My basic setup is a stage 2 motor with stage 2 heads sheetmetal intake cam from job 160 # injectors 88 mm turbo reworked by job and all this is controlled from a gen 7 + dfi with no y band correction the processor speed is so quick on the gen 7 the car responds so well to any changes weather it be 80 degrees or 40 degrees out its a awsome piece and job's tuning I think that speaks for itself.The rest of the car is a turbo 400 with a neil chance converter ford 9 inch rear thats about it. There is more left in the car we are still fairly conservative but the end of the year is comming reynolds ga will be interesting.

Tony's car on kill is still 2 tenths slower than Chow's Car With a mild tune up and Chow’s motor is not breaking.
The V-6 can not compete in heads up racing unless they are given wait breaks or other help. Richie Kibler is the only person I know of that has raced and won a v-6 in heads up racing in the last 5 years!

Take that!

Well at least Tony has his heart still residing with the Turbo V6. All I have to say. Don't wanna start another V6 pride argument. And don't wanna have to make another 100 reasons list on why Chris Chow sucks. Im done.

 

[John Wilde]

Chris does not suck, but I agree to disagree.
Have a Happy Easter and God Bless you and yours.

 

[V6UnderPressure]

Happy easter to you to John! And yes Chris does suck. He ripped the heart out of a TR. I guess its ok to run my buick off a pacemaker then.

I think I should be the one to say if my motor is on kill or not I had a connecting rod failure nothing to do with the stage 2 block or crank 1280 hp apparently was to much for my old rods. just to get some facts straight my car weighs 3540 single turbo 88 mm the boost was 32# on the 8.53 pass the motor made about 25 hp per # of boost so still had about 100 more to go according to jobee but what does HE KNOW...... John I am fully aware that the v8 will make more power and be more reliable than the v6 jobee has been trying to get me to switch for years but I belive in the V6/single turbo for the G/N they earned their respect on that combo

Tony,

I tried emailing you last week.
Please send me a number I can call you on.
I would like to clarify a couple things plus get
some advice

My issue was not with you or your car.
I am sick of the Religious Fanatical Anti V-8 Movment.
This people are in serious need of a life.

Your bragging about a twin turbo v8 beating a 6? Misinformed. I will race you. I am just awaiting my Built engine from Bob Reiger. You don't belong here. You swapped the V8 so you can get quicker times with less stress to the engine. Which means your more in tune with bracket racing. Soooooo..... your no longer a GN fanatic. You are a Bracket racing fanatic. Go to www.bracketracing.com, you don't belong here anymore. By the way Chris, I don't know you and meant no offense WAY back in those earlier posts. However, you seemed to lash back out with smart comments. Frankly, I take the no offense part back. Anyhow, I just voiced my opinion. Thats all. And I am nothing but free to do that. Lets see you stop that! Sorry Chris, very sorry for this lash out. However, I would like to ask you a quick question if you have a second. Do you still have the "6" badges on the side of the car? Hope not.

Scott

Bowing down to Tony Gomes

First why would someone like Chris Chow even care where the respect of Scotty Nobody goes when he's already got boat loads of respect from people 1 and 2 seconds faster than he is???

Second, what are the two other cars in Chris' signature? V6 GNs!!!!!
So that means he has one stock suspension GN that has been given a 6 second capable motor which is being DISCRACED by sitting in the steel fenderwells of a NON tube chassis car JUST TO SEE THE LIMITS OF STOCK GN SUSPENSION. That's what I call a serious GN fanatic. Now back to my original point. He owns THREE GNs. One is just a 10 second beater and i don't understand the point of his third one... but i'm not a GN fanatic so I never will.

Scott, we allow anyone here even if they have a V-8. It is very annoying to many that you keep getting on Chris's case.

He, or I, do not appreciate you telling him to go elsewhere.

Everyone is able to voice their opinion and we have heard enough of your's about the V-8 GN to last for many years.

One of the "rules" we do have on this board is no name calling or personal attacks. Please conduct yourself accordingly.

P.S. Am sure you and Chris will notice that this thread has beed "edited". I think you both will be glad they are gone from public view after a cool-down period.

The thread WAS about Tony's great pass.

 

[V6UnderPressure]

As I stated before, my apologies greatly for this post Nick. A simple joke turned into an argument. With that said, I am glad to say that I was not the one with the first shot of profanity. And again, I apologize for hijacking this thread. My apologies to everyone on here and even an apology to chris chow. Although my opinions on him still stand. The fact that he brought his "8.32" up got me a little fired. I can't stand when the "V8" is brought up as an argument on speed. I am just glad that Mr. Gomes has kept his faith in the V6, on the street AND on the track.

One question though, why is it okay and "still in the spirit of a GN" to run a FORD 9" and a th400 but it's not okay to run a v8?
If you're a GN fanatic then you're a GN FANATIC and original GN parts are the only way to go, right?




Oh and congrats to Tony. It's always fun to run a new personal best.

Mr paint job, being that you only have 2 posts, I'm not sure if your just a friend of Chris' to post on here or a newbee looking for some good info. The V6 is what makes the power. The Tranny and the Rear end just transfer THAT power to the rear wheels. We are talking about a difference between a V8 and a V6, which to many people is significant. With that said, I don't like to see anyone bragging about what a twin turbo Big Block V8 can do as opposed to a Buick V6. I have no problem bringing up his other cars, but using the V8 to say I run better times then V6's is wrong, regardless of it being a buick. As I said, I didn't mean to get personal, I am just fired up that Mr. Gomes ran such a time, without having to give it a "Chevy" transplant. To me, that's just the easy way out.

you said "chris chow sucks" in my house "sucks" is a profanity because we all know it means "chris chow sucks ****" so depending on what you consider profanity, you were the first. According to basic cable i can call you a little bitch and it's not profanity so who's to say what is profane and what is not.

since the hijacking was already done, i see no reason to stop with the theme, especially since it was you who did it and not me. that a way to disrespect Tony's congrats thread. Looks like ScottyNobody has 0% respect for Tony and 0% respect for Chris.

this is an arguement on suspension, we all know Chris' v8 is detuned so he doesn't KILL himself.

 

[ChrisChow]

I never bragged about beating a V6 read my posts carefully.

But I will brag lots when we line up at a light with my other Buick

The point i'm making is that any motor can make power, 2JZs are running 6s so i guess that pretty much ****s on your beloved GN v6. Chris actually has a timing retard that kills power at the top end because the chassis can't handle it. I've personally stood at the start line and watched him almost total his GN because he forgot to hit the timing retard button and got sideways at over 100 mph when he shifted into high gear. If you want to know what a TT big block v8 can do then look at Mike Hayden's car (drive by ed thornton), it ran a 6.5 @ 220 mph in arizona two months ago. Chris has a small block and that motor has already run in the 6s in a tube chassis car.

Like i said before, it's not a question of horse power with his car, it's a question of how much hp can the stock suspension handle. That is the limiting factor here, NOT the # of cylinders. I'm sure if you had ever run anywhere near an 8 or worked with someone who has w/ stock suspension, you'd understand that. and as stated before, Tony has a "chevy" transplant, it's bolted to the back of his v6, he has a "ford" transplant behind that... so where is the GN fanatic you spoke of ealier? To me the whole drivetrane is the "heart" of the car. the rear end and tranny aren't ONLY for transfering the power to the tires, they play just as an important role as the motor. If they were so ho-hum and unimportant as you said they were, then why not just keep the factory rear end and trans?
