Safe Horsepower

Oh man, you should have lived in Dallas in the late 80s...I swear, every Monte SS and early Foxstang 5.0 emptied a bottle nightly at Manana, Emerald, and California Crossing.

Those were the days...NOS boys followed by hoardes of bumblebee bikes

by bumblebee bikes do you mean the hayabusa?

Ninjas and the likes, all with the noisy high pitched pipes....you could hear them coming a couple miles away, sounding like a pack of angry bees buzzing for all they were worth

Hayabusas were not even on the horizon yet at that time

Oh come on man, ive seen alot of people blow their motors, straight rod through wall and it never caught on fire, im not saying its impossible im just saying its not common.

Your talking about nitrous - a back fire an your going to have carnage esp with the shot your talking about

I guess in the ECU word you willld E85 is considered race fuel because it can be tuned to make like 1.5 times your horsepower just with E85 and a tune.

Don't know where you heard that - defiantly not true

the cheapest way to get horsepower for me and the total would be around 1400$

I seriously don't have $1400.00 in my engine and I don't care how much juice you feed yours you won't come close.

cant tell if you're excited or calling me dumb.[/QUOT

Neither - your a young man and can dream. As I said before it would take me less than a day to put a complete brake system on a car and with your track record this won't happen in the next year

bulletproof huh?....we tried to rebuild a powerglide and we couldn't even get one of the 2 gears to work after we did it....I will stick to a manual transmission....😵

Yep, bulletproof. Lol. Just in case you get into a shoot out. Lol.

I would VERY MUCH prefer to have a manual transmission in the Monte Carlo but I want a T56 and they're expensive.

the reason why i dont like to mess with the brakes was because i learned everything i could about motors and suspension because i was told this cars only problem was it wouldnt run, so i learned about that and got it running in about a day, brake lines are dumb to me, i hate plumbing and never wanted to do it. in hindsight every old car needs new brake lines but hindsight is always 20/20. also if you just google stock car e85 tune you will see how much horsepower you can get, Also E85 can add alot and track people consider it race fuel because it can add alot of power, maybe not 1.5 but you know what i mean.
