took the fd out tonight and ran with a few v8's. first run was with the full bolt on ls6 motor trans am. good run, he got the slight tq jump on me but i reeled him in pretty good. just for the record he never let off, i started pulling good up top. second race was a 6 psi turbo ss camaro with a ls1. i got a jump on him but the outcome was the same. the ls6 and the turbo ss are about even, that trans am moves very well. lastly my buddy in his evo ran with the turbo ss. it was a short run but they were very close, its an evo 9 full bolt on, fmic, etc.. running 30 psi on pump..... here are the vids. it was dark so quality is low.

 

hell yea boy! used to have a 2001 T/A.

Keep repping for the rotary boys

 

yea i try my best. its funny because they wernt talking **** but they were slouching on the evo 9. the turbo ss was like "you want to race from a 40 roll?" with a laugh and a chuckle. we said yea why not, he replys with "you will have no shot my turbo is in range" so i replied with "dont slouch on the evo 9 and btw if you take him ill run with the rx" still acting like we were going to get our asses handed. wound up going the other way... lol. either way they were cool guys they just didnt expect the outcome.

 

nice kills

 

Good kills, wonder how much hp the domestic guys were running with?

 

nice vids.

but Evo IX running 30psi on pump? wtf? hahaha

 

nice kills
the vids kinda sucked tho

 

good kills...and yeah the vids kinda suck but something is better than nothing...

 

2nd race did u jump on the 2nd honk? or are my ears deceiving me?

 

I thought the ws6 had the ls1? pretty sure it did. nice kill though regardless.

 

yup but a nearly 400 horsepower rx7 is pretty much a rocket. Power to weight ratio ftw.

 

I understand that, but he said it was the ls6 motor, when it's the ls1. that's all I was saying. oh yeah, and TEH 7 CAN'T LOSE!!

 

on the second race i did jump on the 2nd honk, i said that on the first post. i beat him pretty badly either way, my camera girl didnt move the camera over so you could not see. the ws6 and the turbo ss are almost dead even so that can give you an idea. on the ws6 he told me it was swaped to an ls6, im guessing they were both in the high 300's/low 400's for hp.

 

alright then, that explains it.

 

You would be correct.


Good kill, if it was stock only had in the range of 300 rwhp/rwtq to put it in perspective

edit: swapped ls6 = 325-370 rwhp/tq, so your 385hp and about a 1k lighter, yeah, that would be the outcome in the video lol

 

got an update, the turbo ss dynoed 430whp at 5 psi boost.

 

Nice vid.

I like how you were almost gonna pass the evo vs v8 race. lol

 

probably with meth injection. you can run a stock evo ix on stock turbo with stock head gasket and head bolts up to almost 30psi on 93 octane all day without a problem.

 

a turbo ls1 only dynoing 430 is disgusting that should be a 500whp car no problem, supercharged ls1's make high 400s easy on 6psi and turbos are way easier to make power....andto the guy who does an ls6 swap needs to be shot, there are cam only ls1s that put more power than the compete ls6 swap(thats h/c/i) its like u were running the special olympic class of ls1's good kills though, love FD's

 

i like how you let off when the evo and the SS were running, and still on his @$$..lol good runs.

 

r1988t, the turbo ss had the sts remote kit which on there site is 417whp or something. its one of those turbos in the rear of the car. as for the ws6 full bolt on with lsx whatever it was/is keeps up with the turbo ss so it does pretty well for a n/a.

also thanks for all the responces.

 

i'd love to run your Fd vs mine! Good kills though, those f-body's can be some real street killers if in the right hands.

 

theres a whole mess of nice fbods in upstate south carolina....where im from there are atleast 5 that are 11second or better in the quarter capabilities 2 that could prolly hit a 10 and one that will run 8's very soon
