I though you were talking about one of these!

Its because they decided to cram a 5.7L in the car.....

 

No... they decided to build the car around a 5.7. They knew what they were putting in it. The vette had it the year before. I had an 86 ta and holy **** you could do anything under there, then they go and cram an LT1 in the damn thing and it takes me 10 hours to do plugs, wires, and a distributor on my 96. Thank you GM!

 

While i admit i dont like some of the general designs, i sure do love the end result

 

redrider....you haven't seen a built up 4.3 have you? it's pretty much a 350 with two missing pistons....just about everything else can be swapped

 

^yeah I know it's basically the 350 block, I actually thought about supercharging it. I have duals on it now, and if you heard it you wouldn't think it was a V6 under the hood.

 

Lonewolf Nice pics dude. Some of those down in station square? Youlive in the city?

 

Yea until the high RPM's lol...but they sound nice with true duals. If i remember correctly you can swap out the pistons for some type of gain...i can't remember because i was too interested in the ls1 swap on my blazer when i had it. I had a 4.3 also, straightpipe from the cat back....sounded like a big block when you started it lol
Yea cars like that are mean in top end straight runs...venom 1000 will get eaten by the latest lingenfelter creation...c6 corvette 0-226.6mph in one mile on pump gas...which is flat out disgusting... http://www.lingenfelter.com/Lingenfe...06ZO6TTBGB.htm

Yup down in Station [ ] I didn't take those pics he did...i was going to take pics but our work schedules never worked too well with the others. I live out in the eastern part of the city

 

i can tell a v6 from a v8 a mile away...the v6 camaros, trucks, and mustangs with duals around here aren't fooling anyone. problem with vipers is they can't hook worth a ****, if a Venom 1000 could launch it'd eat cars and bikes alive...people put all this money into motors but don't bother with suspension to back it up, off the top of my head I can think of one particular 800hp n/a nova(it's gold, the guy said he drove it regularly on the street), it was in hot rod or something a few years back, it's no twin turbo viper or vette but it'd do high 8s...high friggin 8s! that's 'busa territory. Gotta get it to the ground or it ain't ****.

Viper Venom 1000
1/4 mile: 10.5 sec. @ 153 mph....that IRS will get you every time, same reason 600hp terminator cobras are in the mid 11s. Supras have the same problem, you see 1200hp supras but some **** poor 1/4 time and a high trap speed.

found something...

that small block...no turbo, no s/c...guilty of a heavy dose of n20 propels a street trim 72 nova to 9.87 at 134...blowing the 1000hp viper out of the water. obviously there's something wrong when the car trapping over 150mph loses the foot race to a car trapping 134. Hennessey should be ashamed. An 11:1 383...nothing insane.
