H/C 383 stroker LT1 vs Single turbo Rx7
My girl and I just left the movie theater parking lot and this white LT1 camaro with the SS hood comes up next to me and throughs a small rev. This thing sounded Nasty. I don't know much about Those cars but I figured it was cammed because it was loping very hard. Well I return the rev but we don't have any room ro run. We end up at a red light ( behind 2 cars) And He compliments my car. I told him to follow me and we pulled into a parking lot. I asked what he had and he said it was a H/C 383 stroker, with forged internals. He just bought a nitrous kit but it wasn't on the car yet(luckily for me)
Well I told him my setup and we complimented each others rides and decided to run them on a nearby deserted road. We get there and go from a 1st gear roll. He honked it off and on 3 we both hit it. First gear was over in almost an instant as we both spun. I slam 2nd and glance over to see this guy is still door to door with me All through 2nd I continue to hear his menacing motor roaring right next to me, not gaining any ground nor loosing any... My external wastegate was screaming just as lound as if challenging me to push the car even harder, faster. 3rd gear came with a quick chirp and guess who is still right next to me not giving up any ground what so ever?...But wait... by the middle of 3rd I finally start to inch away from him. We shut down at the end of my 3rd gear(about 100mph) with his front bumper at my passenger door and me still slowly walking away. Earlier in the parking lot we agreed not to stop after the race to avoid any more attention. So after the race we exchanged thumbs up and went our separate ways at the next light. I wasn't running full boost but If he had his nitrous kit hooked up I don't think it would have mattered( unless it's only a 50 shot lol) he would have had me. He was riding solo while I had my GF. but he was a heavy set guy that couldn't have weighed much less than me and my GF put together. Damn good race with a cool guy. I'm running a T04R on my FD with street ported motor. |
good kill... what boost were you running?
|
This was at about 14psi
|
Good kill. Sounds like a good night
|
REPOST! read it on LS1Tech. :bigthumb:
|
<----owned by "copy and paste" lol. I also got a bike (05 r6) kill last weekend but i'm to lazy to post it right now lol.
|
sounded like fun!
|
nice run
have you dyno'd recently? |
Thanx. I made 391@13-14psi
417@16psi |
Who tuned the car? I'd expect better numbers from that turbo.
|
It was tuned by Steve Kan. I only have 91 octane at the pumps and it was about 105 degrees outside and a little warmer in the shop that day.
Do you think that would make a big difference? I was honestly hoping to make 430+ but I can't say I'm disapointed in what i made. What #s would you have expected? Ported motor T04R 1.0 exh A/R 550/1600 supra pump jacobs electronics amp yada yaa yada.... |
I see. My friend made 430 at 15psi with the HKS TO4R kit which has the cutback housing. I want to say its a .86 a/r but I don't remember exactly. I'm sure the heat contributed somewhat but this was in the summer as well.
|
so why don't you get alcohol injection and run more boost? That turbo hasn't even hit it's sweet spot has it?
|
^^That's the plan.
