His car probably makes 220-240 at the wheels, you think you could hang with a 390rwhp 3500lb car?

How about a 279.5rwhp n/a 5.0?

 

Yeah I think I could... about 50 more horsepower and 1000 extra pounds??? Shouldnt be too bad

And yeah, 279.5 whp shouldnt be too bad... Your brother seems to think we'd be a pretty good run...

 

who has traction????

 

It probably would. I'll have to put my shortbelt on the bypass the powersteering for this run though.

Let's make this run happen next saturday so I can really bang the gears with the new tranny.

 

New tranny huh, where did you get it done?? Oh and practice banging them your gonna need it!! LOL JFWY Vince!

 

If you have to ask...................................

 

Bought it from someone on the board. Dave Piercey built t5 with tremec gears.

Hitting the gears faster than anyone else isn't a problem, it's just racing people with 100+ more ci's and a couple hundred more hp that gives me trouble.

 

Make sure the a/c is off too

Just let me know man... Maybe you, your brother, and me can all get together and share a few friendly runs...

 

a/c off, windows rolled up ... take the passenger seat out, pull the air filter. You name it I'm gonna do it.

In all seriousness bypassing the p/s in a friend of mine's car made 5 more rwhp. So it's worth it.

I'm sure he's dieing for a rematch with a full bottle. When he was on a never used full bottle against me he got a half car to a car with me shifting like an old lady. So we're pretty damn even how we sit now.
