How to get GIRLS? - Page 10

Well hats off to all of those who still have their car/truck toys. I have none anymore. Just looking back I guess. I have a couple of Toyota's and an E250 Ford van right now. I haul illegals from the border to KC. Just seeing if you caught that. Pretty plain cars compared to my past.

Marty, well all have things we look back fondly on. I had tons of guitars back in the 70 & 80's. Bought and sold them ....no big deal. Kept several of the ones I had from the early 80's but boy, I sure I had some of the strats, tele & LP I had in the old days.

Had some nice Harleys back then too!

dmnall · 10-15-2009, 03:57 PM

Frankie,
Sad to see that you sold them years ago.. Well I would say LS7 your camaro with a Tremec T56 MN12 *505HP stock from the ls7 427 small block*...

Marty,
You did have some sick ass cars, I love that yellow 69 vette and Buick gsx awesome.. I understand about the toys..

I had some nice newer muscle cars *2002 Camaro Z28 auto (major sin).. Redeemed myself with a 2005 Pontiac GTO Manual* but over some issues with the gto and lemon law, I am currently driving a 08 Civic si sedan... I am just saying no more buying cars unless I can pay cash for one! I am focusing on getting my 68 C10 stepside back on the road safely and not guzzle as much gas it has been! 2 mpg in town and 4 mpg guzzling premium is not good!

Cheers,
Charlie

I would go nuts listing all the guitars I should have never sold. My baby was stolen and it really broke my heart. I was playing a bar near Sedona, AZ and one of the bar employees stole my original 1969 Lester Gold Top with Soap Bars. I never got over that. Strange though, I never went back to a Les Paul again and I do not own one. I have a 2009 Gibson Explorer. My main axe is a 89 Fender Strat Plus with Gold Lace pickups.

Anyhow, I have traded one of a kind guitars away like an Alvarez Yari 12 string and a Guild Jumbo from 1974. A lot of electrics have come and went like the women in my life.

Cars were almost as important as my playing. My dad had a complete automotive business and at 16 he gave me a 1956 Bel Air for helping him out. Within two months, I transformed it into one friggin' mean street machine. My dad wasn't to hip about it. He said I ruined the car. This 56 was an early model and still had a 265 in it. It was bored out to a 274. I knew a lot of machinists and one had a set of original "Power Pack" heads for this engine. It gave you 12 to 1 compression with flat top pistons. With headers, a Corvette 30-30 mechanical cam and a semi-tunnel ram manifold and 800CFM Holley...we are talking about shifting gears at 8400 RPM. A missed gear would fly up to 10,000. I put a Munice Rock Crusher with a 2.20 First gear and I ran a variety of rear ends, but normally a 4.56. This was my first car. This is what got me hooked on "go fast." I had a bevy of bikes and my dad begged me not to ride. He heard all the stories of the stupid shit that I did on motorcycles. I think he relaxed a little when I got my 74 Harley.

I really don't sit and think about that stuff anymore, but when the conversation turns to it, I like to say, "Hey, I was there."

I don't like going new school. I'm probably gonna stick with the M22 and 396 route as that's proper for that car. I've got my neat little high output V6 in my Chrysler if I wanna play around with those new fangled devices. It's 250hp, and I was thinking about doing a little bit to it to get it up to 275hp. Makes for a tasty daily driver and it's totally awful on the gas like a 396 or 427.

I've been out of racing for a long time, but I do know that Chevy is offering a huge 572 big block crate motor. They also offer the 427 and 454. I see they are still selling the 502 I had, but I didn't pay 10 grand for it. The 427's and 454's are rated at 440HP (SAE NET) and go for about $7.5K.

http://gmhorsepower.com/index.php

I guess when I was car crazy, I didn't realize how much money I was spending. I had a great, high paying job and a lot of money went for motors. I agree that a M22 and a 396 would be killer in the Camaro. If you start going with a bigger motor, then you have to look at the rest of the car and ask, "Can it take the torque?"

The other thing is that these crate motors need really good gas. You are not going to be able to drive "as you please" with a crate motor. You will need higher octane gas and gas booster just to get the motor to start. These are more for people who want to build a 1/4 mile car.

Now my suggestion is one I have some experience with and would make for a much easier engines swap. Find yourself a 400 small block ( the last two years they were made are the very best ones). The bores on these could be cleaned 10 or 20 over and this motor puts out more torque than a 383 Chevy. I ran one of these in a 67 Nova and it was a monster and the car still handled well by not having a heavy big block up front. I only had that car for about four months, as I got an offer on it and sold it. The guy who bought it wrecked it less than two weeks after I sold it to him. A lot of the people still thought I owned the car and that it had been me in the wreck. Anyway, a 400 small block might be a sweet way to go. Lots of torque, great RPM and lighter than the 396.

Ok, well some how my brother is a pimp... He is 17 and is now hanging out with the 20 year olds cuz who is like 23... She is smoking... kinda emo but honestly that's kinda sexy...

Not real pictures but looks like the typical hot model...

He showed me pictures and if she comes over how do I not run away and hide? Like literally I have never been in a situation where a girls is this hot... even in Vegas... Help me out!

Frankie,
I have to say this that is Mojunk aka Chrysler.. They are not known for making a v6 with power and still get decent economy. The new school reason why I love the gen3 and gen 4 small block chevs is they can put down some great hp, does not fall flat on their face in the high rpm range and still manage as high as 32 MPG... Case in point a 99 C5 with a six speed manual trans, average at 85+ 28.5 mpg!

Very good points Marty.. But give me an LS7 427 small block Chev engine that is in the 06+ Corvette Z06! 505 HP and 485+ torque and mate that to a Tremec T56 MN12 trans = at minimum 26 mpg! The ls7 is still lighter by 25 - 50 lbs then a 400 Small Block but is just as strong since the ls7 block is a C5R lsx block... Just the downside 12 - 15K for the ls7 but it would be a hell of an engine *but let me swap the cam, springs, intake, throttle body and retune the computer* I bet I could pull a couple hundred more out of the engine.

Cheers,

MartyStrat54 · 10-16-2009, 05:46 PM

Well I guess I was looking at the financial feasibility of it all. To get that small block Vette motor is a lot of cash. Then you have to add the computer to a non-computer car. I just thought that a 400 small block with some decent add-on parts would put out some good HP, but mainly brutal torque. In a small car like a Camaro this would be a weekend swap job with a 12 pack of beer. The LS-7 would be a whole lot different, although I would love to have any late 60's to 1972 GM Muscle car with that motor in it. That's what is amazing, is taking a 40 year-old car and putting in a current Vette motor...and the wickedest one of them all. I dyno'd 606HP out of my L88 Vette motor, but I could have gotten more. However, I was looking at being able to drive it on long trips and this forced a compromise in how much HP I was going to get. BTW, with an 800CFM Holley, it still got 14-15 MPG on the highway.

Riffraff · 10-16-2009, 09:20 PM

The big D cleaned me out a couple of times too Marty. Shit happen's huh, it was worth it in the end. At least I still have my guitars and my Harley. Had to sell a few amps earlier this year but I kept what I've been using. Gonna play in the dirt tomorrow with my latest toy.

MartyStrat54 · 10-16-2009, 10:46 PM

I had a big Suzuki once that was called a "Big Bear" I believe. My brother-in-law is a Polaris man.

I got to say those are the nicest looking wheels I ever saw on a quad. Are they the factory wheels?

Riffraff · 10-17-2009, 05:23 AM

No, the tires & wheels are an aftermarket set from ITP. I just put them on Monday night and haven't had a chance to try them out yet......I get home a little late because of the commute. They should grab a lot better than the old bald stockers. I expect this baby will stand right up now when I get on the gas.

Let's see you have sex in a 99 C5 though. Those cars are TINY, of course they get good mileage. That 300 I got puts down enough power to enjoy driving, and I can fit 5 people in it with like 4 guitars and 2 heads in the trunk. My left knee also doesn't hurt since I'm not clutching... tiptronic 5 speed is kinda the shit. Plus, I'm 6'2", so I'm kinda limited on which cars I can comfortably fit in. Doing a minimum 90 minute commute every day in a C5 would probably make me miserable.

I know there are a ton of awesome motors out there, but I'm not a speed demon. I like the style and class of that ancient muscle, so a 396 and 4 speed it's gonna be most likely. That combo'll still blow the doors off of most things on the road today anyway. That '67 is my weekend cruiser, not my drag strip king. I never got much into the drag strip, it's too expensive and the best you get is some recognition from other drunk gearheads. I spent all my spare money on guitars, amps, and microphones. Singing and playing lead guitar in a band gets you way more chicks than having a 9 second Chevrolet.

Jesstaa · 10-19-2009, 06:12 AM

I wish I could get into all the car shit, I'd love to have a real nice metal machine, but I live in bogan territory, so all I see when I think of nice cars, is bogan/wog hoons in their done up holdens talking about how fully sick their ride is

That or stuck up peroxide headed twats popping ecstacey and crashing into trees.

I'll stick to music and chicks >.>

MartyStrat54 · 10-19-2009, 05:07 PM

...and I thought growing up in a small town in Oklahoma was bad. You live in boogie man country. Nothing but nothing. The only person to complain about how loud your amp is would be a family member. Neighbors? Yeah I have some. They're about 60 miles east of here.

carnada · 10-19-2009, 07:20 PM

it would be so awesome going around the city with your 1979 camaro listening to british steel on the radio...damn that would be awesome

Marty,
I totally understand, the LS7 is a sick motor but damn 12 - 15K alone. The Computer is not that much of a problem, there is a couple of wiring harness upgrades that will help work with that. Now the aspect is you can build great power with the old school sbc for 1/4 the cost. Plus with your L88 vette motor and getting 14 - 15 mpg, is really excellent. My 68 C10, with a 91 350 block, 66 Camel Back Fuelie heads *2.02 intake*, edelbrock performer intake manifold, carter afb 625 cfm with a TH 400 Trans and 3.73 gears in the rear end, I get way crappy mileage *2 mpg in town and 4 mpg on the freeway all guzzling premium*... I know the reason, heads, cam, trans and rear end gears... Which is why I am thinking of just dumping the cash into an ls1 and t56.. Or I just get a TH2004R trans, a set of vortec heads, new cam, performer rpm air gap intake for vortec heads and a quadrajet carb, I should be able to get better mileage like 14 - 15 mpg on the freeway!

Cheers,
Charlie

I don't even have a radio in my Camaro. I prefer the sound of the cammed up small block when driving that sucker. I play music all weekend long, so I really enjoy not hearing tunes when driving around. When I cruise in my 300 I usually have on the jazz station or classical. I'm like OD'd on rock & roll.

MartyStrat54 · 10-20-2009, 04:00 PM

Charlie...

I don't understand why you are getting that big SUV type gas mileage? First off, I worked on a lot of early Pontiacs and I never was a fan of an AFB, whether OE or aftermarket. An AFB doesn't inject the fuel volume that a double-pumper Holley does. Plus you are running 3.73 gears. Those are basically the gears you would run with a manual. 3.55's would be the standard auto tranny gears. Do you run an electric fuel pump? With that poor of mileage I would be looking the engine all over for fuel problems. I've built a lot of engines, especially SB Chevy's and I have never heard of this type of gas mileage.

Now if you said you were running a 383SB with tunnel ram and two 700CFM Double-Pumpers and a high lift roller and solids and polished and ported Dart heads, I could say that 4MPG was good.

Marty,
Yes I am running an electric Fuel pump. The thing is the gears are stock *never changed*.. My short bed 68, I have that had a powerglide in it with a straight 6 *not the 292 like my long bed was supposed to have lol*, has 3.73 gears as well. The big issue with it is the 2.02 Intake Valves, in actuality, I am shocked I get such shitty mileage as well because I have built a few sbcs myself and never ran into this issue lol.. Plus my guess is when I worked at a Napa Parts store, they had an old guy doing machine work, so I had him do work on the Fuelie heads *3 angle valve job, hardened exhaust valve seats and surface*, but the old guy did a great job on the heads except with the surfacing... I think he shaved off a bit more and bumped my compression up a bit higher.. The old guy never checked the exact thickness he took off, just put it on a belt sander and go..

I have checked for fuel leaks and none at all, I thought it was that, but oh well.. To be truthful, my dad is the fan of the edelbrock performer/Carter AFB carbs because he loves how easy it is to rejet the carbs. I am more the Quadrajet Carbs myself, but the Fuelie heads are what along with the gears have to go.. Hell the options for the 67 - 72 pickups 1/2 ton chevs were 3.08, 3.42, 3.73, 4.11 *if the glove box door sticker did not mention gear ratio, then 3.73 were it* LOL...

Cheers,

MartyStrat54 · 10-21-2009, 06:38 PM

Well that's what I mean. For years, GM used 3.73's for any manual transmission and 3.55 for any auto's. To me, that's not a lot of difference. Now the truck rear end ratios were a little different on how they spaced them out.

I wasn't a big fan of a Q-Jet, but there were some tricks to make them better for "stock" muscle cars. The AFB was a well built carb, but it was limited on CFM on big cubic inch engines or high revving ones.

About the guy that did your heads. It sounds like one head could be different than the other head. In a technical sense, the compression ratio could be different. Wow! I've never been around that. It would only hurt your fuel consumption if the engine was knocking from weak gas in a high compression engine.

When I was young, working at my dad's shop, he would get all sorts of problems that were created by teenage guys doing dumb shit to their cars. One guy I remember, put an 850 Holley DP on his bone stock 400 c.i. Olds 442. Every time he floored it, all of that massive raw gas would take the oil right of the cylinder walls and a six foot flame with a huge "boom" would come out of one of the tailpipes. I learned right there that when you build a motor, all the components had to be compatible. I put a tricked out pair of 2.02 heads on my 56 Chevy. Bad move. Those big combustion chambers dropped my compression to about 7 to 1. I took them off and bought a pair of original Power Pack heads (for only $200) and when I put them on, it gave me 12 to 1 compression with flat top pistons. What a difference! I built the engine up around those heads. What a monster.

Well, I hope you can economically get your ride running the way it should.

Marty,
I am agreeing with what you are stating. When I broke the engine in, I ran it on 87 *regular here in Cali*, then after 500 miles it started pinging, then 89 *regular*, pinging again and then 91 with the timing backed off around 4 - 5 degrees, no more ping but the gas mileage suffered horribly. I even went back and readjusted the valves, carb and still the same thing. There is nothing mechanically wrong, but running 105 octane VP red, my truck runs great, but not enough to spend $ 10 a gallon + if I get caught, I would hate to get the fine for that. That is why I am thinking of doing the T56 swap, to get the 3.73s a better trans in front of them as well as getting a set of Vortec heads *either edelbrock or gm fast burns*... That will wake up the engine and should get a the 350 using a bit less fuel.. I also will be changing the cam, lifters and pushrods to go with the newer heads though..

Cheers,

MartyStrat54 · 10-23-2009, 09:07 PM

What happened to all of the girls???

Well, I hope that using the Vortec's will work it's magic. I look back at being from Oklahoma with a major refinery just 20 miles away from where I lived. You could get 105 octane right from a pump. Our 1964 Olds had 11.75 compression. My dad used premium in it. High octane was about 28 cents a gallon and regular was 13 to 17 cents. Oh, those good old days. "Ass, gas or grass...nobody rides for free."

Yeah, tell me about it. I've spent (all) fifteen years of my life trying to get girls, and I think it's a bit hard when you're a maths nerd who listens to old school metal. I want to know how (without having to use substances like chloroform), as I'm really desperate. I've dug myself into a deep hole with my stupid jokes and tendency to say what comes to mind. Unfortunately, merely being a guitarist in a band isn't enough anymore. I want to give up on girls
Edit: There are no maiden chicks at my school, and there is only one other maiden guy (my drummer). Most girls here are bitchy and two-faced, and listen to terrible music (and I still want them!)

hey you're only 15, stop worrying obout it so much and give yourself a break,

you have years and years and years of frustration, pain, hassle and gut wrenching heartache to look forward to in the future so just chill right now and enjoy yourself

MartyStrat54 · 10-24-2009, 11:00 PM

Amen to that brother Skies. Look at it through Marty's eyes. If you are good at math, then that means you will be able to pass calculus and differential equations. You can become an electronic engineer and be like Tom Scholz of Boston. Make all of your own gear, design some amps and sell your line of stuff. By then, the chicks will be all over you.

For right now. Since you are a book hound, I would try the library. I would hang there or around bookstore/coffee shops. You'll find other smart chicks who could be looking for more than a cake donut.

trust me, I'm a rocker!

You need to just do your own thing. I mean you need to be really focused on what you enjoy and like to listen to and do. Eventually some gal will notice your passion and focus and that will attract her.

I'm sad, there's some hot Norwegian chick on my bus. But she's an exchange student, and it's like the end of the year, so she'll be leaving soon, and all the younger kids on my bus have made me seem like a total freak
Oh well, might try and start a conversation with her some time.

Go up to her and ask: "hey, you're Norwegian right? Is it true that toilet paper in Norweigian is "rumpekrafs" ? "
She'll laugh and say no and then you can tell her about some crazy Swedish dude on an internet forum saying it was, which will lead to her explaining that Swedes have lots of jokes about Norwegians.

Then you are wide open to start a discussion about how various cultures joke about each other, if she likes American culture, how you'd love to learn more about Norway (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) etc etc.

I have none anymore. Just looking back I guess. I have a couple of Toyota's and an E250 Ford van right now. I haul illegals from the border to KC. Just seeing if you caught that. Pretty plain cars compared to my past. __________________ MARTY 2009 Gibson Explorer-Hell Raising Machine 1989 Fender Strat Plus USA 2008 Fender Tele USA 2004 Schecter Elite w/DiMarzio's TSL100 with custom 4x12 cab.

Bought and sold them ....no big deal. Kept several of the ones I had from the early 80's but boy, I sure I had some of the strats, tele & LP I had in the old days. Had some nice Harleys back then too! __________________ 2009 JCM 2000 Dsl 100 MLB MC412A 1951 Fender Deluxe 2006 Hot Rod Deluxe 1995 Blues Junior 1994 Blues Deville Vox Path Finder 1982 Legend A 30 1980 Gibson Herritage Cherry Sunburst Standard 1980 Explorer White with gold HW 2000 52 Telecaster USA RI 1983 57 Strat LH USA RI 2003 57 Strat USA RI 1960 Silvertone Danelectro 1994 Fender P-bass 68 RI Acoustic guitars....not enough space to list !!!!!

Well I would say LS7 your camaro with a Tremec T56 MN12 505HP stock from the ls7 427 small block... Marty, You did have some sick ass cars, I love that yellow 69 vette and Buick gsx awesome.. I understand about the toys.. I had some nice newer muscle cars 2002 Camaro Z28 auto (major sin).. Redeemed myself with a 2005 Pontiac GTO Manual but over some issues with the gto and lemon law, I am currently driving a 08 Civic si sedan... I am just saying no more buying cars unless I can pay cash for one! I am focusing on getting my 68 C10 stepside back on the road safely and not guzzle as much gas it has been! 2 mpg in town and 4 mpg guzzling premium is not good!

I'm probably gonna stick with the M22 and 396 route as that's proper for that car. I've got my neat little high output V6 in my Chrysler if I wanna play around with those new fangled devices. It's 250hp, and I was thinking about doing a little bit to it to get it up to 275hp. Makes for a tasty daily driver and it's totally awful on the gas like a 396 or 427. __________________ w w w . c o w b o y m a f i a . n e t Myspace.com \| YouTube \| Facebook

MartyStrat54 Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Formerly Phoenix, now north of KC Posts: 2,583	Re: How to get GIRLS? Well I guess I was looking at the financial feasibility of it all. To get that small block Vette motor is a lot of cash. Then you have to add the computer to a non-computer car. I just thought that a 400 small block with some decent add-on parts would put out some good HP, but mainly brutal torque. In a small car like a Camaro this would be a weekend swap job with a 12 pack of beer. The LS-7 would be a whole lot different, although I would love to have any late 60's to 1972 GM Muscle car with that motor in it. That's what is amazing, is taking a 40 year-old car and putting in a current Vette motor...and the wickedest one of them all. I dyno'd 606HP out of my L88 Vette motor, but I could have gotten more. However, I was looking at being able to drive it on long trips and this forced a compromise in how much HP I was going to get. BTW, with an 800CFM Holley, it still got 14-15 MPG on the highway. __________________ MARTY 2009 Gibson Explorer-Hell Raising Machine 1989 Fender Strat Plus USA 2008 Fender Tele USA 2004 Schecter Elite w/DiMarzio's TSL100 with custom 4x12 cab.

I just put them on Monday night and haven't had a chance to try them out yet......I get home a little late because of the commute. They should grab a lot better than the old bald stockers. I expect this baby will stand right up now when I get on the gas.

MartyStrat54 Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Formerly Phoenix, now north of KC Posts: 2,583	Re: How to get GIRLS? Charlie... I don't understand why you are getting that big SUV type gas mileage? First off, I worked on a lot of early Pontiacs and I never was a fan of an AFB, whether OE or aftermarket. An AFB doesn't inject the fuel volume that a double-pumper Holley does. Plus you are running 3.73 gears. Those are basically the gears you would run with a manual. 3.55's would be the standard auto tranny gears. Do you run an electric fuel pump? With that poor of mileage I would be looking the engine all over for fuel problems. I've built a lot of engines, especially SB Chevy's and I have never heard of this type of gas mileage. Now if you said you were running a 383SB with tunnel ram and two 700CFM Double-Pumpers and a high lift roller and solids and polished and ported Dart heads, I could say that 4MPG was good. __________________ MARTY 2009 Gibson Explorer-Hell Raising Machine 1989 Fender Strat Plus USA 2008 Fender Tele USA 2004 Schecter Elite w/DiMarzio's TSL100 with custom 4x12 cab.

MartyStrat54 Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Formerly Phoenix, now north of KC Posts: 2,583	Re: How to get GIRLS? Well that's what I mean. For years, GM used 3.73's for any manual transmission and 3.55 for any auto's. To me, that's not a lot of difference. Now the truck rear end ratios were a little different on how they spaced them out. I wasn't a big fan of a Q-Jet, but there were some tricks to make them better for "stock" muscle cars. The AFB was a well built carb, but it was limited on CFM on big cubic inch engines or high revving ones. About the guy that did your heads. It sounds like one head could be different than the other head. In a technical sense, the compression ratio could be different. Wow! I've never been around that. It would only hurt your fuel consumption if the engine was knocking from weak gas in a high compression engine. When I was young, working at my dad's shop, he would get all sorts of problems that were created by teenage guys doing dumb shit to their cars. One guy I remember, put an 850 Holley DP on his bone stock 400 c.i. Olds 442. Every time he floored it, all of that massive raw gas would take the oil right of the cylinder walls and a six foot flame with a huge "boom" would come out of one of the tailpipes. I learned right there that when you build a motor, all the components had to be compatible. I put a tricked out pair of 2.02 heads on my 56 Chevy. Bad move. Those big combustion chambers dropped my compression to about 7 to 1. I took them off and bought a pair of original Power Pack heads (for only $200) and when I put them on, it gave me 12 to 1 compression with flat top pistons. What a difference! I built the engine up around those heads. What a monster. Well, I hope you can economically get your ride running the way it should. __________________ MARTY 2009 Gibson Explorer-Hell Raising Machine 1989 Fender Strat Plus USA 2008 Fender Tele USA 2004 Schecter Elite w/DiMarzio's TSL100 with custom 4x12 cab.

Well, I hope that using the Vortec's will work it's magic. I look back at being from Oklahoma with a major refinery just 20 miles away from where I lived. You could get 105 octane right from a pump. Our 1964 Olds had 11.75 compression. My dad used premium in it. High octane was about 28 cents a gallon and regular was 13 to 17 cents. Oh, those good old days.

If you are good at math, then that means you will be able to pass calculus and differential equations. You can become an electronic engineer and be like Tom Scholz of Boston. Make all of your own gear, design some amps and sell your line of stuff. By then, the chicks will be all over you. For right now. Since you are a book hound, I would try the library. I would hang there or around bookstore/coffee shops. You'll find other smart chicks who could be looking for more than a cake donut. __________________ MARTY 2009 Gibson Explorer-Hell Raising Machine 1989 Fender Strat Plus USA 2008 Fender Tele USA 2004 Schecter Elite w/DiMarzio's TSL100 with custom 4x12 cab.
