    I'm a Newb here

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in AZ and just bought a 98 3.8 5spd Firebird...I have had several other FBodies, this being my 1st 6r and my slowest...But I do like the car and have some plans for it. As for the plans I can't reveal right now, its going to be a secret [img]smile.gif[/img] ...All I will clue you in on is that is still going to be a 6cyl. Its not going to be a 3.8, it will have a 6spd and I am honestly expecting 450-500hp at the wheels.

    I'm normally not secretive about stuff like this, but I just want it to be a surprise because to my knowledge nothing like this has been done, and frankly I don't want somebody who is more financially able to get the idea from me and beat me to it :D ...

    The car is staying stock for now except for tint and an alarm. I will be picking up the block in the next month and will start to acquire everything.

    Ok ok, I'll give you this much also...It will be a totally forged V6 with about 8:1 compression and eventually close to 20lbs of boost...This is all you get until I can reveal the finished product [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] I know there are other boosted V6s but this is different.

    That is all.

        Thanks for the welcome...What is the fastest 6r around? A year ago I would've never thought of building a 6. But I have built several V8s and thought this could be a nice challenge and surprise a lot of people if everything works out.

        And I plan on sticking around here...I also post on fbody.com and ls2.com a lot.

        I am in E. Mesa btw.

        There are some pics of the car:

          its not the most up to date list but it gives you a good idea, and i think the fastest 3.8 is still the same

            Thanks for the link.

            I'm not trying to be arrogant or anything because I am far from that type of person. But if everything goes as planned and works out I am hoping for mid 11...But hell 11s perioud in a 3.8 is pretty damn impressive to me! As is 12s!

            Looks like there is some pretty strong running V6s which is nice to see!

                      If you are working off a 3.8L series II VUper will be your best competition..

                      If you are talking about a guy with a non-3.8L series II motor but still a v6 and turboed, I know someone that will give you a run for your money. But can't say anything about anyone until their cars are built and running [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      Good luck on the project.

                        If your talking 4th Gen V6's... There's a guy that's been featured in High Performance Pontiac that doesn't qualify for this site's timeslips page that is running 10.30's with a 1993 Formula with a GNX engine pushing 22lbs of boost.

                                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
