up for RFTH and just having a car thats reliable and fun to drive around town. I for one did absolutely nothing to prep/tune my car for the dyno last year and I did absolutely nothing to dial it in while there. I do have NOS up to 150hp, it is fully functional, I have used it, and won't do it again without a subframe and a roll cage installed. What Shaun has done this past year is invade my privacy - it's like he broke into my home or keyed my car - I think he' s a very sick individual. I consider him a personal threat. I have owned an 88 stock 2.8L Fiero GT, 88 3800 Series II Fiero GT, a 4.9L 88 Fiero GT, and my current 87 SBC Fiero GT. I have helped build and I have driven 3800 SC Fieros. I loved every single one of them and did not go quarter mile racing with any of them. My personal favorite is the SBC because of a) the sound b) all the available aftermarket stuff for it, c) the wild ride from 0-60 when I dump the clutch, and d) the reaction it gets from other car guys when they see the engine or hear it run. My seat of the pants meter tells me the SC and the SBC were the quickest with the SC probably quicker in the mid range and the SBC with more power up top. Again, I think the SC and the SBC have the edge with the 4.9 right on their tail for 0-60 runs. Relatively speaking my 4.9 didn't have the power of those two, but it was certainly quicker than a 5.0 Mustang and definitely great around town, however my 4.9 was shifted by a 4T60 and probably not as quick as a 5 spd version. All that said, what is the all the macho saber rattling BS about quarter mile times anyway? How many of us grownups really care? There are numerous different SBCs wiith hp ratings that go from near 200hp to near 600 hp. What you have is a function of $ and time. There are also lots of options with the 3.8 (circa the Buick Grand National). I have to believe most of us that own Fieros are car guys and for the most part, level-headed normal adults. So its fun to talk about cars and maybe even go to the track to prove a point. But, and this is a big but (no pun intended), this Shaunbag business has gone too far. Its not friendly, its not nice, IMHO Shaunbag is jealous of other Fiero people, deceitful, he twists the truth, and he's is a troll who probably gets his rocks off when these threads get going on any forum or web page and even more so when they turn nasty and people start getting upset - thats the kind of guy I think he is. However, I will have to disagree with Archie here and say that Shaunbag will not destroy the Daytona show because we won't let a creep like him have a negative impact on what we do or how we do it - and we have nothing we need to prove other than who's the Go-Kart King or Queen. Shaunbag's and his friends' issues are too petty to cause us to stop having fun with good Fiero people or to engage in anything as stupid as street racing. Hope to see lots of you (with one exception) at Daytona next week.

I have the cradle,f40 6 speed trans and the long block is at the machine shop getting done.
it will not be quite this radical but I am shooting for 1000 hp twin turbo Ls6
the motor is being built by the same company as my friends corvette.
the f40 trans has been taken apart and redone with cryo hardened parts and much more.
it will be done by the end of the year.
I will keep you posted and also provide a dyno sheet and 1/4 m. time

because there are no other variables. every car, track, transmission, driver, weather, tire and everything else is identical, except for the motor......
anyways - open invite for the 25th at Milan Dragway - wednesday, july 23, gates open @ 4pm, come show us how its supposed to be done. several V8's of SBC & 4.9 variety will be there for you to dominate upon. I will be there with my lowly 60dV6. if we are lucky, there will be some 3800SC & 3.4TDC Turbo's.

So the slip is from when you had a 383 with a carb? 400hp seems reasonable if the motor is built right. A 383 TPI won't have the intake capacity to run as fast in the 1/4, but would be nicer to drive. With the 60' you were pulling I have no doubt the transmission didn't last long. That is a hard launch.

I hope this is a joke, cause there is no transverse Transmission that will stand up to that.
