kept up with LT1 Trans-Am
I'm still calling BS. With your mods listed, youre still not going to touch an LT1, especially from a roll. Also especially by feathering the gas. and eyecandy, as far as spanking Vettes, i dont beleive that either unless the guy was a bad driver. As far as Vipers go, theyre only .3 seconds faster than a vette, so if anyones smoking vettes a viper shouldnt pose any more of a challange.

Yes, for street racing drivers pose the biggest handicap, his shifts were smooth and I doubt he was not flooring it either.
As for my mother Camaro I cannot shift a tranny faster than the auto transmission in that car, the only problem with autos is the launch, and if you know how to brake torque it then you will do great.

BTW his engine was just rebuilt w/ported and polished heads...
before the DP/magnaflow, i couldn't manage to get more than 11psi. wow, what a difference. it's also rather cool to start a 2k in 2nd and floor it, wait a few seconds and the tires are spinning. never been so excited before. well....tires have to be cold.
raced a 94 TransAm GT 6sp last night. like usual, we started at 50. he jumped about 5 ft or so and then i pulled slowly on him till 110 when i decided that was fast enough. wet roads and bald tires.
Guys, 6-speed LT1 F-bodies are mid-high 13second cars. A Turbo FC with a few bolt ons, especially a full exhaust and raised boost will have no problem keeping up with/beating one. We actually have an advantage from a roll.. If it was a LS1 on the other hand....
i know, if i were to make a video to prove it was me, it would be long and not have any cuts in it. if you want to download one of those, let me know. it'll be a big file.
should i start out every video with
"Hi, I'm fstrnyou from RX7club.com."

nah, i just thought it was cool that i was staying with him. after all, it's a friggin vette with custom exhaust with no cats.
I did however, half-assedly beat the TransAm. he started in second and had to shift to third early cause he was spinning tires. wish i'd have gotten that on tape but i didn't want anyone riding with me.

well, if they do run a 13.00 flat(which they don't) then you would be in the high 12's... which would be ALMOST impossible with those mods... or are you a HELL of a driver? 
i'm just sayin'..

your wastegate workin? you shouldnt be seeing that kind of boost.. And I wouldnt even drive your car now if your boosting that high thats pretty serious.. i wouldnt go over 10psi with your setup.. and Anything over 14psi on the stock turbo often is going to give it a quick death and your intake temps have got to be deadly with running 18psi though the stock ic! get the wastegate ported.. now!!

lol you act like 20 psi is a good thing... you that you are happy that you are able to "make" 20 psi.
You would prolly be faster at 11 or 12 psi. Talk to islander on here... he did what you are doing and his motor laster for 5 months if i remember right. So have fun and save your pennys man... you dont have much time.
