I can get spin only in 1st and maybe 2nd. But then again i have an aod that feels like a rubber band. My mods are somewhat custom and extensive (air flow improvements and intake porting short of head work) but not as significant as say adding all magnum powers pieces. But i will not lie to you- i have not installed an upgraded exhaust yet either. I ported my collectors and did something with the outlet of the resonator. I doubt this did much if anything. Boost is at 17 psi peak.
I did time the car with a stop watch on 30-50, 50-70, 80-100 mph with my 5% sc pulley back on and the numbers were impressive to me. Adding a 1/4 second for each timing for errors, and compiling all the numbers, i find my car to be on par with an SS Z28 or a Toyota Supra turbo up to 100 mph.
But you know, i naturally want to go faster- like a mid 11 second car. too bad the SC requires a ton of money to force it to do this. when i first joined this forum over a year ago, i didn't have much indepth knowledge about the SC. I have learned quite a bit from browsing this forum and it's nice that guys like yourself and others here have already been down the road i am going. Although i like the manners of the 3.8 v6, it does have some deep breathing issues. i would still like to drop a 351 windsor turbo in it (someone probably did this already) to get a reliable 11 or 10 second SC. i would like to lay down 1/8 mile long tire marks on the ground without getting caught. i would love to rocket from 60 to 100 in less than 4 seconds and embarass someone who spent $100k plus on a new exotic out on the freeway. And the SC still looks sharp to me.
i'm not expecting a reply to this.. just wanted to release my thoughts right now.
