i understand that you get annoyed and mad when you see people with problems with their rx7, but is it really appropriate to insult them about it?? it seems you have tons of knowledge about rx7's, so why not help them out instead of insulting?? thanx for the info...

RotaryDreamz: Yes, you should very well have beaten that WS6. From what I've seen, they run low-mid 13s stock with a good driver. You also need to remember that you only raced him to 85mph. That's not quite the 1/8 of a mile on a WS6 as far as mph that they reach in the 1/8. They have plenty of torque(where the FD is lacking) so it is only natural that they pull on you in the lower gears. You were probably just starting to reel him in very slowly when you let off. I say do it again and race to about 110. You should see different results.

With my current mods (and stock injectors) I eat stock LS1s, the only one I ever had competition with was a WS6 vert that the guy said only had the cats off but we thought it had NOS too cuz we were straight neck and neck for all our mid speed pulls up to 120 or so where he backed off.
But those cars are mean in lower gears, unless your car has lots of power you won't be able to pull on a modded one until you get into 3rd.

I didn't realize you were selling your whole car, Sean. Is it because of the baby? If you do part it out, I'll definately take that PowerFC, and I'd be interested in a list of whatever else you have.
Sean's a good seller
Sorry to say your fuel setup is still sitting in the box on top of my printer...it'll be a while till they are installed.
I hate to see a perfectly good FD get parted out....but it's so easy to be a vulture sometimes, when my not-so-perfectly good FD is waiting for parts.

by the way...800lbs is significant difference when comparing fd to f bdoy.

okay what is the deffinition of torque then? Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. Horsepower is how quickly the work is done. SO if your car has absolutely zero torque your car WILL NOT MOVE! ******* dumbass

The thing about stock LS-1 powered cars is they SEEM like they should be so much faster, don't you agree? Don't get me wrong, I am definitely one of the guys that knows how strong even stock ones run, they are truly impressive cars.
But if you watch them race, from a "spectators" point of view, they bring a certain...menace...or whatever. They sound good, leave the line hard often accompanied by impressive wheel spin and rear end swerving, etc. But in the end they aren't all that much faster than a lot of much less impressive imports. I remember watching a LS-1 Camaro race a 2nd gen Eclipse that'd had a few mods done to it, the Camaro just stormed off the line, the Eclipse barely squeaked a tire...lol! Yet at the end of the race the Camaro only won by a car length or so.

Torque is simply τ=r*F and can be static.

You know, there will always be a faster car out there, right? ..even an LS1.
But if you are serious about this, head over here and I'm sure you'll be able to find a race in your area: http://ls1tech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=56
