Fast N/A FB's

Are there any fast street legal N/A FB's? Do any of you guys own one and if so how quick is like quarter time, I know these cars aren't made to be quarter cars they're handling cars but I'm just curious if there are any quick FB's out there?

That's not cheating, that's problem solving.

Problem: Slow rotary

Solution: Big Nasty Small Block

Mine supposed to be a pretty fast NA, but its not. (See mods in Sig)

Maybe after I get this megasquirt installed and tuned. If that doesnt help it wont be an NA anymore.

uh yeah, there's lots of fast na ROTARY 1st gens

You can put a V-8 in anything. there's nothing special about that, it's just another small car/ truck/ whatever with a V-8. A fast rotary is something unique and special. i'm not saying that a stock rotary is slow, it's just good to see people getting good power from a N/A 1.1 liter engine.

I'm sure any bridgeported 12A with a holley or webber is VERY fast- hell, a streetport with exhaust, ignition, carb is fast. My stock 79 with a racing beat exhaust is plenty fast enough! (put still, who wants to stop there?)

I was playing, I'd be lucky if I make a low 15. The Geo wouldn't be too hard to get into the 10s....considering it weighed 1900 lbs from the factory, and its a pile of rust (REALLY BAD)...Someday I will have a rotary powered tracker.

K, done hijacking

LOL! I just pmed you, asking how you got into the 10s. Ya got me there .

My car is pretty quick, with the 1/2 bridge port and all. I wanna run low 14s, which I think is very attainable once I get a good ignition system (still on stock).

MODs in sig

Honestly with a stock port and all bolt ons including a bolt on nitrous kit one can easily get into the 13s with our little first gens.

Do the math and make yourself a shopping list if you want to be a drag racer. Our cars can pretty much do ANYTHING they want. If you don't want to be a drag racer take the nitrous off of the list you made before and you'll be able to do pretty much anything competatively.

Hopefully, next Wednesday I can take the widebody to the 1/8 th mile track for test and tune night. Don't have enough jets for the Mikuni to do any real tuning, but I will have the wideband with me.

Last year I was in the low 11's with headers and the Mikuni on the stock motor. My 2nd gen's best was 10.01 with headers. I would hope a 1/2 bp would break into the 13's, I'll see what mine can do, and post the results.

I'm supposed to have a fairly quick FB, but I won't have a clue until I can get a decent tune on it.
