After all........... just his attitude he has projected in the last 4 threads deserves a negative from me....
So.......... you can spray a rod-knockin' 6 banger and get a whoping 200 rwhp out of it for 5 seconds WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that's a REAL tuner eh' ?
My brothers here laughing about it.....
Do you want to race him as well?

Seems to me like you're that guy that is "never wrong".


Thanks for the compliment. However I am not assuming anything. Plus you only said generally. I guess I am an exception. I must be blessed by god. I know I am going to beat Earls 4.9. I am looking to have fun but at the same time some people need to realize that this swap isn't all its cracked up to be. I am not saying that putting nitrous on a 2.8 is the way to go. I am just saying its faster then spending $2500 to install a 4.9 thats all. From a dollar to performance issue its not even a smart choice. And btw, when it comes to taking my "tired" 2.8 with nitrous up against a fairly stock auto 4.9, I know that I am not wrong. Its simple really. Some people are just too blinded to know what teh truth is.

Why did I get a 4.9? Because I cant afford a SBC. I know cars. Im not some chump that thinks he does.

So, do you still assume that I will loose?


You know if you just waited and saved a little longer you could have had the sbc.

And thats great that you have had all those cars. I am very proud of you.

Want to know whats funny? Is that after you get done with your 4.9 swap, is that if you go and race your accord, you will lose to it from a roll.

And I am not assuming you will lose if I race you, I know you will lose be it you dont' haev any major engine work done to it IE nitrous. Its simple really. You dont' haev much for a power curve with that 4.9. Its not much about peak numbers, its about the curve. And I will say my curve on nitrous is brutal compared to a 4.9.

Its simple really. When you get your 4.9 swap done, drive it on up to central florida. I will shake your hand and we can go race and you can buy me a victory beer afterwards. I have no problem with you. I just have a problem with people thinking this swap is the cats pajamas. Its not. Everyone has posted high 14's at the track with a 4.9 and auto tranny and fairly stock motor.

NyFiero. I could care less about your brother. And yup this rod knockin 6 banger is going to beat a v8 fiero. But I geuss the real tuner to you is the person who installs a 4.9 right? When you get done with your 4.9 bring it on down and I will run you too. I have no problem using a pound of nitrous to hand it to you as well. wouldnt' it be funny if I beat you with a rod knocking 2.8? Oh my how would you be able to live with the shame? Go back home to say you got beat by a rod knocking v6. I don't think you would ever be able to get another g/f again.

The 4.9 was made to haul old fat people around in their 5,000 lb Caddy's. It is far from a race motor.

Our transmission has the 2.97 FDR and it's very strong out of the hole, just hits the rev limiter before it shifts.

LOcate a 4T60E w a 3.33:1 FDR and my prediction is that your 4.9L will "blast off". The question then becomes, do we have any revs left at the end of the 1/4 mile w the 4.9L using the 3.33 FDR.
BTW, PBJ is achieving great performance with a Turbocharged 4.9L not a stock engine. As you might guess turbocharging makes a huge difference in horsepower as PBJ's low 12 ET's show.

In otherwords, it was made to haul azz. But I already know that since I own one.

BTW Certain members hate 4.9s as if they got embarrassed by one still in a big Caddy.

OK guy's with my bad luck in July (when through 2 4.9's) I now have a 4.5 PFI with an Allante intake on it connected to a 5 Speed Getrag on our 88. We went to the track to get times on the car. I ran consistant at 14.2 and 96 MPH on my timed runs. My son made the last run and ran a 14.001 @ 98.25 MPH and this is with the car not able to pull all the way to 5500 rpm. The engine is stock as it came from the factory with the Allante Intake added by me. We have a Rockcrawl chip and no cat (Idaho doesn't have Smog yet) 2.5" into a 3" Y pipe into an excelerator 3" in 2 2.5's out. To me the car doesn't seem to have as much pull as the 4.9 had before I broke it.

I do have the slips for the runs.
