oBdnanrwith his 9psi procharger will be having his motor built by me Today the motor he bought off ebay 2001 3.8L V6 arived at my house and i took pictures tomorrow i will be tearing this bad boy down and have plenty of interesting pics. Then have it bored over .20 and dipped.
Congradulations Brandon here are the pictures of the 01 motor(strongest 3.8 block)
only thing thats being used off that thing is the block. Didnt feel like not having a car for like 3-5 months so i bought it off ebay. Chris's guestimate is 5800ish for the engine build. the gforce t5 is 2200 for 500ft lb tq. and i paid 1800 for a brand new 8.8 31 spline axle kit and a aluminum drive shaft. So everything is going to be practicaly brand new. Axlekit should ship monday yaay.
well yeah, i just dont feel like listing all the small things that will be added. tires and the rear end are going to help alot considering i just ran a 18.692 @ 91.35 and a 16.502 at 89.17 lol. Wheel spin all of 1st gear like no matter what and a bit in second gear. it was bad... i kinda gave up after that and since chris broke his **** on the 3rd run i might of gotten a bit superstitious
well i won it for 350 but shipping was a ****ing ****, so it was 799 total. i said i have like zero traction dude. the tires on there now are cheap as ****. but im going to go back when my axle gets here next week and i put tires on and break the axle in.
If he has an auto...
Getting traction just takes practice. You can't just floor it off the line, you have to lightly get into the throttle once you feel it stop spinning and hook green light to lay into it.
well it will be alot easier to launch if the tires dont spin out of control. i mean this is the second time ive ever been to the track so im sure ill get better.
um the 8.8 31 spline axle kit with 3.73 gears comes with t-lok. how about we shut the **** up and when i get it put on and broken in ill post the number.

Doesn't matter if you had an 8.8 or a 7.5 with a tlok it'll help you launch. Biggest reason for a better rear end is so you can launch at higher rpms, if you can't launch now launching higher most certainly isn't gonna help you. Understand?
Oh and when people say axle kit, some reason I think of just the axles. I'm guessing you bought a complete 8.8 rear end with 31spline axles and 3.73 gears?
i had roughly 3 hours on it from that point. i started at 11:45 and made the video at about 230-3
