Off Road Racer with SC3.8 from South Carolina

[FoSHO99]

You may want to pm chris kemp - DOHCZ34 for a tune, quality stuff and is pretty seasoned with all sorts of 3800 setups. - View Profile: DOHCZ34 - Pontiac Grand Prix Forums : Grandprix

I would also be worried about belt slip on the 3.0 with that belt setup. Something like this may help - Belt Wrap Kit

With those mods and the way you are going to be running it, you're going to need some 42.5# injectors as well.

where are the tranny /tcase from? whats the average weight of your rigs?

btw VERY NIICE

The whole accessory drive will be custom so will keep that in mind. The transmission is a built 700r4 out of a 2.8 chevy blazer with a Custom 2:1 Atlas Transfer case. Last rig weighed 3800lbs. Hoping this one will be around 4000lbs

This is absolutely badass.

 

[trailtoy83]

[Bio248]

hell yeah!

 

[Neil98gt]

Pretty damn awesome. I'd love to see some videos of this in action

 

[Sandman]

This looks so badass. What do your compatriots think about it?

 

[DirtDog]

sick. just sick to see this motor used in ways like this. great job bro.

 

[trailtoy83]

Well i run a series 2 in my old buggy for 5 years but it was stockish. Everyone says i should have put a 5.3 or 6.0 in it but the power of a SC3.8 is Awesome from a dead stop which comes in great for limbing up vertical walls. I still think i can take a 5.3 or 6.0 thats stockish. I am taking my new buggy to 1/8 mile track this friday, will see what she runs

 

[REDCRAPGP]

That's just awesome

 

[LeadfootCJ7]

Looks awesome all together. Were those pics at KOH or Parker? How is the suspension? Got it dialed in for the higher speed sections or are you just running the rock races?

 

[trailtoy83]

Those pics are from KOH, we are running all of the Ultra 4 East Series. Suspension is awesome for fast sections but have to work on it for the rocky sections its kinda harsh
