I know what I want now.
as soon as I can find a good one for a reasonable price [in my area]
I want a;
68 Buick GS or a 70 Buick GS
Either way i'm going to put a 455ci v8 Stage 1 motor in it [70 buick GS came stock with it]
mods;
Motor: 455ci Buick v8 Stage 1
Tranny: 4 Speed Manual
Rear End: 10 Bolt Posi [for all your burnout needs]
Intake: Definately a hood scoop :P I'll look more into it
Exhaust: Twin Turbo[are turbos part of the intake or exhaust..] :D and a straightpipe. [less backpressure]
Wheels: Chrome 15 inchers :P I'll try and get hard rubber racing slicks too.
Seats: Bucket, with 4 point belts.
Thoughts;
Turbos: 1 or 2? Is it worth the cost of 2? and I would need to get turbo timers also :P
Intercooler yes or no? I'm not sure about the practicality of one. The engine wont be pushed hard for more than 10 seconds [when it matters.] and it definately wont be taken into high rpm's.
BOV or Wastegate: I'd lean hard torwards BOV just because of that orgasmic sound it makes.
Supercharger: Alot more practical for a drag car than a turbo because you dont have any turbo lag :P I'd try and get a positive displacement one too. I'd get quicker response than a centifugal one, especially at low rpm's.
Larger Cylinders: Increasing the bore and stroke for higher displacement :P I'd rather increase the bore [I think it's cheaper?]
Compression Ratio: Hopefully it'll be between 10-11:1, anything higher and I'd waste all my money on premium gas -_-; especially with a 455ci v8
Exhaust: Dual exhaust, 2 exhaust and 2 intake valves per cylinder, and headers [anything else I'm missing?]
Weight Reduction: CF/Fiberglass, is it worth it? what the hell could I possibly take off a buick GS to make it lighter -_-;
Fuel Injection: I'm not sure how this works [not fuel injection itself] but how to make a buick GS 455ci v8 fuel injected. Is it even possible? or would I have to buy a newer engine
Nitrous Systems: For wetworks I would need fuel injection wouldnt I -_-; fuck. Hm. if I did run nitrous, I wouldnt need to worry about an intercooler though.... Hm. Hopefully carb nitrous plates are cheap :P god a 200 shot of nitrous would be a sexy addition to my beast.
anyways, post your.. comments/suggestions. or make fun of me if I got anything horribly wrong.
[do give me a little leeway though. it's 5:44 in the fuckin morning]
I keep editing and adding on more.
