Good point.
You two should have raced each other while you were down there. I would have paid money to see that. I think there's a track in Daytona. Next year maybe?

Right after you call me a nutswinger...Nice.
Where did I attack you in this thread? I was going to post this video before Shaun mentioned anything about it. I was hoping for some discussion about what this motor was, and what the deal was. Hell, read my posts in the thread on RFT. I thought the song was hilarious, big deal.

The song is hilarious.
Because:
1) Archie's real name is Cletus Archambault.
2) Cletus really did go down to FL
3) The song talks about cars
I mean, what kind of coincidences does that take? But then once you have to explain it, it's not as funny.
Still funny though.
Humor.
Look it up.

And yet you didn't post it until after everyone on RFT started talking about it being posted over here. Or as you put it, "I couldn't help myself." and then posted a link to this thread so the nutswingers can find it.
If you just wanted discussion, you would have posted the video earlier, and not gone out of your way to make sure everyone on RFT knows you posted it.
You did it to earn brownie points over there and to stir up shiat over here. At least have the stones to admit it.

Why? People said Archie should run his car on a dyno. He did and it's been nothing but a ***** and moan festival. What possible incentive would anyone have to want to race Shaunna? Win or lose, it's still going to end up being a pissing match.
I've met a number of people who are happy with V8 Archie engine swaps. And I've met a number of people who are unhappy with them.
The difference is, the satisfied customers are the ones who actually own one.

I totally agree.
It's just too bad Shaunbag doesn't spend some of that time on proving any or all of the allegations he's made against me.
He demands everyone else put up proof, but he never has been badgered into providing any proof of any of his lies.
That's the definition of a nutswinger. Look it up.

not your job you say? well its not Archies either.
its cute y'all think he's some kind of Fiero god, but c'mon, he is just a guy installing V8 into Fieros. and not even his own V8's. you bring him a sloppy smoke belching V8 - you are gonna get a Fiero that belches smoke. He has no magic "anti-smoke" potion he rubs on. but, it is cute you think he can..... |

This pretty much sums it up for me. Why the hell would I take an engine to be swapped and hope it runs right when it's done? Then have to take it to a mechanic to have it tuned? I guess if I follow that reasoning, I'd go to my local welder to have braces put on, then to the Orthodontist to have them straighted out.

You see. This is the kind of BS. Where the hell are thsoe 400-500HP engines here V8 or not?? I can think of one or two proven in that range. Do you have one and are hesitant to use the 6 speed? I guess not. People get interested in a swap because cost, engine availability, wow factor and sometimes HP goal or technical expertise. I haven't seen trany as the main limiting factor. At the end we all have the same tranys to deal with. Very high HP use a $3K+ built 4T60. Want stick? Then check the limits. If Archie wanted a better showcase at D7 he could send people 30 feets away to my car with dynoed 304rwhp/366rwTQ and the 6 speed. It is torque what cracks the case and not HP

My stock northstar put down 300.5rwhp/315rwTQ and now that my 5spd is junk and i'm rebuilding the engine for around the 450hp mark i'm looking for stronger transmission options while staying manual, so it's not BS. I know what GM's rating is but i would much rather know what they can actually take and how they fail when they fail. Thats all i would like to know.
