Guess it's time to say hi and introduce myself

[cabowabosam]

Hey all, I have been around for a little but but thought I should share a little more about me. This is my first blaster, it's a 99 with disc conversion done, mostly stock other than that. I used to ride an 85 Kawasaki Tecate 3 wheeler prior to this. I am a huge Sammy Hagar fan, love tequila, and try to get to Cabo every year for vacation. I have a 78 malibu that I also classify as a toy, nothing special 355, th350, 3.73s. Other than that I am a father of three and a big family guy. So... I wanted to say thanks to all those that offer great information and help out their fellow blaster brothers/sisters. Any of you ever make it to Mid Missouri look me up.

welcome to the forum we loooove pics


some of the malibu would be awesome too, ever had it to the track?

 

[cabowabosam]

Couple pics for you guys, I have never taken the malibu to the track but have had several people say it feels like a 12 second ride, I say it is a 13-14 second car it needs posi real bad

78 Malibu

 

[scotj77]

did you make the blasty bumper?

screw the blaster!! im diggin the BU!!! 14 second sounds more realistic depending on whats done to the motor

i had a 350 in a cutlass(chevy) lt1 internals, 535 cam, air gap intake, ported vortec heads, under drive pullies, 1 7/8ths long tube headers, built th350, 410 posi rear, car ran 13.2 at 104mph with sh*tty 2.0 60 foot

nice rides man!


i love that flat black!

 

[2003blast]

he said it feels like 12 so it's probably 15or 16

 

[cabowabosam]

Yeah I did make the bumber, when I bought it it was a jacked up stock bumper, the malibu has a 355, 882 heads, performer rpm intake, small cam, holly 700, hedman headers running through dual two and half inch exhaust into 40 series flowmasters. Trans is a th350, shift kit and mild converter. 3.73s in an open rear. Thanks for all the compliments, gotta have my toys.

No, I said it is probably a 13-14 second ride.

 

[brandoz28]

i'd say high 13's or in the 14's



throw a set of vortecs on it and it'll wake way up. and i agree the toys are required for sanity!

leave it open rear end, put a drag bag on the right side,( air bag) ditch the performer for a air gap(for vortec heads), step the cam up to a low 500s lift with proper overlap and duration for a n/a motor, ported vortec heads(the aluminum ones) 2500-2800 converter and that car will be a whole new animal, for relitivly cheap
