1997 3.1

That shouldnt be hard to get in the 14's
Put some split fire plugs in it, 2 msd stickers, 1 Moroso sticker,And some 108 Octane booster and your set. Oh and a coffee can for a muffler.alute:

[Meatwad]

ohh and im running stock plugs. with 79792 miles on em

[FreeRideFrosty]

Then there is NO WAY in hell you are running mid 14's.

[Meatwad]

maybe high 15's low 16's.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Thats a little more like it.

[FreeRideFrosty]

For those of you who don't know.... Rich, the host from pinks, dumped his bike at a filming of pinks. Two of Chitown Racing's finest taking a jab at him from the stands....

[Meatwad]

did anybody crash?

[FreeRideFrosty]

No crashes. One guy crossed into the other lane (big wheelie and came down a little crooked) but he was running solo because they knew it could happen. I think only one blown motor and a lost hood besides that. It was a great night for racing.

[Meatwad]

what kind of car. I seen one episode where a fox body pulled a wheelie for about 100 feet

[cheesecake]

sounds like it was a fun time. wish i could have went. oh well i need to get my girls car into the 13's. i know thats not fast but its fast enough for me

[FreeRideFrosty]

I will try to get pics up later. There was a jet dragster and just some really nice cars that the opportunity of TV appearance brought out.

my bad dan i was thinkin of the grand prix lol

[FreeRideFrosty]

my bad dan i was thinkin of the grand prix lol

Haha. It's all good. A guy actually had a Grand Prix that he had switched from Supercharged to Turbocharged..... He was running 12's I believe. Not bad for a GP. Haha

Now I'm no car expert and not sure on the newest styles yet but I know for a fact that the 2000, 01, 02, 03 gtp's are runnin 13's off the showroom floor.

:confused: Really?? How do you know for a fact?? I beat them by car lenghts. I can run the new ones heads up and its a mater of reaction times at the finish line. So, since I am running a mid-high 14 so are the brand new ones. The previous model had to be running at least a 15 second 1/4. I was beating them when I was stock. My buddy has an 01 with some work done to it and he is just breaking into the 13's.

a supercharged GP is pretty fast IMO

[FreeRideFrosty]

a supercharged GP is pretty fast IMO

Yeah. They are quick cars and fun to drive. (They feel faster than they are because of the low-end torque from the supercharger.) They are not doing 13's from the factory though.....

[cheesecake]

the new ones are mid 14,s and the older ones were a high 14. they raised the compression in the newer ones thats really the only diffrence

[hansarvin]

the new ones are very quick considering their roots as a boat. lol I'm a huge pontiac fan. Always have been always will be. I road in a 07 GP and the thing threw me back in the seat (with a supercharger though)

[FreeRideFrosty]

the new ones are mid 14,s and the older ones were a high 14. they raised the compression in the newer ones thats really the only diffrence

In ideal situations. The guy I ran in a new one ran a 14.8 or 14.9 I think....

[Meatwad]

dan i garandamtee that i can keep up with you. rocco's snake beat me BAAAD.

[Ponch]

Serious Q-
The speedo goes 100....what happens when the needle goes past that, hits the peg (needle stops), and the motor keeps pulling?

Ford knows it wont go past that.mine goes to 120, but tops out at 117. i do not recomend doing this on public roads. try it on the highway

[Ponch]

Your expeditions speedo goes to 120?

Thats what would happen. I haven't pegged mine yet (And don't know if it would). The speedo goes to 160. Stock it was computer limited to 130. I have had it up to about 145-150 but not faster....
