Last winter I started converting my car from the 3800 supercharged to turbo E85, I finally got it done last Monday and did some testing and tuning during the week and hit the drag strip Friday and Saturday. The car did really well and I ended up running a personal best of 12.62 @115 mph in the quarter mile. The car is running an all stock bottom end, stock cam, stock heads and gaskets and bolts, m90 blower housing blocked off, #60 siemens deka injectors, ebay turbo non intercooled, E98 mixed with 93 octane race gas, stock 4t65ehd, and the same 225/50/16 westlake zuperace tires as before, same track as my first posts, and it was 30 degrees celsius outside with no wind. I was rather happy with the consistence of the car and I ended up getting second in the sportsman class (I broke out of my dial in but it was my fastest pass yet so its hard to be mad at that!)
Spent cam bearings, lifters loud as hell, maybe some valve float, First 1/4 mile pass ever, 12.749 at 109 MPH. second pass was a slower ET, but faster MPH. there's more in it.
according to the list, It looks like I have the fastest pushrod 60v6 Fiero now.

I invited Lou Dias to trash me in my own thread, he refused. sorry. if he trashes your thread going after me. I tried.

ericjon262, I updated the list with the timeslip having the lower ET.
I guess that the weather finally permitted!
it did, and I was off work too! Hopefully next time it'll be 11.50's!

Its about the same as stock, 2725ish without me in it on multiple scales.

6-3-1?
No, they are not true 180 I suppose as they just stay even and odd. I call them "180" because they loop all over the engine bay, with 180 degree turns off the heads.

The collectors are still even fire, which is what 180 means on a V8.
There was a thread on here a while back about 6-2 headers vs 6-3 headers on a V6, but I didn't remember if that was you or not or if the OP of that thread ever built the 6-3's.
looks like the ever hated Shaun bested me for fastest Pushrod 60V6, I need to get my fuel system back together and see if I can reclaim my throne!
he's running a Turbo 3900 with a VVT delete, Miicrosquirt, and a getrag 5 speed.

Updated!
All you have to do to get back on the throne is to redefine the throne.

Make it fastest 3.5 L Pushrod 60V6.
Lol!, yeah, I'll just get the fuel system done and give it another go! I think the car has low 11's in it's future.

Hey all, I ran a new personal best of 11.54 this weekend with the car! Thats as fast as I plan to run the car cosindering I don't have a roll bar and don't really have room to fit one. I'm very pleased with the car and im glad to have reached my goal after 4 years of work. The DA for this pass was 4000. The second day of racing I also won my first sportman bracket race! It was an amazing weekend to say the least! (85 GT, L67 stock block/heads/cam/rockers/springs/throttle body/rotating assembly/series 3 aluminum upper, 60lb injectors, ebay turbo pushing 20psi , e85, non intercooled, stock 4t65e-hd, 16" cavalier wheels with 225/50/16 firehawk tires)
@LFiero67 & @Frenchrafe , I wish i had more information on the turbo myself, it originally came from an ebay kit a friend bought for his 3800 camaro that didn't end up happening and i bought all the parts, i will link the ebay listing to the closest kit currently available ( it looks like the same one to me and the specs are listed in the ad description).
@pmbrunelle , Yes there are a number of factors that would contribute to the MPH and ET changes, mainly on this pass it blew a charge pipe coupler off right at the top of the run so it would most likely have been closer to 120 mph ( in other passes this is the fastest mph i have achieved). The overall change in the ET thought is attributed to things i have changed such as going from a gutted blower housing to a series 3 aluminum upper intake, improved charge piping to increase MAF flow, higher boost pressure overall, and tuning ( i finally have the tuning dialed in versus in the past it was a half ass tune that i was still working on and learning about). I also changed to AR103 plugs and im running 16 degree of timing now. The series 3 upper intake change made a big diffrence for me on the 60' and 1/8 times as well as the turbo spool up time. I also removed the majority of the interior in 2023 so that helped. I weighed the car after the weight reduction at work one day last year, with a full tank of fuel, all my race gear, and me in the car it weighs 2875lbs.
