damn, pretty crazy match up. the 20b definently has top end over the LS car. Seems like the turbo on the 20B is a little too big for a short track like that tho. The car lagged pretty bad at a few points.

I would be interested to know more info on the set ups on both cars.

nice vid! I've never seen a 20b so laggy though? Must have been a decent sized turbo, not like a 20b needs all that big of a turbo anyway

Same turbo as on my car, GT42R 74mm T4 flanged tho I believe and not T6.

Bewtew, he's running a Jericho box with stock diff, Penske shocks and massive brakes..

The other car i have no info on at the moment other than he's a good guy that's local, got it up and running this year and it's a v8.

Apparently there are four parts to the race.

Best part starts after 3:25 The camera starts shaking from the G force and I thought he was going to time travel. vvv

Keep watching for the worst part. I can see how a new set of tires might have have been worth the money here.

Yep, hate to see any car wreck. It said he ran through oil put down by someone else. It would not have made any difference even if he had new tires. Oil on the track ain't no joke.

maybe he would have had the traction he needed to be in front of the ls7 FD.

Wouters attempt to finnish this race with a weak engine that has been serving him for 4 seasons...

His execution out of the corners were alot slower than usual and this is because of the lower comp of the engine. The ls1 powered rx7 was doing well against wouter because of the sht tires and the sacked engine...

After the crash Wouter pulled the engine and recorded 50psi comp in each rotor...

I will be freshening it up as soon as he gets it to me.... Cant wait ot see what it looks like inside after 4 seasons of 700hp racing...

He did a good job missing the other car sitting there.

It would be awesome if you wouldn't mind posting pics of the inside of the motor after tear down. 4 years is a lot of hard racing use. I would find it hard to see many boosted piston counter parts able to see this kind of abuse w/o a refresh.

4 years of road racing?! That's crazy. Anybody know what RPM full boost is reached (an how much)? Or some rwhp numbers?

Just looked up and saw that the engine was pulled with 50psi on each rotor, no wonder it was laggy. Still though, can't ask for much more than that with 4 years of racing.

If you don't have a 427 conversion, you're really not going to be in the hunt against a 20b.

Sounds like from this ONE video you have concluded that the 2 cars featured are the best that their respective camps have to offer. When in reality they are 2 random samples of what can be achieved.
This is like saying no 2 rotor can compete with a 20B...
