Re: THE 442 MADE IT INTO CARCRAFT.COM!!!!!!
 

so you like?

now you see why some of ya need to come down to UM3 at us 41 dragway in Morroco IN july 15-17th (she will be going down the track on the 16th!!!!!!!)

just wait for the new vid after! :twisted:

Just a quick update:
http://www.tempo-topaz-performance.c...roject/july13/

Everythings coming along nicely. I have a bunch of parts on their way so things should move along quickly. I'm guessing I'm 5-6 weeks from starting her up, most of that due to waiting for parts. I'll update again in a week or 2.

Woooooahh. More info please?

So there are two transmissons? I am correct in saying that? And front axle is 3100 and rear is 3800? Twisted!

two complete drive trains, which includes:
2 engines, 2 trannies, 2 radiators, etc

13 second OLSMOBILE 442!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well....
WOOOOT!!! :thumbsup:

Well Al and I are back and guess what the 442's best time was?
13.81 at just over 98 mph!!!! :shock: :cheers:
just under 3 seconds improvment over the 16.5 BRE time (Before Rear Engine)!!
not bad for a $3000 mod.... :twisted:

had her looking pretty good but didnt have the interior all sorted out the new firewall was owning us till the last minute that we loaded her onto the trailer... :roll:

looks like everyone still thinks we are insane :lol: but we had no problems on the drive from the hotel to the track we pulled strong all the way to 115mph where the 3800 was just shoving the speedlimited 3100 past 108 mph...talk about a unique sound! WOT! :D we were partially deaf by the time we got to the track :mrgreen:
the first run down the 1/4 netted us a 14 second flat pass and the engine's werent going to WOT! looks like it's time for the 5th/6th reincarnation of the rear throttle cable too bad it was so hot out otherwise we would have run a 13.7 fer sure!
Not bad for a stock looking 94 Olds....SLEEPER! :twisted:
Al got called an @sshole by an Impala owner who sid he'd race us...lined up and Al took him by over 4 seconds! :devil: found out later that he evedently he was the only one there who didnt know we had two engine's he just thought we were a loud 3100 :wink: I can only imagine what was going through his mind as Al pulled a 1.9 60 ft and left him behind :lol: right after that run he asked us what we were running...."two engine's" him-> :shock: he thought we were insane too...LOL
We are real glad that we went! we had a blast along the others!
boy though it was definatly a $300 dollar trip but worth every minute of it
13.81!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so who wants to check out the 13 second 442 at the next minimeet? :mrgreen:

Thank you Germ and Manticore UMM3 was a blast! next year a Turbo and other work should let us skip the 12 second club and go straight to the 11's!!!!

James, Al, Amanda, and of course the 422!

BTW, we just ordered the external wastegate and BOV to go with the turbocharger on the LN3...we also have the electric sender autometer gauges for monitering the rear engine/trans/boost.

so yeah...next time we go to the track shjould show some improvment... :D

I was just talking to a guy about this car today.....and of course the damnedest thing, the thread pops up about it LOL.
