Nice work. Your car must run like a raped ape. 360 rwhp is no joke in an FD.
But seriously, your friend is a kook. A ******* idiot. And so is his brother. It's funny because you'd think people who drive a fast car can appreciate a fast car. Especially when it's better looking, lighter, and more rare (than, say, a 'Vette). Why can't they just say, "damn, you worked me. Your ****'s fast!"
I've raced a few of my friends, and they've never given me the "your car is a POS" or "no way, it's not worth my time" kind of BS. Jeez, I hate some people these days. Sounds like this guy is measuring his worth by his car's capabilities.
Anyway, good kill, you really should give us some video

his mods 03 z06 intake, headers, xpipe,. borla stingers, and some throttle body mod.
my mods are full boltons at 14psi.
i dont care what anyone says the little stock twins rock in sequential mode when u have the car tunned right, they just spool instantly then when second turbo comes online u pull just about anything.
so far thats 03 cobra, 03 z06, regular vette all down to the 7!

congrats.. good kill

all in all i was pretty happy given he thought he could kill me yet from 35-145 he couldnt pass me. that is amble time in my mind. it was friggen hot and humuid with temps well into the 90s. my car was only making 14psi for some reason. i assume it was the heat??? i am gonna get him to line up side by side once it gets alittle cooler and up the boost to 16psi and smoke his **** right. i will link him to this thread to get his blood boiling a bit. perhaps he could share his side of the story.
for those that dont remeber my mods are all the boltons at for this run 14psi. he has z06 with varaam intake, kooks header, x pipe, and borla stingers. he also has some thottle body mod he says.

If so, can explain the his 4th gear pull on you.
Especially if he was right behind you. Or even 45Degrees off your bumper
on either side.. if he's close enough.

Next time he calls your car a piece of **** ask him what does that make his brother's car then? A slower bigger piece of **** that's what! ha ha.
IMO you seen to try and rationalize with these goons when you should be having fun with them instead. Talk **** back but don't take it seriously.
I had a dude here at work always talking **** about my car. ALWAYS saying how they were slow, how they always break, how his infinity g35 (4 door lol) is better and faster. Of course I always returned the favor: I would reply things as yeah I think your ego is inflated because the only thing you race are soccer moms, oh wait with that thing YOU drive YOU are a soccer mom! lol. So finally one day after work I said alright lets go. Of course I MURDERED him. A few days later he admitted that my car hauls ***. Honestly I always thought he was joking when he would make claims about his STOCK car being faster than mine. But after that day the **** talking stopped
guess he was serious lol. Some people.

honestly..after last night i am pretty confident that he sprayed me that time up at those speeds. last night i was pulling in every gear. i was watching him in my rear0view losing ground! yeah baby!
he wants to go from a 1st gear roll this weekend. he will lose.

Now you just need a good streetport. Another forum member took down a new Z06 three times and also a new 997 Porsche turbo with a streetport and the twins. He dynoed ~356 rwhp on a mustang dyno with a slipping clutch at 14 psi with a heat soaked engine. Being conservative he is making 392 rwhp on a dynojet. (10% difference)
Now add the fact his clutch isn't slipping, he runs 3 more lbs of boost and his car isn't heat soaked...

anyways...i wanted to ask u. how come i cant seem to get more than 14psi now? i dont see any leaks or here anything. do u think my stockers can be gettign tired? i been running14-15psi for 3 yrs now...for about 15k miles.
i wouldnt mind trying 16-17psi for the occassional race.

Also remember your boost sensor reads only up to 16.4 lbs if memory serves me correctly. When you run above 15 psi I always suggest mixing some 100 octane or race fuel. Mix it so you have 96/97 octane rating or more
Be VERY careful and before you do it talk to Jodney...

I would suggest race fuel while you are playing with the valve in case you spike it.

I signed up to this forum just for you buddy, greatest kill ever. I hate the import
hater type domestic guys. 2 gentlemen at my work wouldnt stop giving me the
business for weeks about how my boosted 240 couldnt hang with his ws1. Im
usually boosting 12 daily on my gt35r and the butt dyno is thinking 290-320rwhp.
Im thinking that i could hang if not pull so i agree to race after work one day...
So we leave the mall i work at (horrible assistant manager job unnamed place) at
roughly 1130pm and we head to the closest straight nearby. He says that he
wants a roll cause he loses traction and i agreed. I reached over and flipped the
boost controller to 15 pounds and said a prayer for my bone stock SR20det. We
roll to about 25 and I give the 3 honks andwere off! he immediately took the lead (damn boost lag!) I of course am thinking Nooo!
but then we get to the top of 2nd and i see hope, then get into 3rd and
pull very slightly, maybe just a bumper and a half, then as i throw into 4th we are
even again , and as i wind out 4th and the spooling sound takes
over the rumble of his pontiac, i look over at my mirror to notice he is about 1.5
cars back, i let off with a huge breath released. Excited with the win, and hands
still trembling from the rush,we stop and the next light about a half mile down,
and with the biggest smile on my face i look over and give a a shake of the head
with my eyes closed as if to say "you were saying" He took a while to speak but
finally got the courage to mutter, "good race!" and then gave me a thumbs up.
(at work this kid doesnt shutup about how much he wants a japanese cars
now!)
but hey, win these domestic lovers over one race at a time.
Thumbs up to you my friend.

but, judging by the mods and that he sometimes trap slightly higher than me i was thinking he was gonna beat me or atleast be very very close. but my car is clearly faster. each gear i widened the gap.
i think FD's on the twin sequential and from a second gear roll on could beat cars that they "should" lose to on paper. i thinkl having a light weight flywheel and instant boost gives u a nice jump on another car...even a more torque car.
